The invention relates to a process for preparing soluble coffee with an infusion quality similar to that of roast bean coffee, with which instant-typical off-flavour characters are no longer detectable, with which ground roast coffee of a particle size of at most approximately 1.8 mm is treated in a percolator with saturated steam in order to separate essential aroma constituents and the separated aroma constituents obtained as condensate, the remaining roast coffee is subjected at high pressure with extraction water to a primary extraction with the aid of at least 2 percolators, the portion evaporated through pressure-relief is condensed and obtained as further aroma condensate, and the non-evaporated portion placed in interim storage as primary extract, the remaining roast coffee is then subjected at high pressure and increased temperature to a secondary extraction in at least 2 percolators, the portion of the extract evaporated through pressure-relief is separated and discarded, and the non-evaporated portion obtained as secondary portion and optionally divided into a first portion and a second portion, the remaining roast coffee optionally subjected to a tertiary extraction at high pressure and increased temperatures in at least 2 percolators, the portion evaporated through pressure-relief is discarded and the non-evaporated portion obtained as tertiary extract, the second portion of the secondary extract and the tertiary extract, optionally after being combined, optionally extracted with liquid or supercritical CO2 at a high pressure, the extracted portion discarded and the remaining extract obtained, the various extracts condensed in multi-stage evaporators, combined and mixed with the two aroma condensates, and the finally obtained extract with a solids concentration of approximately 35 to 55% freeze- or spray-dried in the usual way, the percolators used having a length/diameter ratio of approximately 3.2:1 to 0.9:1.

A process for multi-stage extraction of ground roast coffee in which a soluble coffee is provided in an economically acceptable yield, having the original aroma of the starting roast coffee, and wherein off-flavours arising from the hydrolysis process are not longer present thus giving the soluble coffee a roast bean coffee quality which comprises the following stages: (a) ground roast coffee of a particle size of at most approximately 1.8 mm, which has been moistened to a water content of approximately 4 to 70 wt %, relative to the ground dry roast coffee, is treated in a percolator with a length/diameter ratio of approximately 3.2:1 to 0.9:1 with saturated steam at a pressure of approximately 0.1 to 1 bar and a temperature of approximately 30°to 100°C. for approximately 2 to 40 minutes, the steam loaded with coffee constituents is condensed at a temperature of approximately 0°to 15°C. to a condensate quantity of approximately 3 to 20 wt %, relative to the quantity of dry roast coffee used, and the condensate is obtained as aroma “a”, (b) the coffee remaining from stage (a), freed from aroma “a”, is subjected with extraction water to a primary extraction in a quantity of approximately 2 to 6 parts by weight per part by weight of dry starting roast coffee, at a temperature of approximately 20°to 150°C. and a pressure of approximately 5 to 100 bar with the aid of at least 2 percolators with a length/diameter ratio of approximately 3.2:1 to 0.9:1 for approximately 2 to 40 minutes per percolator and for an overall time of approximately 10 to 200 minutes, followed by pressure-relief to approximately 0.001 to 1 bar, the evaporated portion obtained by spontaneous partial evaporation of the extract is condensed at a temperature of approximately 0°to 15°C. and the condensate is obtained as aroma “b”and the non-evaporated portion as primary extract; (c) the coffee remaining from stage (b), freed from aroma “b”and from primary extract, is subjected with extraction water to a secondary extraction in a quantity of approximately 2 to 6 parts by weight per part by weight of dry starting roast coffee at a higher temperature than in stage (b) within a range of approximately 100°to 215°C. and at a pressure of approximately 5 to 100 bar with the aid of at least 2 percolators with a length/diameter ratio of approximately 3.2:1 to 0.9:1 for approximately 2 to 40 minutes per percolator and for an overall time of approximately 10 to 200 minutes, followed by pressure-relief to approximately 0.01 to 2 bar, the evaporated portion obtained by spontaneous partial evaporation of the extract is discarded, the non-evaporated portion is obtained as secondary extract; and (d) the extracts are concentrated, combined, mixed with aromas “a”and “b”, and the obtained extract which has a concentration of about 35 to 55% is dried.
