The Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of 3 Arabica (Sidamo, Santos, Kalossi) and 3 Robusta coffees (Vietnam, Uganda, Madagascar) with (5-100ml) and without milk addition, prepared as filter brews was determined photometrically by the ABTS-method.

Consumers´ preferences of Santos (Arabica)- and Uganda (Robusta)-coffee with (30ml) and without milk addition were assessed in two sessions by 40 untrained individuals applying the paired difference test.
