The Valve Coffee Bags Revolution

by John Smith

I need to tell you about valve coffee bags. Why? Well valve coffee bags are really the newest innovation to the coffee bag world. These little wonders do more to protect our coffee then any other bag. How? Its obvious! Its the valve! You see these coffee bags differ from say a paper coffee bag by being air tight. And yes if you know your coffee history at all you might say "But you cant have an air tight coffee bag! The bag will explode. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about let me elaborate. For those of you who do know, skip the next paragraph.

Alright newcomers to the world of valve coffee bags, allow me to do a little song and dance here. Its a show all about a time long ago, actually, it was closer to the 80's and coffee bagging facilities where facing a challenge. What challenge? Well simply but exploding coffee bags. The reason was the carbon dioxide that emanates from freshly roasted coffee. The newly bagged beans were giving on this gas inside the bags. This would cause high pressure and the bags would burst. Roasting facilities decided to let the coffee sit for a day to let the beans air out. Unfortunately, the coffee would then start to decline is goodness. What to do? The roasting and bagging facilities had a delima. In comes a manufacturer called fresco to save the day with what is now known as the valve coffee bag.

Basically the valve on these coffee bags were designed to let the CO2 out of the bags while keep the oxygen out as well. Great idea no? Really. These days most plants use valve coffee bags and so fresco is making a bundle of cash.

But where do you fit into the equation? Well, if you a business owner you may want to consider buying valve coffee bags to store your coffee on the shelves if you buy it in bulk. You may also want to consider selling these bags along side your coffee beans if you sell by the pound. Many people keep valve coffee bags in their homes to keep coffee fresh. Why not offer them a solution right as they buy their coffee.

As we can see the valve coffee bag truly is number one in the coffee bag industry. Its better then paper, better then foil and cannot be compared to burlap ;)

So you can now sleep well at night knowing thats all there really is to know about valve coffee bags.
