TEWS High-Speed Moisture Control Inline and in the Lab

Boost Your Coffee Production with Moisture Measurements

In the coffee industry, maintaining high-quality standards starts with precise moisture measurement of green coffee beans. Typically, these beans have a moisture content of 10% to 13% upon arrival. Accurately testing this moisture level is crucial for assessing the beans’ longevity and storage potential. This process can occur in various settings, including in laboratory or in-line directly at the storage facilities, employing advanced measurement technologies to ensure that the beans are perfect for roasting.

The transformation of green coffee beans into aromatic, flavorful coffee significantly centers on controlling moisture during roasting. Exposing the beans to temperatures around 230°C initiates the Maillard reaction, a chemical interplay essential for unlocking the coffee's rich aroma and taste. Simultaneously, it is vital to reduce the moisture content strategically to enhance flavor concentration. Post-roasting, the moisture level is measured to ensure it does not exceed the 5% legal limit. These careful moisture measurements are a testament to the industry's commitment to producing high-quality coffee.
