Nitrogen flushing and MAP
How nitrogen flushing and Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) are used to preserve roasted coffee freshness by controlling oxygen exposure.
Packaging, storage & freshness
Freezer storage best practices
How to properly freeze coffee to extend freshness, avoid moisture damage, and maintain flavor integrity.
Whole bean vs ground stability
Why whole beans stay fresher longer than ground coffee, and how particle size impacts oxidation, aroma loss, and shelf life.
Light, oxygen, and heat control
How light, oxygen, and heat accelerate staling in roasted coffee, and best practices for controlling these factors in storage and packaging.
One-way valves and sealing
The role of one-way valves and proper sealing in coffee packaging, ensuring freshness by balancing degassing with oxygen protection.
Degassing and CO2 curves
How roasted coffee degasses CO₂ over time, why it matters for freshness, and how to manage storage and brewing around degassing curves.
