It’s too easy to asperse on Blue Bottle for phenomenon a coffee-bean wrapping to good fanfare—Daily Coffee News reports a association betrothed a new bean cans are “revolutionizing a approach we consider about coffee freshness”—only to recall pronounced packages since some competence explode. Har har har. It’s distant some-more interesting, to me anyway, to plead because these coffee canisters competence explode.
Beans can increase about 20% during roasting as they catch gasses. Afterwards, a beans solemnly recover a CO dioxide they’ve engrossed during roasting in a routine called de-gassing. That’s because many coffee bags have that one-way valve on them to let CO dioxide shun while forestall staling oxygen from entering. (They’re not smellin’ holes, FYI.) Without those valves, bags would smoke adult with gasses.
Or, a enclosure competence explode. Presumably it’s a rave in gases with no recover resource that caused some Blue Bottle can lids to “detach fast with force” on opening. Per a company’s remember notice, it has perceived 13 reports of such incidents, with one ensuing in a cut on a person’s finger.
