Why are some coffee packages puffed up ?
Once the coffee is packaged, a dose of nitrogen is added to protect the coffees from oxidation, and to ensure efficient preservation. However, the carbon dioxide which is released from the beans during roasting will continue to be released in the bag. It is then the degassing valve (one-way) that will allow the carbon dioxide to escape, blocking the entry of oxygen.
What is the "little button" on coffee packages?
This is a so-called "one-way" degassing valve that allows the coffee gas (once roasted) to exit the packet of coffee, blocking the entry of oxygen. The degassing valve keeps the coffee, aromas and taste in the long term.
