Abstract: A coffee package having a coffee product having a reduced density; a usage indicia associated therewith the coffee package; and a principle indicia having associated therewith the package.

Abstract: A method of displaying an array of coffee products to a consumer having the following steps: a. providing a first coffee package having a first coffee product having a first density, a first usage indicia associated therewith the first coffee package, and first package principle indicia having associated therewith the first package; b. providing a second coffee package having a second coffee product having a second density, a second usage indicia associated therewith the second coffee package; and a second package principle indicia having associated therewith the second package; c. shelving the first and second coffee package such that both first and second coffee package and the first and second usage indicia are observable by the consumer; The first density of the first coffee package and the second density of the second coffee package can be different.

Abstract: A coffee package having a coffee product having a compact density; a usage indicia associated therewith the coffee package; and a principle indicia having associated therewith the package.

Abstract: This invention provides a novel coffee blend and a process for making said novel coffee. This novel coffee contains both a “faster-roast fraction” and a “slower-roast fraction”. The “faster-roast fraction” contributes no less than 20% and no more than 80% to the 100% coffee blend, preferably no less than 30% and no more than 70% to the coffee blend, and more preferably, no less than 40% and no more than 60% to the coffee blend. Similarly, the “slower-roast fraction” contributes no less than 20% and no more than 80% to the 100% coffee blend, preferably no less than 30% and no more than 70% of the coffee blend, and more preferably, no less than 40% and no more than 60% of the coffee blend. Any 100% coffee blend where the “faster-roast fraction” and the “slower-roast fraction” in combination contribute a minimum of 70% of the 100% total is covered herein.

Abstract: Roast and ground or flaked coffee products which provide more brew strength and cup color at lower levels of brews solids. These coffee products include darker fasted roasted coffee that is predominantly high acidity-type coffee that provide, when brewed appropriate conditions, a consumable coffee beverage having:(1) a brew solids level of from about 0.4 to about 0.6%;(2) a Titratable Acidity of at least about 1.52;(3) a brew absorbance of at least about 1.25, provided that when the Titratable Acidity is in the range of from about 1.52 to about 2.0, the brew absorbance is equal to or greater than the value defined by the equation:1.25+?0.625.times.(2.0-TA)!where TA is the Titratable Acidity.
