With the continuous development of coffee specialization, coffee enthusiasts will notice that packaged coffee beans on the market have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years. From the initial kraft paper bags and plastic to aluminum foil, as well as bottles and boxes, I have tasted many beans with excellent packaging and quality.

About the Valve

Careful observers will notice that most packaging bags have a valve. This valve is called a one-way degassing valve. As the name suggests, it can release air from inside while preventing outside air from entering. Since freshly roasted beans emit a large amount of carbon dioxide, they need to be placed in bags with one-way degassing valves to release the gas, otherwise the bag can easily swell up.

Whether it's kraft paper bags, plastic bags, or aluminum foil bags, they are all equipped with one-way degassing valves. Many excellent roasting companies use bags with one-way degassing valves to package their beans. Of course, some also use bottles for packaging, typically transparent or brown plastic bottles or glass bottles.

About Storage

When storing packaged coffee beans, attention must be paid to light, temperature, humidity, oxygen, and cleanliness. For home storage, it's recommended to keep coffee in a sealed container and avoid storing it in high-temperature areas, direct sunlight, or damp places. Additionally, there should be no other strongly scented items nearby, as coffee will absorb other flavors, affecting its taste. This approach helps maintain the coffee's flavor for longer.

It's not recommended for coffee lovers to buy ground coffee because grinding increases the surface area of coffee, causing flavors to dissipate quickly after exposure to air. Therefore, if you want to experience better coffee flavors, it's recommended to grind beans fresh.

About Packaging

Most coffee in China uses aluminum foil packaging, with some using bottles for packaging, such as Minorita and Rose. There are also those who use brown glass bottles instead of plastic bottles for packaging, like Tarasu, where glass bottles have a more premium appearance.

My favorite packaging mostly comes from Northern Europe and Australia because not only is their packaging excellent, but their beans are also of high quality. For example, Tim Wendelboe from Oslo, Norway, not only provides information about the bean's estate, harvesting, and roasting but also details about the roasting date and batch number. There's also The Coffee Collective from Copenhagen, Denmark, which uses packaging in different color styles.

The Coffee Collective

Drop Coffee from Stockholm, Sweden, uses packaging boxes with coffee flowers and fruit branches as the main background, containing a sealed blue and transparent plastic bag inside.

The blend packaging from Square Mile in the UK, with fruit photos attached, also looks very appealing. Intelligentsia from the United States primarily uses red packaging, with a description of their understanding and flavor information about this particular bean on the front, and company information on the back.

Intelligentsia

Stumptown's kraft paper bags include a card with information about the beans; Counter Culture's beans also feature color combinations; Blue Bottle, with its simple logo, is also loved by many; Heart uses different colors to distinguish their beans.

49th Parallel from Canada and Market Lane from Australia are also considered popular online stores with excellent beans. Additionally, Seven Seeds and Onibus from Japan are among my favorites because not only is their packaging attractive, but their beans are also excellent.

I also quite like M2M's packaging from China and have collected many of their flavor information cards. The brown glass bottles given as gifts when buying Osher beans from Tarasu are also very attractive.

Moreover, when these companies launch coffee combination sets, the packaging designs are particularly outstanding.
