We are equipped to handle large or small bulk volumes through our silo facility with a capacity of over 10 million pounds of coffee in over 100 silos. Approximately 10% more coffee can be loaded into bulk containers which translates into logistical, purchasing and processing cost reductions. With our certified truck scales AT our bulk receiving station, automatic weighing on every incoming bulk container can help drive additional handling costs out of your process. Bulk containers equal faster turnaround times of transportation equipment which can reduce expensive daily chassis and or container storage fees.
- We provide this unique service at a significant capacity to offer our customers the ability to add value to their coffee by improving the quality and increase profitability in their blends.
- Steaming coffee is a technique used to neutralize the tints and musty or earthy tastes found in Robusta coffee and can work to reduce acidity in order to market a “low acid” or “stomach friendly” coffee.
- When steamed coffee is incorporated into a blend, higher percentages of Robusta (steamed) can be included in the blends without impacting taste, resulting in lower costs and full blend optimization.
