A method and apparatus for producing and dispensing a reconstituted coffee beverage having a thick layer of foamed coffee on its surface, similar in appearance to an espresso coffee beverage. A measured amount of dehy- drated coffee concentrate, such as spray dried instant coffee, and a small amount of cold water are combined, with vigorous agitation in a cooled mixing chamber to form a cold, foamed coffee concentrate. Upon formation of the foamed concentrate, a controlled amount of hot water is introduced into the mixing chamber to dilute the foamed concentrate while substantially retaining the foamed structure to thereby provide a liquid reconsti- tuted coffee fraction of a desired concentration, and a foamed coffee fraction of similar concentration. The resulting beverage is then discharged from the mixing chamber into a cup, with the foamed coffee fraction resting on the surface of the liquid coffee fraction to provide a hot coffee beverage having a thick layer of stable foam on the surface of the beverage. A timer mechanism is provided to sequentially control the in- troduction of dehydrated coffee, cold water and hot wa- ter into the mixing chamber, and the discharge of the reconstituted beverage from the chamber.
