[0031] The technical solutions provided by the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] According to the material-liquid ratio of 1:12 (g / mL), 20 g of coffee beans and 240 mL of 4°C Zhenming mineral water were weighed, and the coffee beans were ground into powder with a fineness of 1.5 (particle size of 800 μm). The coffee powder and water were placed in a stirring cup, stirred and extracted at 4°C (stirring speed of 7000 rpm) for 5 hours, and then filtered (filter pore size of 20 μm) to obtain coffee liquid.
[0034] The coffee beans used in Example 1 were Daydream, Opening Note, and Natural Awakening (Daydream, Opening Note, and Natural Awakening were purchased from Yunnan Unknown Philosophy Technology Co., Ltd., respectively). The coffee liquids prepared from different coffee beans were labeled Daydream, Opening Note, and Natural Awakening respectively; the total acid, total sugar, polyphenols, flavonoids, starch, soluble solids, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, trigonelline, protein, fat, amino acids, organic acids, and monosaccharide contents of Daydream, Opening Note, and Natural Awakening coffee liquids were detected (the test method refers to GB12456-2021, GB / T 15672-2009, GB / T 44349-2024, GB / T 20574-2006, GB 5009.9-2016, GB / T 12143-2008, GB 5009.139-2014, GB 5009.5-2025, GB The results are shown in Table 1. The taste of Daydream, Opening Notes, and Natural Awakening coffee liquids was tested using an electronic tongue, and the results are shown in Table 2. The color difference of Daydream, Opening Notes, and Natural Awakening coffee liquids was tested (using a colorimeter), and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0041] Table 1 shows a balance of acidity and flavor. The Opening coffee has the highest total acidity (4.10 g / L), potentially contributing to a brighter acidity, consistent with the results in Table 2. The Natural Awakening coffee has the lowest total acidity (3.33 g / L), resulting in a softer taste, consistent with the low-acidity profile of cold brew coffee. The Natural Awakening coffee has the lowest monosaccharide content (2.62 mg / mL), but significantly higher starch content (110.18 mg / mL), giving the coffee a mellower mouthfeel. Regarding antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Daydream coffee has the highest levels of polyphenols (35.868 mg / mL) and flavonoids (84.321 mg / mL), demonstrating significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. The Natural Awakening coffee also has the highest caffeine content (1.495 mg / mL), suggesting that stirring accelerates caffeine dissolution. The Daydream coffee also has a higher level of trigonelline (0.956 mg / mL), far exceeding the other two coffees (0.031 mg / mL). Amino acids are important flavor compounds in coffee, with the highest concentration in the pre-brew (0.510 mg / mL) and the lowest in the natural brew (0.042 mg / mL). Stirring improves the extraction efficiency of active ingredients like caffeine and polyphenols.
[0042] Table 2 shows a comparison of sourness and saltiness: Opening's sourness and saltiness are significantly higher than the other two, resulting in a more complex flavor profile. Daydream and Natural Awakening have negative sourness and a weaker sourness. Bitterness and Aftertaste: Natural Awakening has the highest bitterness and bitter-aftertaste, directly related to its high caffeine content (1.495 mg / mL). Daydream is second in bitterness, but has the strongest astringency, due to its high polyphenol content, which imparts a longer-lasting astringency. Opening has the lowest bitterness and a lighter overall taste. Astringency and Umami: Daydream and Natural Awakening have significantly higher astringency than Opening's, related to their polyphenol and flavonoid content. Natural Awakening has slightly higher umami, but a neutral umami-aftertaste. Opening's umami-aftertaste is negative, and the umami-aftertaste is absent in the aftertaste. Sweetness and mouthfeel are balanced, with Opening's sweetness being the highest and its saltiness being prominent, creating a unique sweet and salty flavor. Natural Awakening has the lowest sweetness. To sum up, daydreaming: high astringency and strong bitterness; opening remarks: balanced sour, sweet and salty, low bitterness and astringency; waking up naturally: strong bitterness and mellowness.
[0043] As can be seen from Table 3, in terms of brightness (L*), the brightness of the opening espresso is the highest (L*=6.00) and the color is relatively light; the brightness of the natural awakening is the lowest (L*=5.12) and the color is the darkest. The high starch content makes the liquid more turbid and has stronger light absorption. In terms of red and yellow tones (a, b), the a value and b value of the opening espresso are both the highest, indicating that its color tends to be red and yellow, which is caused by the degree of coffee bean roasting and the caramelization reaction of sugars, which is consistent with its high total sugar and sweet and sour flavor characteristics; the a value and b value of the natural awakening are lower, and the color tends to be dark brown or dark brown. The ΔE value of the opening espresso is the highest (10.65), indicating that its color is the most different from the standard color and the natural awakening ΔE is the lowest. The influence of the stirring process on color enhances the red and yellow tones.
