Subject: how is flavored coffee made?


I would like to know how flavored coffee is made. I have had hazelnut coffee
all ready roasted and it has the hazelnut flavoring already in it. Can this
be done at home with a roaster ?

Thanks
Rich

Can it be done? Yes.
Should it be done? IMO, no.

In the cases I have seen, the flavoring is a very concentrated
flavoring added to the beans after roasting. It should be done in a
container separate from any used for any other purpose- that is, not
in the roaster or its cooling tray. In commercial situations a device
that looks like a cement mixer is used.

Many (most) of the flavorings are fairly nasty and concentrated (and
fake as well), and some are flammable IIRC because of their alcohol
content. Some of them will permanently fog the plastic parts of your
grinder as well as tainting the flavor of subsequently ground beans.

Your best bet is to get some high quality flavoring and add it to the
coffee beverage directly.

A flavoring agent, usually in a propylene glycol
base(*) (yes, that's antifreeze) is added to the coffee
beans, preferably as soon as they reach room
temperature, but certainly within 24 hours according
to most manufacturers.
(*) A small minority of flavorings is available in an
ethanol base. Blueberry Cinammon something or other
(Crumble?) from Flavor Dynamics (IIRC) is one that
almost comes to mind.

These flavorings are generally added in the amount
of 2% to 3% by weight, and are then simply stirred or
shaken to coat the beans. If done as recommended,
the flavoring tends to soak into the bean... otherwise
it tends to stay on the surface. Does that really
matter? Probably not. One of the Allen Flavors sales
reps even suggested adding their flavors directly to
the brewed cup. I personally don't drink flavors except
when I "have" to, but I disliked that method even more
than the normal one. On the plus side, this method
doesn't gunk up your grinder with flavor molecules
so tenacious that they take years to evaporate on their
own. If you think, "I'll just grind regular coffee and
eventually the flavor will go away," you'll be right as
long as you realize that "eventually" in this context
means literally scores of lbs. before it's no longer
noticeable it in your regular coffee, and hundreds of
lbs. before the smell is completely gone from your
grinder.

No, not with a roaster. ;-)

There is more than one type of antifreeze; the typical kind one finds in
automobiles is ethylene glycol and is TOXIC. It has a sweet flavor and when
accidentally consumed, often by animals such as dogs, it can be fatal.

Propylene glycol is another agent used in antifreeze, but is regarded as
nontoxic and can be used in food products. It is, I believe, commonly found
in antifreeze sold as "RV Antifreeze." One also finds it in residential and
commercial settings for circulating in pipes under driveways to create a
"snomelt" system one finds in some cold areas that get a lot of snow. The
reason for using this specific compound is that it won't freeze under normal
circumstances and if it leaks out won't do serious environmental damage.

I have an outdoor fountain in the backyard that is made of cast concrete and
can't easily be moved. In the winter I immerse the pump in RV Antifreeze in
a bucket, to prevent it from freezing since it requires several people and a
lot of effort to get it out of the fountain.

And it is actually flammable when heated. BTDT! It does indeed taste
sweet.

I recently tried New Mexico Pinon coffee
(www.nmpinoncoffee.com) which is made by throwing a type of local pine
nut into the roaster during the very last stages of the process. The
way they describe it is just that simple. I'm not a fan of flavored
coffee, but I must say that the taste of this commercial blend was
fairly refined and subtle, and I would drink it again sometime.
(Actually, the taste was not dissimilar to hazelnut, but richer and
more chocolatey).

There are some beans that are flavored with extracts and so
forth, and I find the taste of those intolerable.

So the answer to your question is yes, it seems it can be done
with great success, though you'd have to ask the experts here how, as
I haven't a clue.

When you order flavored coffee from some coffee houses, you get an
inferior coffee bean. They are hoping the masking of the artificial
can hide the true taste of a good cup of coffee.

Thats why Its cheaper to buy flavor coffee from suppliers.

That is not at all a rule. Many roasters will not even HAVE any cheap
coffee in-house to roast. Others will roast what the customer
requests. Commercial roasters are selling a product, and many sell it
without having their name on it at all, selling 100% "rebranded" or
no-name coffee to resellers, coffee shops, restaurants, instutional
use, etc. They merely supply the product requested by their
customers.

If you own a coffee house and tell your commercial roaster/supplier
that you need to have XX pounds of caramel-cat-box coffee at $$ a
pound supplied to them, they will do their best to fill that need. If
that takes uasing 50% Vietnamese Robusta at $1.15 a pound green and
contracting with the local animal shelter, then that's what they will
do to keep that customer happy.

On the other side of the coin, if you are the roaster and you tell
that customer, "I don't roast that kind of coffee," then odds are that
they will look for a supplier that will, whether or not they stay in
business or whether or not you do does not matter at the apoint, if
that is what they want.

As a salesman I learned that when a customer comes in and says, "I
want this bike in green" then our job was to say, "How would you like
to pay for that, and would you like me to deliver it?" Coffee, being a
food product, is a bit different. In the above case, I would supply a
sample of the requested coffee and say, "Here is what I can do. Are
you sure this is the taste you are looking for?" or something like
that. If they persist, then I would say, "When would you like us to
deliver it?"

In other words, if you are getting bad tasting flavored coffee at a
coffee shop that does not roast their own coffee, first blame the
shop. It is probably what they wanted.

Of course, if you don't like the flavor of the coffee, then best
solution is to not get your coffee from Starbucks any more! ;-)

Isn't that "MOST"?

You proved to me that SOME coffee houses that sell flavored coffees also
sell great unflavored coffee. What I got from you was some of the finest
coffee I ever drank. You proved me wrong, and I appreciate it. I like
being wrong (so long as I haven't gone too far out on a limb) because that
means I've learned something.

no, i don't think so. sure, there are some who will cut all the
corners they can and dump flavoring on so-so beans, but in the cup
that still tastes like so-so beans with flavoring on them. perhaps
most flavored coffee customers can't tell the difference? i don't
know. i *do* know that i have to cup the base coffee i use for
flavoreds, and i hate to cup bad coffee. i've shifted my base around
from time to time over the years, but i seem to come back to SHB costa
ricans, usually tarrazu, as providing the best base "coffee" taste
upon which to add flavors. i know others who feel colombians make the
best base, or even guats. others that i thought were pretty good
bases were panama boquette and a nicaraguan that i can't recall any
more detail about.

yes, there are unscrupulous roasters who flavor poor beans, just as
there are roasters who package non-organic coffee as organic, label
full-sun coffees as "shade grown", and who "substitute" coffees as the
moment may require*, but we would like to think of them in the
minority, for if they are in the majority, then the "specialty" coffee
biz is a very sad place indeed (and i don't think it is).

I think that if I was a roaster and had two bags of beans, one spectacular

I know the right answer is to assure there are no so-so bags and return them
to the greens broker "since I've done all my meticulous cupping and they

but that's not how it <ought to > work. the flavor base should be
selected just as one would select any coffee for any specific purpose.
an "off" bag of yrgacheffe has no business being flavored if the
selected base is guat, for example.

if one is buying enough coffee that one can send a bag/shipment back,
then one usually doesn't cup samples from *each* bag, anyway, but
rather selects a series of random samples from the shipment.


What do you do with
>the beans that end up in your storage that are not spectacular?

for me, it depends upon the coffee, and the taste. i had one bag of
past-crop tarrazu that i'd bought specifically for roaster training
(got it cheap), but for a few reasons it didn't get used for a couple
of years. last fall i started teaching chelsie how to roast, and the
half-dozen batches or so that she did (before getting a "real" job)
ended up getting ground and bagged and shipped down to a couple of
shelters in louisiana. it wasn't great coffee, but it still had a
good flavor, and was still far better than anything in a can.

Everything _IS_ relative! I roasted some sweep for the folks at my
MD's office. Two batches in the Hottops and ground for drip, then
split equally into four bags. Went back a week later and the first
thing out of the receptionist's mouth (as soon as she saw me she
inturrupted her phone call with a hand over the receiver's mouthpiece)
was, "EVERYONE LOVED the coffee!" Just generic Arabica sweep with the
pop rivets, phone wire, jute bits, rocks, and already-roasted beans
picked out.

Sure it can be done.

But in my experience the stuff used to create "Southern Pecan",
"Tiramisu", Viennese Cinnamon" and all the other noxious flavors are so
overpoweringly strong and artifical tasting with unpleasant aftertaste
that I can't finish the cup. There may be some good flavors out there,
but I haven't found them. At home just adding some quality ground
cinnamon or chocolate to the basket is the best way to flavor if you
must.

But adding chemicals suspended in other chemicals to beans...no way.

I would rather pay for good beans roasted by a pro and enjoy the many
flavors inherent in the coffee.

Wow. That both alarms and saddens me.

I remember the first time I had a cup of Coffee Connection coffee. At the
time, in my mis-spent youth, I used to drink instant. It was like a
revelation to me. I remember thinking "Yes! This is what coffee tastes
like!" Before then, I had only hints of what the real thing was like.

Well, yes, but the point being that the flavors added to coffee in my
experience and others tend to be very artifical, generally overwhelming
and almost thickly (and sickeningly) sweet.

Everything that I have been taught indicates that
Coffee is not flavored per se -- but scented.
The way our olfactory system works, one can perfume
a product, like coffee, and achieve the same end results.

Thaks for all the informative replies.

The first true coffee that I had which was flavored was from Intercourse Pa.
The Hazelnut was outstanding, but to be honest, I can't afford their
prices..... Its not too bad if your at the store buying it but with
shipping and handling a half pound can get up to $10 or more.
