Nutrients and/or nutrient supplements compacted into soluble pods are described, namely the invention is a combination of formulation with compaction methods and coating/encapsulating methods. The formulation includes combining nutrients and/or nutrient supplements with at least one dissolution agent, and with at least one binding agent. The methods include compaction and coating/encapsulating the resulting compact-pod or formula to generate a single serve compact-pod unit that can be dissolved into a beverage or liquid.

Nutrients and/or nutrient supplements with cannabis-derived compounds compacted into soluble pods are described, namely the invention is a combination of formulation with compaction methods and/or coating/encapsulating methods. The formulation includes combining nutrients and/or nutrient supplements with at least one cannabis-derived compound with at least one dissolution agent and at least one binding agent. The methods include compaction and coating/encapsulating the resulting compact-pod or formula to generate a single serve compact-pod unit that can be dissolved into a beverage or liquid.

A structured coffee composition and to various items made using such coffee composition are provided. The structured coffee composition is suitable for use in one or more of automatic drip coffee makers, single serving coffee makers, percolating coffee makers, moka pot coffee makers, French press coffee makers, vacuum coffee makers, expresso coffee makers, thermal coffee makers, or any combination of two or more thereof.

A coated coffee particle and to various items made a coated coffee particle are provided. The coated coffee particle may be formed or molded in to structured coffee composition. The coated coffee particle is suitable for use in one or more of automatic drip coffee makers, single serving coffee makers, percolating coffee makers, moka pot coffee makers, French press coffee makers, vacuum coffee makers, expresso coffee makers, thermal coffee makers, or any combination of two or more thereof.

This invention provides pellets for a coffee drink comprising composition components selected from a group of coffee flavours, foam forming materials, binders, flavour enhancement materials, sugars and sweeteners. Ratio or composition and date of manufacturing of the pellets are impressed on each pellet for identification.

A coffee product is produced in the form of an effervescent tablet, typically in the shape of roasted coffee beans. The end-product, once the tablet is added to water, is an instant coffee having the aroma, flavor and taste of freshly brewed coffee, such as Arabica or Robusta coffee. The product will appeal to all sensesauditory, olfactory and have the visual effects of an effervescent tablet that can be made hot or cold. The product is convenient, easily accessible and done without the use of any machinery, apparatus or even electricity. This coffee product will create a new culture in the way people drink coffee nationally and globally.

A soluble cascara powder product with improved compositional and sensory characteristics, for use in food and beverage products is provided, as well as methods of preparing the soluble cascara powder. The soluble cascara powder may be a blend of powders derived from coffee cherry fruit to create a highly palatable and novel soluble cascara powder product, and one with desirable compositional characteristics such as phenolic content and bioactive compound content. Example methods of processing of the coffee fruit to prepare the soluble cascara powder may also result in soluble cascara powder that will result in advantageously low turbidity levels when used in beverage compositions.

Capsule for preparing a beverage, in particular a hot beverage, comprising a core material in the form of a compact or a bulk material, wherein the core material is a beverage substance, and a shell encasing the core material, the shell comprising a protein.
