Abstract
A method of brewing a flash brewed coffee concentrate includes flash brewing ground coffee to brew a hot coffee extract and mixing the hot coffee extract with a frozen concentrated coffee extract to chill the hot coffee extract to a temperature less than 130° F. while increasing the concentration of the hot coffee extract to form the flash brewed coffee concentrate.
Claims20
A method of brewing a flash brewed coffee concentrate, the method comprising:
- flash brewing ground coffee to brew a hot coffee extract;
- and
- mixing the hot coffee extract with a frozen concentrated coffee extract, the frozen concentrated coffee extract chilling the hot coffee extract from a temperature above 145° F. to a temperature less than 130° F., the frozen concentrated coffee extract increasing the concentration of coffee solids in the hot coffee extract to form a flash brewed coffee concentrate, the flash brewed coffee concentrate requiring further dilution before being ready-to-drink.
A method of brewing a flash brewed coffee concentrate, the method comprising:
- flash brewing a hot coffee extract;
- and
- mixing the hot coffee extract with a frozen concentrated coffee extract to form a flash brewed coffee concentrate, the flash brewed coffee concentrate having a concentration of coffee solids greater than a concentration of coffee solids in of the hot coffee extract and requiring further dilution to be considered ready-to-drink.
A method of brewing a flash brewed coffee concentrate, the method comprising:
- roasting coffee beans to a 66 or less on the Agtron scale;
- grinding the roasted coffee beans to produce ground coffee;
- flash brewing the ground coffee in water having a temperature in a range of 165° F. to 205° F. for a range of 5 to 25 minutes to brew a hot coffee extract having a concentration of coffee solids less than 15° Brix;
- mixing the hot coffee extract with a frozen concentrated coffee extract, the frozen concentrated coffee extract chilling the hot coffee extract from a temperature above 145° F. to a temperature less than 130° F. and to form a flash brewed coffee concentrate having a concentration of coffee solids greater than 15° Brix;
- heating the flash brewed coffee concentrate after mixing to a temperature less than 190° F.;
- and
- chilling the heated flash brewed coffee concentrate to a temperature of less than 45° F., the chilled flash brewed coffee concentrate requiring further dilution to be considered ready-to-drink.
