Method for producing aroma composition from roasted coffee beans and apparatus for collecting aroma from roasted coffee beans

An apparatus for collecting aroma from roasted coffee beans, which is provided with:

• a device for grinding roasted coffee beans,
• a first flow channel which is communicated with the grinding device and through which a gas can flow, the gas containing aroma compounds emitted in grinding the roasted coffee beans and containing a fine powder and thin flakes,
• a fine powder and thin flakes removing device communicated with the first flow channel,
• a second flow channel which is communicated with the fine powder and thin flakes removing device and through which the gas, from which a fine powder and thin flakes have been removed, can flow,
• an aroma compound adsorbing device communicated with the second flow channel, and
• a gas flow generating device that generates a gas flow continuing from the grinding device to the aroma compound adsorbing device, and in which:
• the aroma compound adsorbing device has an adsorbent holder that holds an adsorbent therein, and the adsorbent holder has a mesh lid at both ends thereof in the gas flowing direction therethrough.
