Anyone consuming third-wave coffee beans? For those unfamiliar with the product, it typically moves around in 1kg air-tight bags [packed in a vacuum, or flushed with non-oxygen gas]. Once you pop an air-seal, the product decays by the hour.
Anyone using [a zero-waste packaging system for roasted coffee] AND [buying batches of coffee in 10kg volumes]?
So far here are the options I've determined:
- get giant 40 litre air-tight containers for each batch: coffee will stale fast
- get a dozen 2 litre air-tight containers: you end up with a lot of glass mason jars or metal cans lying around
Remaining concerns: vacuum packing machines upstream need to be remodelled to accommodate special storage containers.
Update: glass has been ruled out for light contamination. So it's definitely metal [or plastic boxes] with rubber gaskets, and that means the product needs to have replaceable gaskets. So far I think there's space on the market for a new product, because no one's attacking it :)
1. metal box (1.5-2litre volume?)
2. stackable shape
3. rubber feet
4. rubber gasket
5. replaceable parts
6. vacuum sealing machine. lol
7. Customised quick wash dock.
8. Customised quick dry dock.
