Coffee – as fresh as the day it was roasted and full of aroma

Coffee is an example of how important the right packaging
is to the aroma of a product. Coffee is very sensitive. Freshly roasted beans react very quickly if they are exposed to oxygen and lose their quality. The challenge is consequently to pack coffee in a way that retains the fresh roast aroma.

Everyone knows the solid vacuum packaging for coffee. After the coffee is roasted, roasting gases are slowly released from the coffee beans and could inflate the vacuum packaging or even make it burst. So coffee is first stored before packaging until the roasting gases have evaporated. Unfortunately, aroma is also lost – a compromise that coffee lovers are no longer prepared to accept.

Bosch has the solution: a special valve that allows the roasting gases to disperse from the packaging. It permits coffee to be packed directly after roasting and retain its full aroma. The valve also prevents oxygen from getting into the packaging, which would destroy the coffee's aroma substances. The valve can be used both for whole beans and ground coffee, and can be attached inside or outside the packaging. It not only keeps the vacuum packaging firm. Coffee can also be filled into soft packages and still retain its freshness.

Bosch aroma protection technology has existed for 25 years and is used by many coffee makers to provide greater coffee enjoyment throughout the world.

Many different packaging solutions

Bosch Packaging Technology has developed an extensive program of machines for packing coffee, providing a suitable solution for every production and performance need, including flexible bag filling machines for packing coffee or cornflakes, multi-purpose boxing machines and the acclaimed high-performance "Hesser" machines for packing coffee, sugar and flour.

Simple opening
Packaging should ideally protect its content and also be as easy to use as possible. Above all, that means it must be easy to open without scissors or a knife. Packing machines from Bosch are especially flexible. They produce packaging with various different seals at the top. An especially practical extra "tearing aid" makes handling particularly easy: Simply tear it apart and the package is open.

Even simpler: portion packaging
Just slip it into the machine, press the button and your fresh espresso is poured into your cup. Filter pads, coffee sticks and capsules are the easiest way to enjoy fresh coffee. Predictions presume that by 2010, one in three new coffee machines will be a filter system using pads. Bosch has many different packaging solutions for packing volumes of individual portions.

Regardless how we enjoy our coffee – only the right packaging guarantees true enjoyment. Packaging technology from Bosch transforms our packaging into the all-rounders we know. For more quality and better health – every day.
