Posted by Davec on 2007-07-08 15:08:58 Post Subject: Re: Packaging Coffee
I'm due to start a small coffee roasting operation in which I'll be roasting, grinding then selling coffe to friends and family . Does anyone know of a method in which i can airtightly package coffee? How do you roasters do it?
Oh yes, the mighty one way valve bag, for those unground beans, and for ground beans a bag without a valve may be more suitable (assuming there is not too much gas left in the beans).
The PTE Foil coffee bags are not cheap, but the constant heat sealers required are very expensive, luckily they are not required....see link below
http://coffeetime.wikidot.com/coffee-po ... substitute
And if I was honest and someone offered me a foot operated constant heat sealer......I wouldn't bother, these are much faster and easier for a small family and friends operation.
Good luck with it.

Whole bean coffee should stay fresh for at least 3 weeks. Just make sure that the store you buy from always has fresh product, and only buy what you will use within a week or two. As for how to store it, an air tight container works great. I keep my coffee in the tin tie coffee bags provided at the coffee house, and store it right beside my french press.

I love the look, very simple yet stylish...and I love the coffee cup. I would have to agree with Todd, tho. Also, you may find that the overall shape, being wide, could be problematic if you ever want to print labels (say, for use on coffee bags) with your logo. Labels are more of rectangular shape. The logo would have to be small priint in order to fit.
Just my thoughts.

Posted by Davec on 2008-01-10 02:48:57 Post Subject:
Try and visit a roaster near to you and see what equipment they are using, remember that any roaster needs to be maintained and will need parts. If your not prepared to do this maintenance yourself, you will need to pay to have it done. So parts and engineer availability at reasonable prices will be important.
depending on quantity and laws, you may have to budget for a
Bulk Loader
Destomer
Afterburner
In addition to all the other equipment you will need at the roasters, such as scales, heat sealer for coffee bags, proper storage racking etc..In some respects the roaster is almost the simplest part of the purchase.
In general with roasting, it's often a good idea to size a roaster for 1-2 days roasting per week (to roast your weekly coffee needs)...if the roaster is too small, you will be stuck in front of it 9 hourse per day 7 days per week and that is not cost effective. If the roaster is too large, iot's also a problem.
If in future years you find you need more roasting capacity, you can roast an extra day and/or buy a second roaster. this way you can take one roaster down for maintenance or if one breaks, it doesn't stop your business.

Posted by PinkRose on 2008-07-23 08:47:21 Post Subject:
Hello stoneisman
About five years ago when I was working at a place that didn't provide coffee of any kind, I found a nice little item that really helped me avoid resorting to instant coffee. It's the small Black and Decker Cup at a Time coffee maker. It's great because you can use your own ground coffee and brew one cup at a time right at your desk. Although it comes with a filter basket, I used small paper coffee filters and I just tossed the wet grounds without making a mess.
This is the link to it at Amazon. com
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-DCM7 ... 866&sr=8-2
I also tried several kinds of the pre-packaged coffee bags (like Folgers, etc.) that get dunked into a cup of hot water like tea bags. The coffee always turned out tasting harsh and bitter.
Can you make a suggestion at work and see if they can change the coffee that they provide for the staff? Maybe it's the brand or the type of coffee maker that's causing the terrible coffee.
I hope you can find something that can help you get through your day. There is nothing worse than having to drink unbearable tasting coffee.

View entire thread: Starting a coffee related export business... Out of Asia
Posted by mr he on 2004-10-06 06:18:40 Post Subject: Starting a coffee related export business... Out of Asia
Hello everybody
I am new to this forum, and hope that this will be the start of a long posting career. Currently working out of Taiwan, where I have lived for a few years.
I started out in the coffee industry some 18 months ago, joining a small taiwanese upstart wanting to market a commercial espresso machine globally. While promoting this, I from time to time got asked about other items, with coffee bags and laminate roll stock popping up quite often.
As the sales of the espresso machine failed to take off, my mindset got increasingly set on finding a good range of coffee related products I could market to western customers in Taiwan. I decided to start with coffee bags and roll stock, as many of those are made in Taiwan already and sold thru US trading companies.
After a short search, I managed to locate some good coffeebag and laminate foil producers, who were interested in cooperating with me and who had a record of producing to international markets.
My competitive advantages are that I am close to the producers, which mean that QC is easy, and so is it to get decent pricing out of them. The disadvantages are that I am a bit far from my customers, and well, it's hard to mae a sales call when you are 10,000 miles away. Also, I am relatively new, and my network is not very strong yet.
I focus on mid size roasters and above. Everything I do is custom made and printed, with even the sizes of the bags as requested by the customer.
I started out in May, and have seen the first orders go out to Australia, with near term also seeing a European roaster ordering.
However, the US market has been somewhat harder to get into, and I would like to hear what kinds of ideas for marketing my advantages, the fellow members of this forum have.
So, what I hope I can get a bit of advice on is:
1. Traditional email shots don't really work anymore. You end up in the spam folder, no matter how personal you make the email.
2. Confidence is a problem. People are used to buy from their usual suppliers, and I need a way to teach people that ordering directly from abroad is safe, it's cheaper, and you get a product more closely tailored to your needs.
Any opinions are welcome.
(Oh, I have not posted a link to my web site here - after all I ask for advice, I am not solicting business on this board).

View entire thread: Storage? In bag and once opened?
Posted by Comet on 2008-04-11 11:57:41 Post Subject: Storage? In bag and once opened?
6 months ago I bought a Reynolds Handi-Vac (a small, battery operated vacuum pump), it came with some freezer bags with a small button similar to what you find on coffee bags. I not only use it for freezing meat but it will also turn a one pound bag of coffee into a rock hard vacuum packed bag of coffee. After I remove all the air from the coffee bag I check the next day to make sure the vacuum has held, if not I put the coffee in one of the freezer bags. Since I usually buy coffee in 40 oz. bags I can open a bag, pour half into an air tight container and put the rest in one of the Reynolds vacuum bags.
I don't know how long it will keep coffee fresh but it's got to be better than the coffee sitting in a bag with air in it. I have a one pound bag of coffee that I " VACed" in January, it's still rock hard and I assume it will be fresh when I open it!
Hope this helps!

Do any of you roasters use any enviromentally friendly packaging. In Europe we just seem to have 2 options.
1) Foil with poly-laminate
2) Craft paper with wax lining.
The problem is that there is no "between". What can l use that can be recycled. At the moment by my reconing l will be composted (after being buried, hopefully) long before any of my coffee bags have de-graded.

We just spent in the upwards of $40,000 to purchase the machinery to weigh, fill, pack and seal our coffee.
Bags are cheap!, getting the coffee into them isn't. If you are planning on doing it manually there are a number of companies that can provide you with what you need. Try "Pacific Bag" , a quick google search will bring them right up. I've used them in the past.

Posted by espressomaniac on 2004-10-18 08:31:39 Post Subject: sock coffee
Wow, I guess it WAS 10 years ago now!
.... They were extremely popular among University students when they came out.
Funnily, I was a university student at the time - actually, I think it was about THIRTEEN years ago when I started uni and my mum packed me off with a bunch of supplies to keep me going...
It was a thoughtful present but too expensive for me to keep up (I lived quite frugally and made it though my studies without incurring any debt!). I can't recall exactly what I did do for coffee (there might be a repressed memory of the cheapest coffee powder drifting around in there) but I certainly got into the habit of getting several goes out teabags....
Fast foward to the present and I'm quite happy for coffee bags to remain an experience in my past
Wulf
I too was living in the days of extreem budget, the last painful memory was of "sock coffee" where you'd take the grinds and put it into a sock and throw it in some hot water, thus the invention of "sock coffee" to be honest, execept for being able to wash the sock and use it again, it seemed to be the same as the pods, or coffee bags of yesteryear. Needless to say, it's something you use in extreem cases.
They are cleaner, and in fact, I was officially booted from the kitchen to make coffee because of the mess, so I see where that point is valid, and pretty much the only one that could justify someone going to pod route. I've built a home espresso cart line to address that as well for others that don't mind the mess but need their true espresso

Wow, I guess it WAS 10 years ago now!
.... They were extremely popular among University students when they came out.Funnily, I was a university student at the time - actually, I think it was about THIRTEEN years ago when I started uni and my mum packed me off with a bunch of supplies to keep me going...
It was a thoughtful present but too expensive for me to keep up (I lived quite frugally and made it though my studies without incurring any debt!). I can't recall exactly what I did do for coffee (there might be a repressed memory of the cheapest coffee powder drifting around in there) but I certainly got into the habit of getting several goes out teabags....
Fast foward to the present and I'm quite happy for coffee bags to remain an experience in my past

I too was living in the days of extreem budget, the last painful memory was of "sock coffee" where you'd take the grinds and put it into a sock and throw it in some hot water, thus the invention of "sock coffee" to be honest, execept for being able to wash the sock and use it again, it seemed to be the same as the pods, or coffee bags of yesteryear. Needless to say, it's something you use in extreem cases.
They are cleaner, and in fact, I was officially booted from the kitchen to make coffee because of the mess, so I see where that point is valid, and pretty much the only one that could justify someone going to pod route. I've built a home espresso cart line to address that as well for others that don't mind the mess but need their true espresso

Posted by sipper on 2006-12-04 19:02:10 Post Subject: Who is this Seattle Coffee Direct?
OK, my mistake! They do have a website; the one you just posted. Like one of the previous complainants, I too stumbled upon this company through one of those online "surveys" - I can't believe I actually wasted my time to complete one of those - all for a "free Gillette razor" if you can believe it. I don't think I ever even qualified to receive the razor after all - how pathetic is that?!
Update: I called this company last night and left a message. I told them that I keep receiving product which I did not order, and that I have discovered several complaints about their fraudulent business practices online. I then told them: 1) stop sending me coffee; 2) I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau; 3) they must refund my money once I send them the 2nd and 3rd unopened pkgs; 4) I will be calling my bank Mon. morning to inform them of the situation and to instruct them to block any more payment that this company requests; and 5) please call me back to let me know that they will be complying with my directives, as I would rather settle this matter with them than to have to pursue further action. (I was very firm throughout the message; I included "please" at the end in hopes that they would not stiff me further just to be more treacherous!)
Today I phoned the bank. Luckily, they only tracked payment for the introductory offer, and none for the 2 extra pkgs. They did say however that because I had authorized the company to use my card (a debit card!!! That's trouble!), they could not block any outgoing payments. But they told me this: I need to call the company again and tell them that they are Unauthorized to use my card # for any purchases or further transactions. They said too, to take down the name of the representative, and to note everything they said. Then, after this conversation, if they did in fact use my card # to get paid for more, I could contact the police, and that the bank would help me with some other steps. The magic words, they told me, are "this company is UNAUTHORIZED to use this card # for any purchases or transactions."
I called right away and used that script. The rep was NOT pleasant, but was not outright rude or obnoxious either. After I told her these things she said, "Yes, I do remember your voice message from this morning. We did close your account..." She claims that if I send the 2nd and 3rd pkgs back that they will refund the $. I told her I sure hope so because I'd read online from others that they had made such a promise before but had not followed through. She did not say much, just that, again, if I return the unopened pkgs they would refund my $. I told her that I will do so, and I will be watching my account to be sure that they follow through.
Everyone at work today told me I should call one of those local news stations that investigates scams like this. Not a bad idea - I wonder if others have tried that? The way it looks now, I somehow was not yet billed for some of this merchandise, BUT I still got ripped on that Intro. deal - paid $25 over. (I told the girl on the phone this too. She said nothing.) I told her I'm just going to sacrifice that $34 for the 2 coffee bags and the grinder, just to be done with it. I haven't opened the coffee yet, but have used the grinder.

Posted by Guatemalan Select on 2008-06-10 13:45:39 Post Subject: pricing
I agree. As I sat and talked with my friend from El Salvador it really became apparent that the price of the coffee by the time it hits the consumer has no rhyme, reason, or relation to the bided price. It seems to be pure economics and what they ( the promotion managers) can get by with. The most important consideration in price setting/marketing coffee appears to be publicity, then the bean.
I am just starting my export business to the U.S. and I think as the gas/transport increases bean prices will have to show more competition to keep satisfying and secure their position in restaurants, convenience stores, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.
Jon
P.S. does anyone know of a good supplier of 2 ounce coffee bags with optional printing.

You could also use the PTE Foil one way valve bags and simply heat seal them. They have a very nice appearance and the coffee keeps well.
You also don't need an expensive heat sealer for the bags, in fact there is an inexpensive solution that worked better (especially for the 250g bags) than the 400 foot operated sealer I have used.
http://coffeetime.wikidot.com/coffee-po ... substitute
I still have the original unit and it has sealed over 1200 foil coffee bags with no problem at all.....sealing time for a definite good seal is 8-10 seconds per bag. The seal is so strong you can't pull it apart.

We normally ship the next day after ordering. Monin, Coffee & Sauces. We will work with you on the house blends and type of roasts too.
