Abstract
Abstract In a process for split-extraction percolation of roasted and ground coffee it has been discovered that by rapidly draining, or blowing out the extraction liquor form the fresh stage extraction column, a coffee extract of improved quality is obtained. Also, it has been discovered that if the secondary extract form the autoclave section is contacted with fresh-roasted and ground coffee, the quality of the secondary extract is upgraded. The preceding steps in combination is a preferred method of practicing split-extraction percolation.
