I was reading about one coffee roaster who "flushes" the bags with nitrogen to remove oxygen harmful to coffee.
Does anyone know about this process and whether it is cost effective? I would guess it makes sense if the coffee is going to sit on the shelf for a prolonged period of time, but I'm not sure I would make much difference in our case - our customers drink our coffee faster than we can roast it! :wink:
But I'm curious to know what kind of equipment is used in this process and who manufactures it. Are there less volatile alternatives to nitrogen?
