Just as Buddha needs golden adornment and people need fine clothing, coffee beans require quality bags to contain them!

Of course, coffee bean packaging bags involve more than just attractive appearance—the most crucial function is helping to maintain coffee bean freshness.

Typically, after coffee beans are roasted, we commonly see bags made primarily of aluminum foil. Sealing coffee beans in aluminum foil bags prevents contact with light and air, which would cause rapid loss of aroma, acidification, and oxidation.

Additionally, there's an important secret weapon: the "one-way degassing valve." Its purpose is quite special. After coffee beans undergo roasting, they produce various substances and naturally release carbon dioxide gas. If all these gases were to accumulate inside the packaging bag, they would affect the coffee bean quality and potentially rupture the bag. This is where the "one-way degassing valve" on the bag comes into play—it maintains internal pressure by allowing excess gas to escape while preventing external light and air from entering. This keeps coffee beans in optimal packaging conditions, preserving their fresh, original flavor.

So if you try squeezing the degassing valve on the packaging bag, you'll notice air being expelled. Many consumers assume this is designed for aromatic appreciation...but that's completely wrong!

Next time you're selecting coffee beans and uncertain about the flavor, don't rush to squeeze the degassing valve to smell and judge. It's better to simply ask the shop owner!

Note:

We've also seen many coffee bean bags without degassing valves. Does this necessarily mean they're inferior? Actually, not at all!

Here's a special explanation: inner-fold designs can also preserve air within the bag, functioning similarly to degassing valves. Additionally, with environmental protection as a priority, reducing such plastic packaging materials is also a commendable approach.

Therefore, coffee bean bags can only assist in maintaining freshness. The most important thing is to consume them while fresh—drink them quickly!
