Unique to the specialty coffee industry, the shallow draft 60mm beveled outlet is designed to fill small diameter pre-ground single dose pillow packs of pour over or brewed coffee. This outlet is specially ergonomically positioned high enough that the average operator can fill each bag at roughly waist height instead of bending down. The discharge chute is further equipped with a programmable vibrator that eliminates grounds retention for more accurate dosing.
Featuring a full color programmable touch screen interface, the system can be optimized for speedy and accurate automated dosing from as little as 1 to 40 oz per cycle.

Visit: millcityroasters.comBrewing A Better Single-Serve Coffee PodMill City Roasters®2024-03-26 | As specialty coffee coffee people, we've always been wary of single-serve options. Too many lackluster cups of hotel room Keurig coffee have left us doubting that a great pod option truly exists. GreenPod is changing our minds on the subject. Gary and Julie Kratzer are roasters and business owners in Virginia. Together they founded GreenPod Coffee Packing, a single-serve co-packer and Private Label roasting company. We caught up with GreenPod at Coffee Fest NY this March and had a chance to taste a cup of coffee brewed from one of their compostable, plastic-free pods. The cup quality blew us away. The flavor, body, and balance of the cup were on par with a great pour-over or a well-dialed-in batch brew. GreenPod is the real deal. We invited Gary and Julie to join Lauren for a quick chat about their product and the types of roasters they work with.
