Coffee anyone?
Thinking outside the cup
Coffee flavours: brewing new opportunities
From creamy iced coffee to an elegant Espresso Martini, coffee is finding its way into an increasing variety of food and beverage concepts. Combined with caramel, vanilla, or chocolate notes, its distinctive roasted character creates familiar yet contemporary taste experiences.
Coffee offers plenty of room for creative product development. Beyond the classic cup, coffee-inspired profiles can add depth and indulgence to applications ranging from confectionery and desserts to protein shakes and other sports nutrition products. Espresso notes, for example, already fit naturally into both confectionery and sports nutrition concepts - not to mention the combination with non-dairy and dairy alternatives barista stiles.
Recreating an authentic coffee profile requires careful balancing. Roasted and bitter nuances need to work in harmony with sweetness and the characteristic aromatic notes of coffee. Depending on the application, additional ingredients and the production process can make this balance even more complex.
Whether it is a creamy coffee creation, a caramel-coffee combination or a more distinctive espresso profile, our flavour experts make it work and find the right balance for the desired sensory experience.
