Coffee is among the most consumed beverages in Europe and North America. Ochratoxin A contamination of the coffee beans and hence of the coffee baked could be relevant. The different ways of preparation of this drink have been tested for ochratoxin A content and the possible influence of the preparation methods has been tested and compared.
