By choosing the right materials and features, you can not only preserve the coffee&#8217;s freshness but guide your customers toward the experience you would like them to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"material\"><strong>Materials + Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally speaking, while compostable packing is better for the planet, it does not preserve coffee&#8217;s freshness as well as aluminum foil-lined coffee bags. With technological advancements, and the need to make compostable packaging better at maintaining coffee freshness, we are optimistic that compostable packaging will be comparable to aluminum foil-lined coffee bags in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about coffee freshness, check out this video from Dr. Samo Smrke from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LhsLtIIxNTo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LhsLtIIxNTo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\">How should I recommend storing roasted coffee to my customers? Should I store my roasted coffee in the freezer?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, storing well-sealed roasted coffee in colder temperatures, like a freezer, will slow down the chemical reactions that stale coffee. There are many articles written saying that storing your coffee in the freezer will encourage the formation of water crystals on the coffee. However, current research suggests that there is not enough water in roasted coffee to form water crystals, and as long as the coffee bag is sealed well, whether you freeze slow or fast, placing your packaged coffee into a colder environment will keep it fresher for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about coffee freshness, check out this video from Dr. Samo Smrke from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LhsLtIIxNTo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LhsLtIIxNTo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7876e0;font-size:12px\"> <strong><a href=\"#top\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"packaging\"><strong>Packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every roaster has their own method for choosing bags and packaging materials.

After you have roasted, you can bag your coffee immediately, but you will need to allow the freshly roasted coffee to degas for 3-5 days before serving. Your coffee will be able to degas in a sealed bag or a lidded container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you roast coffee, gases like carbon dioxide, form inside the bean. These gases escape from the freshly roasted coffee after roasting and, particularly for the first couple of days after roasting, interfere with the flavor and extraction. Don\u2019t worry, carbon dioxide in your beans isn\u2019t a bad thing: it has an important role in coffee quality, as an indicator of freshness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend serving within three weeks of roasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Can I bag my coffee immediately after roasting it?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can. After you have roasted, you can bag your coffee immediately, but you will need to allow the freshly roasted coffee to degas for 3-5 days before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>How do I keep track of my coffee bags and labels?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to clearly mark your roasts. Make sure to include both the type of coffee and the roast date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Can I say or label that I am serving or selling organic coffee if I am not a certified organic facility?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Great question! It would be best if you kept up to date on current rules and regulations by following the guidelines set forth by the USDA. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/media\/blog\/2012\/03\/22\/organic-101-what-usda-organic-label-means\" target=\"_blank\">Here\u2019s a great place to read more<\/a>.<br><br>For the roasted coffee to be labeled certified organic, the coffee needs to be roasted and handled in a certified organic facility. This often includes a completely separate roaster, packaging, etc., dedicated to organic coffee production. Because&nbsp;of this, we often do not list it on the description even though there are often coffees in the marketplace that are certified organic. For organically certified coffees, you can say &#8220;organically grown,&#8221; but the packaging cannot stay &#8220;certified organic&#8221; or use the USDA organic seal.<br><br>Another thing to note is that if you purchased a marketplace coffee in boxes, it is no longer considered organic. However, anything in full bags will still be considered organic since it has not been broken down and processed. As a roaster, though, you technically need to be certified by a certifying body to sell the product as organic certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Are there any federal guidelines for packaging coffee?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<strong> <\/strong>Beverage and food labeling requires producers to follow strict regulations. Luckily for coffee manufacturers who produce and sell 100% pure coffee, they are exempt from the complex nutrition labeling process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a link to an article that has a little more information about this: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foodpackaginglabels.net\/coffee-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.foodpackaginglabels.net\/coffee-labels\/<\/a>. To learn more about coffee labeling and packaging visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/scripts\/cdrh\/cfdocs\/cfcfr\/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.9\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/scripts\/cdrh\/cfdocs\/cfcfr\/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.9\">FDA.gov<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Do I need to think about Barcodes?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcoding is required if you are considering selling to a grocery store or similar business. UPC codes are unique to every product on earth, and they are all controlled by a central registry of codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people will &#8216;resell&#8217; their unused barcodes for a discount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/buyabarcode.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buyabarcode.com<\/a>, which will sell distinct, never used UPC codes that are guaranteed to work at multiple retailers. You can print them from your home or office printer onto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelabels.com\/products\/ol5400wx?qty=100&amp;src=mp-1&amp;utm_source=googleproductsearch&amp;utm_medium=productsearch&amp;utm_term=ol5400wx&amp;utm_content=100sheets&amp;utm_campaign=productsearch&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlbmf1Oe96QIVExLnCh0ZoQNcEAQYASABEgKprvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">label paper<\/a> that can be purchased from an office supply store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every type of coffee will need its own UPC code. For example, if you have two blends and two single origins, you&#8217;ll need 4 UPC codes. Each bag will need a sticker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, this is only in the event you want to sell to grocery stores or a similar business that requires it. Cafes and other retailers won&#8217;t require it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7876e0;font-size:12px\"> <strong><a href=\"#top\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"sealing\"><strong>Bag Sealing\/Impulse Sealer Recommendations + FAQs <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you start to bag your own coffee for retail, you will need a sealer to seal the bags.&nbsp; A tabletop hand-operated bag sealer works perfectly well. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00L2N5X38\/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1\">8-inch hand-operated impulse sealer<\/a> is a great tool to help get you started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you require a sealer that can handle a little more volume and is a little faster, here are a few options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorbentsystems.com\/footsealer.html\"><strong>IMPAK Foot-Operated Impulse Sealers<\/strong><\/a><strong> $205-265<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00L2N5X38\/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1\"><strong>Metronic 12 Inch Impulse Sealer <\/strong><\/a><strong>$62<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybinding.com\/sealersales-wns-200d-8-table-top-direct-heat-sealer-w-ptfe-coated-meshed-seal.html\"><strong>Sealer Sales WNS-200D Table Top Direct Heat Sealer <\/strong><\/a><strong>$559<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-normal-font-size\"><strong>What\u2019s the best setting to use on the heat-sealer provided in the bagging kit?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We always recommend following the instructions included with the heat sealer you received. In our experience, setting the dial on the heat-sealer to 6 works best. Seal the bag by placing it into the heat sealer and pressing down and holding for 3 seconds. If dial number 6 does quite seal your bag, turn the dial to 7 and try again.

Please note, making sure you are filling your bags with advertised weight on your packaging is required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few suggestions of scales that are suitable for weighing your roasted coffee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Accuteck-ShipPro-Digital-Shipping-W-8580-110-Black\/dp\/B00KYA0RC2\/ref=pd_cp_229_2\/136-3558011-5850621?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B00KYA0RC2&amp;pd_rd_r=eaf50018-f871-4ae1-8bc0-1a037e9580e2&amp;pd_rd_w=Cs4RT&amp;pd_rd_wg=99RVC&amp;pf_rd_p=592dc715-8438-4207-b7fa-4c7afdeb6112&amp;pf_rd_r=1912G857JXT6BQRRCYZ0&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=1912G857JXT6BQRRCYZ0\"><strong>Accuteck ShipPro Digital Scale<\/strong><\/a><strong> $25.99<\/strong> (110lb weight limit \/ 2g or 0.1oz accuracy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/acaia.co\/collections\/coffee-scales\/products\/pearl?variant=2433774125079\"><strong>Ac<\/strong><\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acaia.co\/collections\/coffee-scales\/products\/pearl?variant=2433774125079\">acia Pearl<\/a> $140-150 <\/strong>(11lb weight limit \/ 0.003oz or 0.1g accuracy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Coffee-Gator-Digital-Scale-Timer\/dp\/B07M9H2XZ9\"><strong>Gator Coffee Scale<\/strong><\/a><strong> $27 <\/strong>(6.6lb weight limit \/ 0.003oz or 0.1g accuracy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To read more about scales recommendations for specific purposes around a coffee business, please check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.bellwethercoffee.com\/?epkb_post_type_1=coffee-business-supplies\">Coffee Business Supplies article.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#7876e0;font-size:12px\"> <strong><a href=\"#top\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"buckets\"><strong>Buckets, Containers, + Bins for Green + Roasted Coffee <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on how much room you have and how much roasting you are doing, having buckets, containers, or bins around can be very helpful. Whether you are storing and blending green or roasted coffee, roasting many batches in one session, or want to cut down on your single-use coffee bags, having the right sized container available can make your coffee roasting operation a lot easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green coffee storage can often be a little easier to organize. Boxes and bags of green often come in Grain-Pro bags, which are perfect for green coffee storage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will want to make sure you store your green coffee in a cool, dry place free from cleaning products or fragrant foods. Remember, green coffee is porous and can absorb smells from nearby materials. Also, be sure the green coffee is stored separately from the roasted coffee to avoid cross-contamination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"green\"><strong>Green Coffee Storage + Containers <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to transfer your green coffee into a different container than the Grain-Pro bag it is often packaged in, it can be really convenient to have a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chefsfirst.com\/Trash-Can-Dolly-Brute-Heavy-Duty-w-3-Casters-Blk-p\/rubfg264000bla.htm\" target=\"_blank\">platform with casters<\/a> to help move them around.
