Relationships between volatile and nonvolatile compounds and the antioxidant capacity of coffeebrews prepared from commercial conventional and torrefacto roasted coffees, employing commonlyused doses and prepared by four brewing procedures (filter, plunger, mocha, and espresso machine)were assessed. Significant correlations between volatile Maillard reaction products and antioxidantcapacity (measured by both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and redox potential methods) werenot observed. Highly positive correlations between browned compounds and caffeine with bothantioxidant capacity parameters were reported. Principal component analysis allowed coffee brewsseparation according to coffee roasting processes (PC1) and brewing procedures (PC2), showingthat in all cases coffee brews from torrefacto roasted coffee were more antioxidant that those extractedfrom conventional ones; also, coffee brews extracted by an espresso machine were more antioxidantthan those extracted by mocha, plunger, and filter machines.
