PACKAGING
No matter how carefully coffee is processed, only one factor dictates its ultimate quality: ”freshness”. After the coffee has been roasted, it begins to oxidise and grow stale. As a result, whether the coffee is to be sold ground or as beans, it must be packaged immediately after roasting. In order to preserve the coffee’s wondrous flavour and fragrance, it must be sealed in airtight containers and protected from environmental factors such as oxygen, moisture and odours until it is ready to be consumed. A number of packaging options have been developed to facilitate this.
Pillow Pack
Known as pillow packs due to their resemblance to pillows, these packs are designed to protect ground Turkish Coffee from all harmful environmental factors. Made from special packaging material, the pillow packs are filled and sealed by fully automated machines.
Pillow packs contain 100 g of delicious Turkish Coffee. The special packaging preserves the coffee’s freshness up to its expiry date, keeping it as fresh as the day it was ground. The recommended shelf life is 8 months.
Can Packaging
Fully automated filling and sealing machines are used to package coffee in specially designed cans that preserve the coffee’s freshness.
Turkish Coffee is sold in 250 and 500 g cans. The special packaging preserves the coffee’s freshness up to its expiry date, keeping it as fresh as the day it was ground. The recommended shelf life is 24 months.
Vacuum Packaging
Due to their resemblance to bricks, vacuum packs are also known as brick packs. Bags made from special packaging material are filled with ground coffee. Automated vacuum machines then remove the air inside the packet, and the packet is sealed.
Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi ground filter and espresso coffee are available in 250 and 500 g brick packs. The special packaging preserves the coffee’s freshness up to its expiry date, keeping it as fresh as the day it was ground. The recommended shelf life is 24 months.
One-Way Valve Lock Bag Packaging
This packaging is primarily used for roasted coffee beans. The beans are placed into the specially designed valve lock bags, which are then sealed airtight. The gases emitted from the freshly roasted and swollen beans are continually released via the valve mechanism, thereby preventing the bags from ballooning.
Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi roasted espresso coffee beans are sold in 1 kg valve lock bags. The special packaging preserves the coffee’s freshness up to its expiry date, keeping it as fresh as the day it was ground. The recommended shelf life is 24 months.
