Appl. No.:

10/204748

William Davis - West Chester OH, US

International Classification:

A23F005/00

US Classification:

426/595000

Abstract:

This invention provides a novel coffee blend and a process for making said novel coffee. This novel coffee contains both a “faster-roast fraction” and a “slower-roast fraction”. The “faster-roast fraction” contributes no less than 20% and no more than 80% to the 100% coffee blend, preferably no less than 30% and no more than 70% to the coffee blend, and more preferably, no less than 40% and no more than 60% to the coffee blend. Similarly, the “slower-roast fraction” contributes no less than 20% and no more than 80% to the 100% coffee blend, preferably no less than 30% and no more than 70% of the coffee blend, and more preferably, no less than 40% and no more than 60% of the coffee blend. Any 100% coffee blend where the “faster-roast fraction” and the “slower-roast fraction” in combination contribute a minimum of 70% of the 100% total is covered herein. Said “faster-roast fraction” has been roasted for a time period of about 1X to about 3.5 X and said “slower-roast fraction” has been roasted for a time period of from about 4.5X to about 6X, wherein the value of X is constant within each 100% coffee blend. X is greater than or equal to one (1) minute, preferably from about one (1) minute to about four (4) minutes, more preferably from about one (1) minute to about three (3) minutes, most preferably from about one (1) minute to about two (2) minutes. In the process of the present invention, each fraction consists of one or more independently roasted streams, each with the same or different roast times and/or the same or different target Hunter-L colors and/or the same or different coffee types, as long as the roast time of each stream falls within the specified time range where X is constant for a given 100% coffee blend. The faster-roast fraction, the slower-roast fraction, and any other streams are blended after roasting.

Assignee:

The Procter & Gamble Company - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

A23F 510

US Classification:

426595

Abstract:

Roasted coffee granules are admixed with roasted coffee non-granules in critical weight ratios. The smaller coffee non-granules include flaked coffee, flaked coffee fines, ground coffee fines, and coffee agglomerates. The larger coffee granules include roast and ground coffee. The coffee granules and coffee non-granules are densified to between 0. 41 to 0. 56 grams/cc. The compact coffee has the flowability, flavor, aroma and strength of roast and ground coffee. At equal volumes, the compact coffee results in more brewed coffee than conventional roast and ground coffee.

International Classification:

A23F 500

US Classification:

426533

Abstract:

The invention is a method for treating coffee beans to make a better-tasting and improved aroma coffee. Green coffee beans are first partially roasted to a Hunter a-color between about 3 and about 9, under roasting conditions sufficient to increase the Hunter a-color of the beans by at least about 1. 5 a-color units during the partial roasting step. The partially roasted beans are then treated with either an alkaline solution comprising water and a foodgrade base, or a coffee bean extract solution comprising water and from about 1% to about 12% coffee solids. Preferably, the partially roasted beans are treated by soaking them in the solution at a temperature between about 65. degree. F. (18. degree. C. ) and about 120. degree. F. (49. degree. C. ) for a time between about 2 hours and about 24 hours.

International Classification:

A23F 504

US Classification:

426466

Abstract:

This invention relates to an improved process for preparing reduced density roast coffee beans. The improved process comprises predrying green coffee beans to a moisture content of from about 0. 5% to about 10% by weight, fast roasting the beans, and cooling the roasted beans. The resulting roasted beans have a Hunter L-color of from about 14 to about 25, a Hunter. DELTA. L-value is less than about 1. 2 and a whole roast tamped bulk density of from about 0. 28 to about 0. 38 g/cc. The resulting roast coffee beans are more uniformly roasted than traditional reduced density coffee beans.
