Anyone who has appreciated the quick and easy handling of CAFEA bottles from Cafeahaus AG need not to worry that Cafea liquid coffee is no longer produced. Instead, one can look forward to a product from company Deutsche Extrakt Kaffee GmbH (DEK) Hamburg.
The company produces liquid coffee extracts in Bag in Box packs (BiB). These are about twice as concentrated as CAFEA coffee and therefore much more productive. In addition, the AROMAT concentrates are also available unfrozen, which gives them a handling advantage over the frozen CAFEA coffee.
The coffee extracts are manufactured and processed in a specialist manufacturing plant in Germany. The green coffee beans are cleaned and gently roasted to perfection, complying with the German Coffee Ordinances. The liquid coffee extracts are aseptically filled so that aroma, flavour and high quality are particularly well preserved in BiB. These are provided with a user-friendly CMB connector and are available in different types.
The coffee is produced by mixing high-quality extracts with water in the correct ratio in order to ensure consistently good quality of black coffee.
Manufacturers recommended mixing ratios: 1:20 up to 1:30, as a ratio of coffee concentrate to water, one part of coffee concentrate to 20 or up to 30 parts of water. So, a BiB from 2 litres produces about 42 to 62 litres of coffee. Depending on the desired strength, the amount of water can be reduced to 1:20. For slight coffee, the ratio can be 1:30 or higher, if desired.
The liquid coffee extracts are devised for use in coffee machines from Kaffee-Konzepte. However, they are also suitable for "manual use" without a machine. For this purpose, a BiB must be provided with a spout (CMB adapter). Depending on the dosage, the appropriate amount of concentrate is filled, mixed with hot water and filled into thermos flasks, iced coffee accordingly with cold water.
