摘要:
This invention is designed to obtain desirable flavor and aroma volatiles during processing of an aqueous coffee extract obtained from roasted and ground coffee. The overall process of preparing soluble coffee by spray drying a concentrated aqueous extract is improved by employing a stripper to remove up to 20% of the extract prior to concentration and to recover non-condensible and condensible aromas in cold water using an absorber having 4-48 plates and a 0.1/l to 30/l L/V ratio prior to reintroducing the absorbed aromas into the concentrated coffee extract and spray drying it to give an aromatized dry soluble coffee.

A method for forming a steamed roast and ground coffee having low off-flavor and desirable acidity is disclosed. A conventional coffee extraction column is heated to a temperature above 212°F and then loaded with roast and ground coffee. Super-heated steam is passed into the column to develop a pressure of about 100 to about 200 psig within the column, and the coffee is steamed for about 2 to about 15 minutes. The steamed coffee is extracted in a conventional manner. The extract from the steamed coffee can be combined with the extract from unsteamed coffee. An advantage of this steaming process is that it creates desirable acidity in soluble coffee extracts without developing undesirable off-flavors.
摘要:
A method of producing a freeze-dried coffee with a multi-colored appearance resembling that of roast and ground coffee involves separately extracting the atmospheric coffee solids and the hydrolysis coffee solids, the two extracts are frozen and the frozen extract is ground and freeze-dried. The method provides a multi-colored product resembling the appearance of roast and ground coffee.

A beverage forming system and method in which characteristics of a dispensed beverage are controlled. A beverage forming system may include an outlet chamber having an inlet opening to receive beverage from a beverage forming chamber, and an outlet opening to output beverage. The outlet chamber may have a standpipe in the outlet chamber between the inlet and the outlet openings that prevents a direct passage of beverage to the outlet openings, thus controlling characteristics of the beverage, such as an amount of foam, the size of bubbles in a foam, etc. The standpipe may have a portion extending upwardly from a bottom of the outlet chamber and impeding a direct flow path between the inlet and the outlet openings, thus forcing flow to pass around and/or over the standpipe portion.

摘要:
Various beverage preparation systems, beverage pods, and beverage preparation machines are described. In some embodiments, a beverage pod for the preparation of a single serving of a beverage includes a body portion containing whole coffee beans. The pod can include a movable grinding element positioned in the body portion. The movable grinding element can be configured to move relative to the body portion and to grind the coffee beans into coffee grounds inside the beverage pod. The pod can include an inlet configured to receive an introduction of liquid. The liquid can mix with the coffee grounds to prepare the beverage inside the pod. The beverage can be dispensed through an outlet, such as directly to a cup.
