Coffee is one of those products where freshness matters most, so that you can enjoy your beverage to the fullest with each subsequent sip. Each process starting from sourcing the beans, grinding them, and brewing the coffee is paramount, but packaging stands out as a crucial intermediate. At BuildYourWolfPack.com, quality is a top priority, and in this blog, we will discuss the role of packaging and discuss how does packaging affect coffee freshness?

Importance of Freshness of Coffee

Freshness of coffee dictates such aspects as taste and density of a cup of coffee and its fragrance. Coffee beans degas soon after roasting which means its vital oils, oils of aroma and flavors will degrade and become unnoticeable after some time making fresh coffee to taste different from stale one. It is for this reason that packaging emerges as a critical component in maximizing coffee shelf-life as much as it can be since its roasting upto the time it finds its way into your cup.

How Does Packaging affect Coffee Freshness 

The answer is well hidden in the material and the packaging technology that is involved with the coffee. If well done, it becomes the best way to delay oxidation and preserve the quality of coffee beans for as long as possible. Here’s how packaging affects coffee freshness in three main ways:

• Barrier Against Oxygen: Oxygen on its interaction with coffee leads to stalking; a process similar to oxidation. Proper packaging on coffee will help to reduce the exposure of the coffee beans to oxygen hence maintaining its freshness.
• Protection from Moisture and Humidity: Coffee needs to be preserved, kept dry because any form of moisture results in spoilt coffee. To retain these characteristics packaging that keeps out moisture should be used to prevent coffee from caking and retaining its appropriate taste.
• Defense Against Light Exposure: Light spoils the beans of coffee through destroying the aroma and taste of the coffee. There exists shielding for coffee through packaging that safeguards it from the UV light effects.

However, at BuildYourWolfPack we pay particular attention to the packaging process to ensure that the freshness of the coffee is preserved in order to deliver the best brew to its consumers.

Impact of Packaging Design on Coffee Freshness

The appearance of packaging is also a factor that influences the freshness of coffee. Here’s how certain design elements make a difference:

1. Resealable Closures

This type of packaging has a zip lock feature which enables the customer to close it after every use in a manner that minimizes access of moisture and air into the bag. This ensures coffee beans have a longer lifespan than the conventional packaging; they can be fresh even when have opened the packet fully.

2. Portion-Based Packaging

Dividing coffee into one-use or small quantities means that the coffee will have limited contact with air. For its customers seeking portion-based packaging, BuildYourWolfPack has the portion-based packaging option that lets consumers have their desired servings of coffee without having to measure the coffee themselves.

3. Multilayer Barrier Films

Modern packaging employs clear multi-layer barrier films derived from foil and plastic which do not allow oxygen and light in. All these materials serve to improve the freshness of coffee it makes and ensures it stays at its best.
