What is Nitrogen Flushing?

Follow

Nitrogen flushing is a packaging process used to help preserve the freshness of coffee.

After roasting and before sealing the bag, the oxygen inside the package is removed and replaced with food-grade nitrogen gas. The bag is then sealed to help protect the coffee until it is opened.

Why Do You Nitrogen Flush Your Coffee?

Oxygen is one of the primary factors that contributes to coffee becoming stale over time.

By replacing oxygen with nitrogen before sealing the bag, nitrogen flushing helps:

✔️ Preserve freshness

✔️ Protect flavor and aroma

✔️ Reduce oxidation

✔️ Support product quality during storage and transit

Why Is Nitrogen Used?

Nitrogen is a naturally occurring, odorless, colorless gas that makes up approximately 78% of the air we breathe.

Unlike oxygen, nitrogen does not readily react with coffee, making it an ideal choice for helping maintain freshness.

Does Nitrogen Flushing Affect Taste?

Nitrogen itself does not add flavor to coffee.

Its purpose is simply to help preserve the flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the coffee by reducing exposure to oxygen before the bag is opened.
