Flavored Coffee Beans Creation
- Adding Spices and Oils
- Spices can be added when soaking beans, roasting alongside beans, or after brewing to allow for a wide range of flavors.
- Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves are common spices used.
- Adding spices while beans are warm allows optimal flavor absorption since the beans are more porous.
- Flavor Oils and Syrups
- Flavored coffee beans are created when flavor oils are added to roasted beans.
- Over 100 flavor oils are commonly used for sweet, fruity, spicy, and nutty profiles.
- Around 3 percent flavor oil by weight of beans is recommended, as too much oil can overpower natural flavors.
- Infusions and Maturation
- Oils like coconut and essential oils can add nice flavors when infused into brewed coffee.
- Allowing flavored beans to mature over 12 months enhances delicate flavors.
- Proper green bean storage prevents off-notes from developing.
