Abstract: A method and apparatus provides a coffee beverage having a reduced terpene content, in which terpene content is reduced by increasing the particle size of the coffee grounds.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides a coffee beverage having a reduced terpene content, where a brew chamber has a brew area A is provided and a volume of water is provided to flow through the coffee grounds in the brew chamber and out of the brew chamber to provide a coffee beverage, and where the flow rate of water provided through coffee grounds in the brew chamber is F and the ratio of F/A is about 0.15 cm/s or less.

Abstract: A breast pump (100) is provided comprising a vacuum pump (120) which is configured to be operated at different vacuum profile settings, a controller (140) configured to control an operation of the vacuum pump (120) based on the different vacuum profile settings, and a breast fullness estimator (150) configured to estimate a fullness of a breast based on a duration of a milk expression session. The controller (140) is configured to select a vacuum profile setting based on the breast fullness estimation of the breast fullness estimator (150). Hence, the efficiency of the breast pump is increased as the operation of the vacuum pump is adapted to the estimated breast fullness.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of selecting the suitability of a lighting device (100) for use in cheese lighting, the method comprising (a) defining a normalization factor (k) for a spectral power distribution (SPD(?)) of lighting device light (101) of said lighting device (100) in a wavelength range of 380-780 nm, (b) defining the lighting device (100) suitable for use in cheese lighting when a cheese damage function value (CDFV) is equal to or below 2, wherein the cheese damage function value (CDFV) is defined as: (I) wherein: (II) wherein y (?) is a 2-degree color matching function, and wherein DF(?)=1 for 380 nm??<410, and wherein for 410???780: (III). CDFV = k × ? ? ? SPD ? ( ? ) · DF ? ( ? ) · ?? ( I ) k = 100 ? ? ? SPD ? ( ? ) · y _ ? ( ? ) · ?? ( II ) DF ? ( ? ) = 0.95 × e - ( ? - 410 22 ) 2 + 0.

Abstract: A coffee machine (1) for providing coffee brew with reduced caffeine content is disclosed. The coffee machine (1) comprises a mixer (8) for mixing coffee grind (19) and a caffeine-reducing additive (20), the mixer having a coffee inlet (14) for receiving the coffee grind (19), an additive inlet (18) for receiving the caffeine-reducing additive (20), and a mixer outlet (21) for providing a mixture (22) of coffee grind and additive, and a brewing unit (5) for brewing the mixture (22) of coffee grind and additive, the brewing unit (5) having a brewing unit inlet (23) and a brewing unit outlet (24) for providing coffee brew, wherein the brewing unit inlet (23) of the brewing unit (5) is connected to the mixer outlet (21) of the mixer (8) for receiving the mixture (22) of coffee grind and additive. Furthermore, a corresponding method and a replaceable cartridge containing a caffeine-reducing additive are presented.

Abstract: In a method for grinding coffee beans (5), the beans (5) are ground off bit by bit by applying a device (1) comprising two tools (20; 40, 42), wherein one of the tools (20; 40, 42) is a grinding tool (20) having an abrasive surface (21), wherein the beans (5) and the abrasive surface (21) are made to contact each other and to perform a relative movement with respect to each other, and wherein another of the tools (20; 40, 42) is a bean delimiting tool (40, 42) having a surface (44) against which the beans (5) are retained during the time that they are in contact with the abrasive surface (21). By grinding off coffee beans (5) instead of crushing coffee beans (5) in a conventional manner, it is achieved that the grinding process can be performed at a relatively high speed and a relatively low torque.
