To ensure consumers enjoy your coffee at its best, it is a good idea to include information, such as the roast date.

Over time, this can affect sales and, in some cases, damage a specialty roaster��s reputation irreparably.

If their coffee is stale, flat, or indeed rancid, it can put off customers from making repeat purchases.

What��s more, as CO2 releases from the coffee and oxygen replaces it, unpleasant, rancid flavours develop.

The moment roasted coffee beans leave the roaster, the loss of freshness begins.

Defined as the original, unimpaired qualities of coffee, it is generally measured by a combination of aroma and carbon dioxide (CO2) content.

Freshness is a cornerstone of the specialty coffee sector.

And although there is a wealth of information on the internet, providing instructions that cater to the specific coffee is a good way of maximising results.

As such, learning how to properly brew coffee at home has become a priority for many consumers.

A 2021 National Coffee Data Trends Report found that 85% of American coffee consumers drank at least one cup at home in the last 12 months, following a corresponding drop in out-of ...

This trend has only become stronger as a result of Covid-19 and its ensuing lockdowns.

As the third wave in coffee has grown, consumers have taken an increasing interest in the various different ways of brewing coffee.

But how can specialty roasters use the bottom of their bags effectively? Here, we round up the best ideas from a number of different brands.

With more than 400 different roasters all vying for attention in the UK alone, additional branding space can also help brands stand out on the shelf, no matter how the bag is posit ...

It can be used to promote the coffee and its story, to educate consumers on best brewing techniques, and to carry instructions on what to do with the bag once it��s empty.

Design inspiration: Customising the bottom of coffee bags

At MTPak Coffee, our expert design team can help you customise a range of sustainable packaging options, including flat bottom, side gusset, stand up, and quad seal pouches.

However, doing so could boost your brand identity, while providing customers with additional value.

The sides are a good place for transparent windows as they allow specialty roasters to showcase their branding on the main body of the bag.

While ��light�� or ��medium�� roast provides a rough picture, it��s ultimately a subjective opinion; in other words, one roaster��s perception of ��medium�� could b ...

Not only does it catch the attention of customers as they wander by the shelf, it also gives them an idea of how the coffee was roasted.

A transparent window on coffee bags also has a dual purpose.

Squeezing the bag and putting your nose to the degassing valve allows you to breathe in the coffee��s distinct aroma, either convincing you to buy it or to move on and try anothe ...

However, a secondary �C perhaps more incidental than intentional �C purpose is to smell the aroma of the coffee before buying it.

Degassing valves serve an important role in allowing CO2 to leave the sealed bag without allowing oxygen to enter.

Some also add the number of days consumers should wait before brewing it to ensure it has had sufficient time to degas (usually after around seven to ten days).

In addition to a roast date, specialty roasters may wish to include a time limit for enjoying the coffee (typically within three months of roasting).

Although the majority of coffees require several days to ��rest�� before being consumed, a roast date allows consumers to brew the coffee at its ��peak��.

Put simply, a roast date indicates the day on which the coffee was roasted.

To ensure consumers enjoy their coffee at its best, it is a good idea to include the roast date on the side of bags.

Over time, this can have a lasting impact on sales, while in some cases, it can damage a specialty roaster��s reputation irreparably.

Naturally, customers are unlikely to make repeat purchases if their coffee is stale, rancid, or flat-tasting.

Furthermore, as CO2 degases from the coffee and oxygen replaces it, unpleasant, rancid flavours start to develop.

As soon as roasted coffee beans leave the roaster, the loss of freshness begins.

It is broadly defined as the original, unimpaired qualities of coffee and can be quantitatively measured through a combination of aroma and carbon dioxide (CO2) content.

Freshness is a pillar of the specialty coffee sector.

For example, if the coffee is roasted for espresso, you could include some small drawings of a V60 and a French press.

This could be a step-by-step guide or even just a few simple logos showing brewing equipment.

Printing brewing instructions on the side of bags is an effective way of helping consumers get the most from their coffee.
