TechTaste: The Coffee Interviews

What are the two most important ingredients that make up a great coffee? There could be several different answers to such a question; we have an answer: the Taste and the Technology.

TechTaste is an initiative which aims to pinpoint the benefits behind the relationship we at IMA develop with our customers in the coffee industry.

Coffee producers have in-depth knowledge of the raw materials. They are careful in selecting the right ones and closely monitor the steps which bring coffee beans from the plantation all the way to the cup. IMA Coffee provides the technological solutions which enable producers to achieve their objectives. From intake and storaging, through roasting to all the packaging operations. Moreover, we dedicate substantial resources to anticipating and answering evolving market trends by developing new processing and material prototypes in our laboratories.

Our insight into the processes and the understanding we have gathered and built up over the years by listening to coffee producers have given us the skills to configure the ideal coffee plant, made up of tailored processing and packaging solutions. Together with the customer, we can determine the optimum parameter settings and fine-tune the technologies to increase efficiency, productivity and coffee quality.

In the TechTaste interviews, we explore the reasons behind the successes achieved together with our customers. We will highlight the quality of the final product and look at the details of the process to understand how that quality was obtained. We will explain why a certain technology was chosen to enhance the performance of the line and influence the final coffee quality.
