Abstract
A beverage system for providing a coffee beverage is described which contains a coffee base concentrate and an aromatized soluble coffee creamer. The coffee base concentrate has a soluble coffee solids concentration of at least about 10% by weight and is free of coffee aroma. The coffee base concentrate and the aromatized soluble coffee aroma are stored separately and are combined upon reconstitution for providing a coffee beverage. Separate storage of the coffee base concentrate and the aromatized soluble coffee creamer increases the stability of the system and provides a coffee beverage which closely assimilates a freshly brewed coffee drinks such as latte macchiato and cappuccino.
