Learn more about coffee bag sealers that vacuum seal and flush bags and pouches with nitrogen or CO2.
Why is it important to vacuum seal coffee bags and flush them with nitrogen?
Vacuum sealing and flushing a bag with a gas like nitrogen removes most of the oxygen, making it difficult for aerobic bacteria to grow. This extends the shelf life and freshness of whole coffee beans and ground coffee. Many large grocery stores, retail coffee shops, or online retailers like Amazon, require that coffee producers use VGF/MAP for their packaging for resale. (VGF stand for Vacuum Gas Flush and MAP stands for Modified Atmosphere Packaging.)
