In this study, physical and chemical parameters of chosen roasted and instant coffees were determined. Assessment of specific sensory properties was also carried out for the researched coffees by a selected group of respondents, and an assessment of general sensory quality of these coffees by a group of experts. Interdependencies between the sensory quality of coffee as assessed by experts and the physical and chemical parameters of assessed roasted and instant coffees were defined. Obtained results of the consumer and expert assessment were statistically analyzed by usage of suitable procedures of the Statistica 5.0 software.
