At present, the mainstream packages of coffee in the market are aluminum bags with one-way air valves, vacummized packages, inert gas filled packages and environmentally friendly packages.The aluminum bags with one-way air valves, which are not only inexpensive and simple to make , but also quite effective in fresh-keeping within a short period, are mainly used in packaging fresh roasted coffee. So most of the domestic manufacturers choose this kind of packaging. If the coffee beans are fresh enough (better to be within one month, or within three months at least), then this kind of packaging is a nice choice. The coffee beans packaged in vacuum bags are dubbed as coffee brick which mostly is coffee powder. Because the fresh coffee would continuously release gas by itself in the first two weeks. There should be a aging process for the coffee beans before been treated as vacuum packaging. Therefore, this shows it is hard to preserve the original flavor to vacuumize the package of coffee. And the coffee is degraded to a lower level for staying fresh longer. Inert gas filled packaging is more expensive packaging, inert gas filled make the oxidation process of coffee beans slow down. ILLY just adopted such packaging which could achieve the fine fresh of coffee beans. But another question is that the ones which packaged in such way the oxidation rate would become much faster after being unsealing in my opinion. Most coffee shops produce and market all by themselves. The consumption of coffee is very fast, so they don`t need to worry about sealing quality of packing and can often use paper bags as package. But domestically, the cycle from production to sales, and finally to the consumers is extreme long. So the environmental-friendly packaging can not the mainstream one in China now.
It is a misunderstanding that the coffee beans are the bigger the better. For a single kind of coffee beans which are not blended or mixed with others, those fine-sized are always our first choice. Of course some few breeds, except for Ethiopic coffee beans, because of the influence of local productive technology and product standards, those parts of the coffee beans is of different sizes in itself.
It is the same as the type of bean,for the bean which is not matched , the colour of bean is more balance that is better. If the color of coffee beans is of different shades, there are several possibilities. Firstly, the green beans adopted are aged ones. So it coursed the water content unevenly. Secondly, the coffee beans are blended by the business which are not of the pure variety ones. dewatering time was not long enough during the roasting process; Or perhaps the green coffee beans are low in grade. No matter which reason it is, it is all bad to the quality of the coffee bean.
