Coffee is a form of art

Coffee beans are grown in over 80 countries, making this beverage extremely diverse in flavour and texture. From Colombia and Ethiopia to Brazil and Jamaica, these countries possess adequate climatic conditions to produce the highest quality of coffee. After harvest, coffee undergoes numerous cleaning and sorting operations until it is finally ready for market.

Coffee making is a form of art, let’s go to the origins of where it all began. 

The origins of coffee

Coffee is a wonderfully popular beverage that dates back centuries to its origins in Ethiopia. Here, it flourishes as undergrowth in cool and shady woods at altitudes of 1,300 to 1,800 m above sea level.

Raw coffee grows on the branches of the coffee plant in tropical and sub-tropical regions. It can grow up to 10 m in height. The fruit of these plants contains two kernels, which are the coffee beans. The main varieties are Arabica and Robusta.

Coffee roasting began in the 13th century. It is a heat process that causes chemical changes in the beans, bringing out the aroma, colour and flavour. Depending on the desired flavour and aroma required in a coffee blend, coffee roasters mix together coffees of different origins, types and quality. They also preserve coffee either as whole beans or granulated powder in specialised packaging, to create -lasting freshness, for whenever you brew a pot of this roasted beverage.

Here are 5 essential tips to improve the efficiency of your compressed air system:

A) Start with a Clean Slate – Clean Your Compressor

If you want an efficient compressor, you need to have a clean filtration system.

Through a given cycle, air and oil should be sufficiently filtered out. This results in the production of cool air in constant volumes and ensures a seamless performance of the machine.

If the filters are dirty, the pressure can drop. This will make the air compressor consume more energy and exert harder just to perform the basic functions. Ultimately, this would result in the untimely wear-and-tear of the compressor.

In case, the dirt stays on for several seasons the air quality could decline.

The global food and grocery retail market are expected to reach USD 12.24 trillion by 2020, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., progressing at a CAGR of 6.9%. This proposed growth will be driven by countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including India, China and Indonesia.

The rising population and increased affordability of premium foods and grocery products have created a need for regulatory standards. Interestingly, compressed air has become the essential power source for countless manufacturers in the food & beverage industry to maintain safety and quality while meeting the growing demands.
