    摘要: One embodiment of an apparatus with mobile reusable airtight container assembly (10) which utilizes pressurized inert gas or CO2 gas for long term preservation of the freshness of roasted coffee beans or grounds in terms of aroma and taste, utilizes a system of an electronic controller (250), pressure switch (170), gas delivery valve (180), check valve (50) and vent valve (160) to create a pressurized environment of inert gas or CO2 gas and low residual oxygen and moisture concentrations within the airtight container assembly (10). An airtight lid (20) with pressure seal (220) covers the airtight container assembly (10) and creates a reusable system whereby the user can remove a portion of the roasted coffee beans or grounds as often as needed in order to brew coffee without degrading the long term freshness of the roasted coffee beans or grounds stored within the airtight container assembly (10). A two stage opening mechanism (40) prevents uncontrolled opening of the airtight lid (20) while the airtight container assembly (10) is pressurized. The check valve (50) enables the mobile aspect whereby the airtight container assembly (10) can be removed from and replaced back on a control system (260) as many times as desired by the user, while maintaining the optimum storage condition of pressurized inert gas or CO2 gas with low residual oxygen and moisture concentrations.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for producing fermented and vacuum-treated coffee using Kopi Luwak enterobacteria, in which the coffee contains a low concentration of caffeine and a high concentration of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). According to the present invention, the fermented and vacuum-treated coffee produced using Kopi Luwak enterobacteria according to the present invention has advantages in that it is produced by rapid fermentation, uniquely smells like caramel, chocolate, grass, etc., unlike unfermented green coffee beans, and has a reduced bitter taste and a deep and heavy taste with an appropriate sour taste.

    摘要: A system for heating an object includes an electromagnetic radiation source emitting electromagnetic radiation, a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage. The object is placed into the first stage where it is struck by electromagnetic radiation to thereby heat the object. The object is then transported to the second stage which has a cooling fluid flowing therein. The object moves through the second stage to cool down subsequent to being struck by the electromagnetic radiation. Air and any particulate matter produced by the electromagnetic radiation striking the object in the first stage is transported to the third stage. In the third stage, electromagnetic radiation is used to incinerate some of the particulate matter. The air in the third stage is vented out of the third stage through a filter.

    摘要: A process for preserving the organoleptic characteristics of coffee-based products and extending their shelf lives, having the steps of roasting the green coffee beans and placing it in a chamber with an inert gas atmosphere, first milling of the roasted coffee beans under inert gas conditions to a size between seventy five (75) and five hundred (500), second milling the previously milled roasted coffee beans under refrigerated conditions to ensure that the size of the bean particles fall between ten (10) and thirty (30) microns and jet milling the first and second milled coffee beans using a closed, or semi-closed, loop of inert gas jet mill to bring the bean particles' size between one tenth (0.1) and less than ten (10) microns resulting in an ultrafine powder. Micro-encapsulating or agglomerating the ultrafine powder with food ingredients, resulting in coated roasted whole coffee granules.

    摘要: A coffee degassing method is disclosed. A diffusion gas is supplied into a degassing tree in an bin containing roasted coffee. The degassing tree is in the roasted coffee. Carbon dioxide is diffused from the coffee with the diffusion gas. Carbon dioxide and the diffusion gas are exhausted from the bin. Another method of coffee degassing is disclosed. A diffusion gas is supplied into a degassing chamber in a bin containing roasted coffee. The degassing chamber is in the roasted coffee. Carbon dioxide is diffused from the coffee with the diffusion gas. Carbon dioxide and the nitrogen are exhausted from the bin.

    摘要: A container is provided having an open top end defining an access opening into an interior storage volume. A peripheral rim surrounds the access opening. A flexible membrane is sealed to the peripheral rim and a valve is attached to the membrane for venting gases from the interior of the container body. An overcap is provided to cover the access opening and be retained in the container rim adjacent the membrane. A bottom surface of the body of the overcap includes a continuous surface pattern thereon, with the surface pattern creating a plurality of gaps that define a continuous passageway along the bottom surface to the periphery of the overcap.
