  • Coffee Degassing Method
    Publication number: 20210259270
    Abstract: 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.

  • Coffee degassing device
    Patent number: 11000047
    Abstract: A coffee degassing device is disclosed and method. The coffee degassing device comprises a coffee bin and a hollow tree within the bin. The hollow tree has an opening in communication with the interior of the coffee bin. The tree provides an exit path for carbon dioxide off-gassing from the coffee. The device may have a diffusion gas supply conduit. The diffusion gas supply conduit is in communication with the hollow tree and is configured to supply nitrogen, or another diffusion gas, to the degassing tree for accelerating the degassing of coffee.
