More Information
Summary:A system and method for packaging coffee is presented. Coffee is packaged in an oxygen-free environment to eliminate or minimize the presence of oxygen in the package. Coffee that is packaged according to the system and method presented herein produces coffee drinks that are more flavorful than coffee that is vacuum-packed after already having been exposed to oxygen. The oxygen-free environment may be created by an atmospheric isolation chamber having an inlet and an outlet, a mechanism configured to maintain oxygen level in the chamber at below a predefined level, and a coffee packaging tool inside the isolation chamber.
