Abstract
A novel roasted and ground coffee product having a unique appearance is produced by roasting a first coffee fraction to a first roast color and water quenching said roasted beans to a relatively high moisture level, separately roasting a second coffee fraction to a second, discernibly different roast color and water quenching said roasted beans to a relatively low moisture level. The two roasted coffee bean fractions are then blended together and ground, producing a coffee product having a speckled appearance wherein the average particle size of the high-moisture fraction is at least 300 microns larger than the average particle size of the low-moisture fraction.
