In the Grinder - Our Daily Coffee Weblog

We wanted to let you guys know that we have decided to test out Grainpro's "Transafeliners" on our upcoming Guatemalan Microlot Arrivals.  What are Transafeliners you ask?  Well imagine a thicker grainpro bag the size of a 50ft container (see pictures below). 

From www.grainpro.com,

"GrainPro’s TranSafelinerTM provides protection against moisture ingress and condensation and simultaneously enables environmentally friendly fumigation of the commodity transported, thus ensuring arrival of the commodity to destination without infestation and without condensation or moisture ingress."

IDs P2569, P2570, and P2571 were all loaded in the container liner prior to shipment.  We are really excited about testing the results once this coffee lands in Minnesota.  We believe that this is a huge step forward in finding cost effective ways to preserve the integrity of coffee beans prior to transport.  We were one of the first to commercially use Grainpro lined burlap bags, and we are really proud to be one of the first to use Grainpro's Transafeliners.  Ccontinually raising the bar in preserving the intergrity of beans before and after travel is a great way to ensure that you guys are recieving the worlds best coffee.  Yay for Grainpro!!  And Yay for you guys who get all nerdy and excited about stuff like this as much as we do!!  Keep your eyes peeled for these lots coming in!
