A coffee product derived from roast and ground coffee beans has reduced levels of chlorogenic acid lactones relative to the levels of chlorogenic acids. The product can be prepared by treating a coffee extract with an enzyme so as to hydrolyse at least a portion of the chlorogenic acid lactones present in the extract. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided by contacting a coffee extract with a sorbent or solvent which is suitable for removing apolar components and is at least partially saturated with chlorogenic acid. The product has reduced bitterness.
