The economic importance of coffee is continuously increasing, so that research on coffee becomes more and more important. Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) and caffeine are the best investigated components among all the coffee compounds after Clifford group developed easy identification method by using novel LC-MS n at 2003. They have been identified as the most health-affecting compounds in coffee. A lot of coffee research has investigated the chemical composition of green or roasted coffee beans and the final cups of coffee by academics and industries, respectively. However, still there is little research studying the role of composition changes caused by each individual coffee processes. Furthermore, increasing demands of specialty coffee
