The present invention relates to coffee beverage compositions comprising soluble coffee solids and particles of roast coffee beans and with reduced formation of scum and a low content diterpenes. The invention further relates to methods of producing such coffee beverage compositions by removal of oil from a slurry of particles of roast coffee beans.

The present disclosure is directed to whole spectrum compounds from a first food infused into a food grade oil or second food and beverage consumables, along with methods of producing the consumables infused with compounds from the first food. The second food consumables are infused in an overall two-step process, in which compounds from a first food are initially infused into a food grade oil, which in turn is used to infuse a second food and beverage consumable with whole spectrum compounds from the first food.

An upward flow extraction method, apparatus, and extract are disclosed. The upward flow extraction method can comprise loading extraction material into an extraction cell having a bottom portion and a top portion; introducing a first aliquot of extraction medium through the bottom portion of the extraction cell; expelling gas from the extraction cell through the top portion of the extraction cell; closing the top portion of the extraction cell and increasing the pressure in the extraction cell as extraction medium flows into the bottom portion of the extraction cell; stopping the flow of extraction medium into the extraction cell; steeping the extraction material in the extraction medium under pressure to produce an extract; and introducing a second aliquot of extraction medium through the bottom portion of the extraction cell to push extract through top portion of the extraction cell.

A method of forming a ready-to-drink coffee product includes contacting a first ground coffee composition with water having a temperature of less than 10 C. to form a first cold brew concentrate; mixing the cold brew concentrate and water to form a mixture; heating the mixture to a temperature of less than 100 C. to form a pre-fill coffee composition; pouring the pre-fill coffee composition into a cavity; concurrent to pouring, increasing a temperature of the pre-fill coffee composition and holding the pre-fill coffee composition at the temperature to form a filled coffee composition; and cooling the filled coffee composition to ambient temperature within the cavity to form the ready-to-drink coffee product.

Disclosed herein is a process of extracting coffee oil from a coffee-based feedstock by using an extraction solvent, where a mixture of the coffee-based feedstock and the extraction solvent is kept under mechanical or magnetic agitation for at least 30 minutes, and subsequently, a liquid phase including the extraction solvent is separated and the extraction solvent is removed from the liquid phase, to obtain the coffee oil. The extraction solvent can be an ester solvent. Also disclosed herein is a coffee oil obtained by the aforementioned process.
