    摘要: A method for producing a blended coffee extract comprises:
    a. extracting a quantity of roasted coffee with a quantity of aqueous solvent to form a first-pass coffee extract having a concentration of dissolved coffee solids therein of a first value;
    b. extracting the same quantity of roasted coffee previously extracted in step (a) with an additional quantity of aqueous solvent to form a second-pass coffee extract having a concentration of dissolved coffee solids therein of a second value less than first value;
    c. increasing the concentration of dissolved coffee solids in the second-pass coffee extract by removing a quantity of aqueous solvent therefrom; and
    d. mixing a quantity of the first-pass extract with a quantity of the second-pass extract concentrated in step (c) to form a blended extract.

    摘要: Typical known methods for producing large quantities of concentrated extracts from solid raw materials such as ground, roasted coffee are not ideally suited to producing high quality coffee extracts that are rich in flavor and fragrance, and which maintain the varietal characteristics of the roasted coffee from which they are produced. The current invention provides filtration methods for producing such high quality concentrated extracts from more dilute extracts via solvent removal. The invention provides methods that have sufficient flexibility and scalability to be used for a wide variety of applications, including for producing industrial-scale quantities of extracts for the food and beverage industry. The invention provides methods and apparatus that can produce highly concentrated, "gourmet quality" extracts for use as flavoring agents, beverage concentrates, and fragrances. The solvent-reduced, concentrated extracts produced according to the inventive solvent removal methods can be advantageously used for applications where high quality coffee extracts, with a high concentration of soluble coffee solids, for example of a least about 6wt. % - 40wt. %. And a high level of retention of varietal flavor and fragrance characteristics are desired.

The current invention provides filtration methods e.g. reverse osmosis or nanofiltration for producing such high quality concentrated extracts from more dilute extracts via solvent removal. The invention provides methods that have sufficient flexibility and scalability to be used for a wide variety of applications, including for producing industrial-scale quantities of extracts for the food and beverage industry. The invention provides methods and apparatus that can produce highly concentrated, 'gourmet quality' extracts for use as flavoring agents, beverage concentrates, and fragrances.
