Coffee is a daily drink for a lot of people, it means people can notice quickly small changes in the flavour. During the manufacturing process coffee should be roasted in specific temperature ranges and it is directly connected to the moisture content. One of our customers asked for a measurement system to monitor moisture after the final roaster.
In that part of the process, it is essential to keep characteristics good enough to conveying till the packing sector and deliver with the taste that everyone appreciates.
