A process for producing a liquid coffee concentrate that has a reduced acrylamide content. The process involves contacting a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract with a carbon and/or silica based resin with adsorptive function to reduce the acrylamide content of the extract, prior to combining the treated extract with a high aromatic aqueous coffee extract. In particular, the process comprises the steps of: a) providing a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a first acrylamide content; b) providing a high aromatic aqueous coffee extract; c) contacting the low aromatic aqueous coffee extract with a carbon and/or silica based resin with adsorptive function to provide a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a second acrylamide content; and d) combining the low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a second acrylamide content and the high aromatic aqueous coffee extract to provide a liquid coffee concentrate, wherein the second acrylamide content is lower than the first acrylamide content.

A process for producing a liquid coffee concentrate that has a reduced acrylamide content. The process involves contacting a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract with a selectively-permeable membrane to reduce the acrylamide content of the extract, prior to combining the treated extract with a high aromatic aqueous coffee extract. In particular, the process comprises the steps of: a) providing a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a first acrylamide content; b) providing a high aromatic aqueous coffee extract; c) contacting the low aromatic aqueous coffee extract with a selectively-permeable membrane to provide a low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a second acrylamide content; and d) combining the low aromatic aqueous coffee extract having a second acrylamide content and the high aromatic aqueous coffee extract to provide a liquid coffee concentrate, wherein the second acrylamide content is lower than the first acrylamide content.

A filter capsule for secondary filtration of extracted coffee is provided, where the filter capsule comprises a housing and at least one filter element or consists thereof. The housing comprises a bottom, at least one side wall and at least one cover or consists thereof, the at least one filter element being disposed in an interior space of the housing. Coffee extracted on a brewing strainer can be subjected to a secondary filtration so that suspended particles and emulsified oils of a specific size are separated from the coffee by the filter element of the filter capsule and a new type of coffee is produced. The use of the filter capsule for secondary filtration of coffee is therefore proposed.

A method and apparatus provides a coffee beverage having a reduced terpene content, in which terpene content is reduced by increasing the particle size of the coffee grounds.

The invention relates to a system, method and capsule for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product. The system comprises an exchangeable capsule, and an apparatus comprising a receptacle for holding the exchangeable capsule, and a fluid dispensing device for supplying a fluid to the exchangeable capsule. The exchangeable capsule comprises a circumferential wall, a bottom, and a lid. The wall, bottom and lid enclose an inner space comprising the extractable product. The receptacle comprises bottom piercing means intended for piercing an entrance area of an alternative capsule for creating at least one entrance opening for supplying the fluid to the extractable product. The entrance area of the capsule according to the invention comprises an entrance filter for supplying the fluid to the extractable product there through. In use, the entrance filter is positioned at a distance from the bottom piercing means, such that the capsule of the system is not pierced by the bottom piercing means.
