A packaged coffee product with oxygen dissolved therein along with milk and/or sweeteners in the sealed packaging is provided. Preferably, the pH of the product is 4.6 or greater, preferably 5.0 or greater. The coffee product may be hot or cold brew coffee and may have other gasses such as nitrogen and/or carbon-dioxide in the sealed container. Ideally, there is oxygen in both the headspace and liquid portion of the beverage in order to inhibit C. bot growth without requiring retort processing. Preferably, the calorie count is in the range of 0.5-9 calories per ounce.

The present invention relates to beverage compositions useful in beverage capsules and their preparation, particularly to beverage compositions comprising roast and ground coffee and dried coffee extract obtained by extracting coffee at a temperature below 60 C. Such capsules are useful for the preparation of coffee beverages in beverage preparation machines.

A beverage supplement and method for making the same is disclosed. In some embodiments the beverage supplement is comprised of a first frozen composition made from at least one additive mixed with at least one liquid and a second frozen composition made from at least one additive mixed with at least one liquid, wherein the resulting frozen compositions may have different/varying surface areas, shapes, volumes, flavors, and concentrations. Varying the combination of surface areas, shapes, volumes, formulas, flavors, and concentrations of frozen compositions influences the duration of complete liquefaction and the release of additives, allowing a user to create an iced beverage with greater flavor control.

The present invention relates to a dried roast and ground coffee product allowing to prepare a cold brew coffee beverage in 5 minutes without compromising on the flavour. The present invention also relates to methods for making said dried roast and ground coffee product. Finally, use of said dried roast and ground coffee product are provided.

The present invention provides to a method of preparing a flavored coffee using reduced amount of flavorant, and a coffee composition used for preparing such flavored coffee. An amount of colorant is used to replace up to 20.3% by weight of the flavorant present in a flavored coffee brew. The flavor perception of the coffee brew containing reduced amount of flavorant is equivalent to that of the original coffee brew containing regular amount of flavorant.

Disclosed is a novel instant coffee comprising aromatized soluble particles and a method of aromatizing soluble coffee particles. The soluble coffee particles are mixed with roast whole beans, and the mixture is held for at least two days. The result is aromatized soluble coffee particles, as evidenced by the presence of relatively high amounts of 2-methylpyrazine in instant coffee comprising said particles. The instant coffee has a favorable content in aroma components, yet with a low oil content.
