Processes for forming freeze-dried and spray-dried soluble coffee products comprise the steps of forming a concentrated coffee extract 20; foaming the concentrated coffee extract 21; and drying the ground coffee intermediate 24. Prior to the drying step, a milled and blended coffee intermediate 30 is incorporated into the concentrated coffee extract. The milled and blended coffee intermediate comprises 10 to 70% dry weight roasted coffee and 30 to 90% dry weight soluble coffee. The drying step is carried out by either freeze-drying or spray-drying.
