Many users always encounter a problem when they first get the AFPAK k cup filling and sealing machine to try to produce, that is, the phenomenon of spreading powder is very serious, resulting in unattractive coffee capsules. This article will analyze in detail the causes and solutions of powder spreading
First of all, to understand the reason for spreading powder, we have to be familiar with the operation logic of powder filling.
The coffee or other powder is rotated inside the filling hopper by the screw/auger, and the powder stored on the screw/auger will flow to the inside of the cup, (this set of mechanisms is not suitable for powder with too good flowability). There is usually a stopper at the lower nozzle to prevent the powder from spreading. And the screw/auger is controlled by a high precision servo motor, and the number of turns of servo rotation to control the amount of powder filling.
Usually, the spreading of powder generated by factors such as wrong parameter settings, cup position is not adjusted correctly, and the powder in the flow of static electricity and other reasons. Next, we will check one by one
This is a relatively common situation. Because the hopper needs to be cleaned frequently, it is inevitable that the position deviation will occur during disassembly, so in the case of spreading powder, the position needs to be lined up:.
After the position are right, if there is still a spreading powder situation, there is a need to check whether the parameter settings are reasonable
The filling parameter setting is made up of two parts: the filling time, and the servo parameters. The two sets of parameters work well with each other to achieve perfect filling
mainly consists of three parameters: Filling/ Filling UP/Down/blender
The filling is to control the time from the beginning to the end of the coffee powder filling, generally set between 950-450
Filling UP/Down is to control the time when the cup starts to come up and drops back to its original position. Generally set between 950-450
Stir is the time to stir the coffee powder in the hopper, which can be ignored.
Note that the above angle parameter settings are based on the value on the machine's encoder, which represents the current machine stop position. Can not be set and changed at will
Generally, after the cup reaches the lower spout, the coffee powder starts to fill, then after the filling is finished, the cup returns to its original position.
When you click on the servo parameters on the left side of the screen, you will see the above page
There are six parameters on this page: Fill weight, Fill Ratio, Fill Servo speed, Clearing speed, Servo acceleration, and servo deceleration.
Fill weight and Fill Ratio is to set the filling weight parameters. you can check this video to learn how to set these two parameters:
Fill Servo Speed is to adjust servo motor turning speed, normally for K cups, we set 1500-2500, and for Nespresso, we set 1000-1500.
Servo acceleration is to set the parameters to start the auger turning, which means how fast the auger can reach the fastest turning speed, normally set 50-300
Servo deceleration is to set the parameter to stop the auger from turning, which means how fast the auger can stop turning, normally set 50-300
We found that the darker the coffee is roasted and the richer the oil is, the more likely it is to generate static electricity during the filling process.
After the generation of static electricity, the coffee powder is more likely to stick to the downstream spout, making the coffee powder transfer to the cup and other parts of the cup during contact with the cup.
Therefore, it is best to configure some electrostatic elimination devices to prevent this type of situation from occurring.
Specific methods of eliminating static electricity can be answered by contacting our sales engineers, who have summarized a set of static electricity elimination solutions based on customer feedback, which substantially helps customers solve many problems of spreading powder.
The above is our summary of the causes and solutions to the problem of spreading powder, there may be other situations that lead to the occurrence of such problems, we welcome feedback from our readers, and we sincerely welcome more comments and suggestions
As one of the first technicians in China to research coffee capsule filling and packaging technology, with more than ten years of front-line sales, design, R&D, and production experience, he has helped hundreds of coffee companies to set up their coffee capsule production lines successfully so far. He has been committed to developing higher-end, more advanced coffee capsule filling and packaging machines and constantly collecting feedback from customers, making AFPAK's machines more and more popular.
As one of the most popular k cups filling sealing machine in the market, RN1S k cup filling sealing machine has gained great preference among customers. It has helped a lot of startups, small business and medium business to grow, achieve their productivity target and reach their sales goals. To better help customers understand this machine, AFPAK provides here guidance in detail on how the replacement of key parts of RN1S k cup filling and sealing machine is carried out.
Please kindly note when you carry out the below steps to take out or replace the key parts of the RN1S k cup filling sealing machine, you need to make sure the power is switched off and the machine has stopped running. Besides, it is better that the machine is well-cleaned with no coffee powder inside before replacing any parts.
Fours screws close to the top of the cup silo are used to hold the cup magazine to ensure that the cup magazine is stable. So the first step is to unscrew all of them and you will be able to unite the cup magazine. While there are two screws used to tighten the bottom of the cup magazine. After taking off the top of the cup magazine, you need to release the two screws so that the bottom of the cup magazine could be removed. it is quite simple that any one in the factory or the workshop could do it.
When you remove the cup magazines, you need to make sure there is no cup inside. Or if there are cups in the cup silo, hold the bottom of the silo to prevent this cups from dropping and falling to the ground everywhere. Always remember to take the cup silo off gently, in case that the edges would cause wound to the operators.
After the cup magazine is removed, the cup separator should be taken out manually. There are few screws adopted to fix the cup separator which are put on position that could be easily unscrewed. When unscrew the cup separator, be careful of not letting the screws and some parts fall to the ground as some parts are small which might easily drop through the hollow parts of the machine. Hold those small parts while screw them. Besides there are blue and black tubes or tracheae connected to the cups separator, be mindful that you do not cause any damage to them as the screws are hidden inside. Further while removing or taking off the blue and black tracheae, you need to pay attention to the direction of the tracheae, so not to make mistake when connect them back to the cup separator again.
When the new cup separator is ready to be fixed to the machine, you need to firstly tighten the four screws on 2 sides. Then you could fix the bottom plastic cover to the cup separator. So you could put the bottom magazine or the new one back. For this step, the key thing is that you need to be very careful of the position of bottom cups magazine and do not let it touch the cup separator. There is space required between them as the cup separator moves back and forward to separate the cups from the cup magazine and deliver them to the positions on the round plate. There are gaps between two cups stacked in the cup silo which will be taken advantage by the cup separator to realize the cup separating. When cup magazine is set at the right position, screw it to tighten it to the machine.
The last step is to put the blue and black tubes to the right place.
It is quite simple. The filling nozzle are with internal thread. That means basically it is a screw and all you need to do is unscrew the old one and screw the new one to the machine.
The vacuum suction head is stored inside the round shape metal cover. To replace it, the first step is to take it out of the RN1S filling sealing machine. Then open it and take the vacuum suction out.
There are two big screws used to fix the round shape metal cover. You can only take the round shape metal box out after you unscrew the two crews. It is suggested to release the screw tightened horizontally firstly. After that unscrew the vertical screw.
There are four screws on top of the round shape metal cover. After remove those four screws, you will be able to take the top cover off. There will be another screw in the middle for round shape cover. By holding the bottom and unscrewing this screw, you will get the old vacuum suction head out.
Replace the old vacuum suction head with the new one. Then screw it to the round shape metal cover and put it back to the machine and fix it. Hence, the whole process is complete.
The lids magazine is a hollow tube shape part made by metal. It is fixed to the metal lids magazine platform by four screws. To replace it with the new one, all you need to do is unscrew the old one and put the new one on the machine by screwing tightly.
To change the sealing head, you need to release the whole part which contains the sealing head first. There are 2 screws applied to fix the part to the RN1S filling and sealing machine. Unscrew them while holding it to prevent the part from dropping. By taking out the part, you will be able to see the screw at the bottom of the part that fix the sealing head. Unscrew this screw and you will get the old sealing head. Replace it and fix it back to the machine. After putting the whole part to the machine, the whole process is complete.
Coffee is a well-known beverage, but in fact, most people do not know that making the perfect cup of coffee is very tedious, it has to go through peeling, drying, roasting, grinding, and cooking, where the roasting and grinding and cooking process is the most critical, the length and temperature of the roasting process, the grinding means, and the water temperature and way of the cooking process determine the different qualities and types of coffee.
Regardless of the type of coffee, the time and temperature of roasting, the size of the grains, and the method of grinding, as well as the temperature and method of cooking are great test for people who like to drink coffee in making a good cup of coffee.
So this inconvenience of making coffee at home and the improvement of the tedious and time-consuming cleaning process led to the emergence and innovation of coffee machines and directly to the innovation of the way coffee is consumed in homes and offices, which is why single-cup coffee had to emerge.
KEURIG means "excellence" in Dutch.
Regarding the origin of single-cup coffee, the founder of KEURIG believed that coffee consumed at home should be as fresh as coffee consumed in a cafรฉ, so he asked a very simple question: Why do people make a pot of coffee when they can only drink one cup at a time? It was this simple question that led to the creation of KEURIG.
The so-called single-cup coffee system consists of a single-cup coffee machine and a corresponding matching coffee package in a medium of some shape.
Generally, we call it by its specific name by using the shape of the media packaging, such as Nescafe Nespresso's matching shape of capsule-shaped aluminum packaging coffee, which we call capsule; TASSIMO machines use tray-like coffee bags, which we call T-DISK, while KEURIG machines use small cup-like coffee packaging, which we call "K-CUP" etc.
To use the machine, one puts a specifically shaped coffee bag into the machine and the machine quickly brews it to form a cup of coffee. After the coffee is finished people simply take the specifically shaped coffee bag out of the machine and throw it away, and there is no need to clean it again. Later, some single-serve coffee systems gradually introduced other beverages such as tea and hot cocoa.
These beverages with similar practices have slowly spread to people's lives, making them easier and faster to drink.
Now, in the United States and even the world, people's love for k cup coffee has been beyond imagination, It is estimated that the global Keurig K-Cup market was valued at over $7 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach approximately $14 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2020-2027. Such good market!
the following I want to introduce you to several of the best-selling k cup coffee brands in the United States (ranked in no particular order, data from Amazon)

It is born to help small businesses grow to be big, to be large businesses.
As in the below photo, this bulk dolce gusto capsules feed system is used to sort out empty capsules individually. Those empty dolce gusto capsules tend to pile up together or are upside down. So this feeding will separate them and correct their position. Then it delivers them one by one to the machine for the next step of production.
The powder or granules go through the silo to the empty capsules.
The film is cut and sealed here.
So the general process is that firstly the capsule feeding system delivers the empty capsule to the round mold position for filling and sealing. There will be a sensor to detect. If no capsule on the position, the filling and sealing would not happen. If the capsule is in the position, the filling system would start to fill, and after the film would be cut and sealed tightly to the capsules. Lastly, the capsules would be output.

Round plate
All the filling and sealing work is processed on the round plate in the middle of the machine, which could move clockwise or anticlockwise.
The cups are packed into the vertical capsule storage tube made of stainless steel. The diameter of the vertical coffee capsules storage tube is can be adjusted according to the cups, such as Nespresso cups, K-cups, Dolce Gusto cups, Lavazza Blue cups, Nespresso Vertuo cups, and other customized cups based on the customer's requirements. The tube could contain over 300 Nespresso cups and 100 K-cups, so to save the loading work for employees.
There are 2 air cylinders controlling the cup loading precisely. It could load 50-70 cups of different types onto the round plate each minute. The diameter of the position on the round plate is designed to match the size of the cup. So the cups could be loaded smoothly and precisely.
The second step is for the RN1S filling and sealing machine to detect if there is cups or capsules placed onto the round plate. If there is no cup or capsule detected in one of the positions of the round table, the detector would send this information to the machine and the filling and sealing process would not be carried out in that position.
The RN1S coffee capsule filling and sealing machine is equipped with a servo motor drive auger filling system with a feeding screw. The function of the feeding screw is to obtain the coffee powder from the silo and transfer the powder to the feeding nozzle at the bottom of the screw through the rotation of the thread.
The cylinder presses the powder suction barrel down to the laminating die. At this time, the powder head fits the mouth of the cup, and the powder in the cup is pressed tightly. The vacuum generator uses compressed air as the medium to create vacuum pressure, and vacuums the powder barrel to suck the powder away from the cup rim. This process ensures a clean filling and it ready for sealing.
Film suction refers to the sucking the film to the cups while film cutting means to cut the film to fit the rim of the cups. Different types of film such as aluminium and plastic films could be used in the filling and sealing machine.
The RN1S filling and sealing machine is also equipped with a film detection device which is used to confirm if the film is placed precisely to the cups.
On the RN1S filling and sealing machine, the cylinder drives the hot sealing head down to press the cup for a short period of time. At this time, under the high temperature of the hot sealing head, the hot sealing coating on the front of the diaphragm melts and sticks to the mouth of the cup to complete the sealing.
The RN1S filling and sealing machine could be equipped with a output conveyor or a scale. The cylinder drives the suction plate to suck the cups and delivery it to the scale for weighing or delivery to the output conveyor for further packing.
Impurity detection of RN1S coffee capsule filling and sealing machine is to ensure that there are no cups in the round plate before entering the next station.
50-70 cups can be filled and sealed per minute with ยฑ0.2g filling accuracyใ
Controller and operating are simplified so it only takes one operator to run the machine.
The round design of the RN1S capsule filling and sealing machine makes it possible to occupy a smaller floor area of 2 square meters, So it could fit into a normal warehouse within a house. For startups, it could save a lot of their space, and they can have a few of these models to form a production line to increase productivity.
The machine is light-weighted with the weight about 750kgs. The customer could easily transport by trucks. With wheels, the filling and sealing machine can easily be placed to any area of the customer workshop or factory.
With the clear structure of the filling and sealing machine, it would not take too much effort to install the machine and full guidance would be provided. A hotline will be available to support customers.
RN1S filling and sealing machines have been upgraded continuously to meet the increased demand from customers worldwide. It has helped a lot of small businesses to grow and gain their sales to reach a higher level of their business. Simplicity and efficiency are what Afpak looks for, RN1S filling and sealing machine aims to help clients to improve productivity at a lower cost.
Weโll mainly distinguish different types of Nespresso capsules by their material here.
As we all know, Nespresso capsules can be made from many different materials, which directly affect the taste of coffee and also our environment.
At the same time, these different materials also make a difference to the structure of the coffee capsule packaging machine.
Widely used materials are divided into three categories: aluminum, plastics, and compostable(plant-based) materials.
The aluminum capsules generally refer to the Nespresso pods of Nestlรฉ, while other brands and coffee roasters have been slowly adopting this form.
However, the plastic capsules can be Nespresso, Keurig, or other forms.
That being said, generally, Keurig capsules were made up of three main elements -- the plastic cup itself, the paper filter, and aluminum foil.
Also, the compostable capsules can be Nespresso, Keurig, or other forms.
Then how does the material or structure of the capsules affect the taste of coffee or our coffee drinking experience?
And what exactly are the differences between these materials?
Aluminum Capsules
The aluminum capsules were fully airtight, and light-tight that they were used to protect the quality and freshness of our coffees from the exposure to oxygen, moisture, and light.
It is capable to protect the unique aromas and flavors of our coffee, making our coffee has a stronger taste.
It is also robust, yet lightweight.
All these functional advantages which surpassed others made it remains our material of choice for packing coffee.
Besides, it is 100% plastic-free and totally recyclable.
When it comes to the effects to the coffee capsule packing machine, because of the good thermal conductivity of aluminum film and cup, this kind of capsule requires a higher quality heat sealing system.

Plastic Capsules
Today, most coffee capsules are made of food-grade plastic, with a plastic or aluminum foil lid.
Similar to aluminum capsules, most plastic capsules are airtight, lighttight, sealed in an low oxygen environment, keep the coffee inside for long time freshness.
They are also recyclable, after rinse the brewed coffee grounds and separate the foil lids from the capsules.
But normally coffee brewed in plastic capsules has complex flavors and different textures, mostly depending on how the coffee is roasted.
There are actually many different materials of plastic capsule on the market, each with different characteristics.
PP (Polypropylene)
PP is a highly transparent and crystal clear material which enhance the image of any product inside.
Coffee in the PP capsule will be highly protected against moisture and steam to maintain freshness and taste.
Generally PP plastics is similar to PE, but more stronger, and more expensive.
ยทTransparent
ยทGreater resistance to chemicals, heat
ยทStrong and hard to break
ยทRough surfaces may cause scratches
ยทOutstanding vapor and moisture isolation
ยทSlightly inflexible
ยทPoor oxygen isolation
(PP Nespresso capsule)
PE (Polyethylene)
PE plastic is soft, durable and tear-resistant which perfectly suit for packing heavy items.
Therefore many industrial companies often utilize PE storage bags to package large, heavy industrial machined parts.
ยทInert, lighttight, and produces low static charge
ยทSignificantly less attraction of dirt, dust or other foreign matters
ยทSoft and elastic
ยทGreat resistance to low temperatures and abrasion
ยทPoor oxygen isolation
ยทGenerally speaking, the price is lower than PP
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)
PET plastic is normally light weight, high transparent, good impact resistance and breakage resistance.
PET bottles became the main packaging material for beverage products today.
Especially those beverages which require high temperature sterilization filling, such as flavored water, juice, sports drinks, etc., are also packaged in PET bottles.
With its heat-resistant and pressure-resistant features, it has replaced various PVC bottles, bags, aluminum capsules, iron cans, glass bottles, etc., and has become the packaging material with the most growth potential.
ยทHigh oxygen and moisture isolation
ยทStrong and lightweight, higher strength and stiffness than PBT
ยทLower moldability than PBT
ยทHigh heat resistance and pressure resistance
ยทWide range of use temperature, from -60 to 130ยฐC
ยทPractically shatter-resistant
PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate)
The majority of plastic coffee capsules today are made from PBT, with aluminum foil lids both on the top and bottom.
Itโs very similar to PET capsules in many ways, with only a few difference.
ยทHigh oxygen and moisture isolation
ยทStrong and lightweight, slightly lower strength and stiffness than PET
ยทMore elastic and tough (higher impact strength) than PET
ยทHigh heat resistance and pressure resistance
ยทSlightly lower melting point than PET
ยทRobust chemical resistance like PET
ยทRelatively hard to seal like PET

PLA (Polylactic acid)
Different from all the above materials, PLA capsules are an eco-friendly plastic in packaging, made from compostable materials such as cornstarch or sugarcane.
There are data shows that the carbon emissions of PLA production is 68% smaller , and the energy usage is 65% less than that of conventional plastics production process.
The PLA skirt and the recycled aluminium or bioplastic film on top make these capsules an ecological choice.
ยทEnvironmentally friendly
ยทPoor oxygen and moisture isolation
ยทRelatively low strength
ยทLow heat resistance, toughness
ยทAvailable in a wide range of composite materials and colors to provide different performance and appearance

PP+EVOH+PP
The PP sheet with added EVOH barrier material is widely used in the food packaging industry, it can effectively block the penetration of water, oil and oxygen, and prolong the shelf life of food.
PP is considered to have outstanding vapor and moisture barrier properties but poor oxygen barrier properties.
However, EVOH is considered to have superior gas barrier properties on condition that not exposed to moisture. And it is more expensive.
This materials combination was not only used in coffee capsule packing, but also foods packing in supermarkets and other places.

Compostable Capsules
Compostable capsules are made from a variety of renewable raw materials, should biodegrade within several months in commercial composting, and can be added to local food waste collections.
Despite its eco-friendliness, there are still various challenges remain for biodegradable materials towards practical packaging applications.
Particularly with the poor oxygen/moisture barrier issues.
Therefore the compostable capsules are usually packaged in nitrogen-filled airtight bags in order to maintain coffee freshness.
Basically compostable capsules are made from the following raw materials.
ยทWood bark/lignin
ยทSugarcane/sugarbeet
ยทCornstarch
ยทPHA (bacteria-based bioplastic)
By the way, PLA plastic capsule is also compostable.

Recycling Process
Nowadays people care about environment and used coffee capsules recycling.
Thankfully, most of them are traditionally recyclable, which means they can be recycled like other plastics and metals.
Most coffee capsules contain four materials: plastic, aluminum, compostable material, and brewed coffee grounds.
All four of these materials can generally be separated, sorted and responsibly recycled.
Aluminum capsules
The beauty of this material is that it is 100% infinitely recyclable.
It does not lose its technical properties even recycled for many times.
It can be used repeatedly, which is why over 75% of aluminium production is still in use today.
You'll need to pierce the foil lid, dump out the used coffee granules (either in your food bin, compost, or other reuse methods), and do a quick rinse before adding it to your recycling bin.
Or you can just ship them back to a Nespresso recycling facility using a given recycling bag with a prepaid UPS shipping label.
Or simply drop the bagged capsules off at your local Nespresso boutique or participating store.
What happens to recycled aluminum?
The aluminium recovered from our capsules is reused to make a wide range of products, from beverage cans to car parts, bicycles and other everyday useful items, and even new Nespresso capsules.
Producing aluminum from already used aluminum can save 95% of energy.
The empty plastic recycling bags are recovered and converted into usable energy.
Plastic capsules
The plastic capsules are made of PP, PBT, PET, etc. that they are 100% recyclable.
However still in some place they may only be recycled in specific situations such as if they can easily be separated from other recycled materials.
How exactly to recycle?
The easiest option is to use Keurig's mail back recycling program for Keurig capsules or TerraCycle coffee capsules zero waste box.
In this case, you don't have to separate the plastic from the filter, foil lid, and coffee grounds, but just throw the used pods in the box.
Or you can check whether there are Terracycle dropboxes at Subaru dealerships that take coffee pods which always donโt matter brands.
The most conventional approach is that you probably need to first check with your community about local recycle program.
If they do take plastic pods in the recycling, then you can procedure these steps.
ยทPeel off the aluminum cover
ยทSeparate the inner paper filter from the outer plastic cup
ยทKeep cups and other recyclable plastics together or just put cups in your regular bin if sorting isn't required in your area
ยทPut aluminum cover to other recycling bin or collect them together for next time
ยทCompost filters and coffee grounds
Compostable capsules
Itโs an ideal option in dealing with recycling.
You can throw it in your home compost or green waste bin.
Or you can take it to your local community compost yard.
If it ends up in a landfill, it will still break down over time, just not as quickly as it does in compost.
Summary
We divided the coffee capsules into three categories by material in this article, and talked about how is the way to recycle them individually.
There may be some difficulty in recycling coffee capsules in your local, but do be patient and do it.
I also hope this article can be a reference to your selection of coffee capsules when you are preparing for mass production.
It is no doubt that no matter what kind of machine you own, you need to make sure it is well taken care of, especially for large machines like coffee capsule packing machines.
Maintenance can be treated as one kind of risk management that plays an important role in maintaining optimum productivity.
It is so important that some companies have made very detailed and informative maintenance plans for their equipment.
Weโll start with some easy and basic points, and then cover it later in this article about how to make detailed maintenance plans.
As the first thing you need to consider for machine maintenance, which is also clearly described in the machine manual, itโs very important that those moving parts of the coffee capsule packing machine must be kept regularly lubricated with a drop of lubricant.
And if itโs ignored, the defects caused by friction are usually not covered under warranty.
If the machine is covered with dust, dirt or some coffee powder, it is unpleasant to use, it may also lead to some potential problems during the running.
Simply do some cleaning at the end of the work will make a lasting impact on preventing big problems later on.
Empty the dust box at the โsuction powderโ station in time, and clean the heat sealing head everyday.
Regular cleaning can prevent the prolonged downtime associated with less frequent maintenance.
Itโs also important that the machine is kept dry.
Remember to dry the machine after the cleaning, and place it in a dry place.
The coffee capsule packing machine has components designed to cut, such as the cutter of the โvertical capsule loadingโ system or โfilm cut & heat sealingโ system.
Keeping the sharpness of them is critical.
Especially the cutter in the โfilm cut & heat sealingโ system, probably stuck to some roll film debris after a period of running, causing the blade to become blunter.
If this is ignored, may lead to cutting film not good or even failure.
Itโll be very effective if you can do the sharpening weekly.
As we all know that wearing parts exists in almost all the machines.
Regular replacement of wearing parts is required to avoid slowing down or complete failure of coffee capsule packing machine.
If this is ignored, when the damaged elements failed the machineโs running and even inhibit the production line, It will be very bad.
Besides the damaged parts could only be detected or replaced by highly qualified and trained person or certified service technicians.
Therefore, at first you take a inventory of high wearing parts and moderate wearing parts, then make clear of the process and schedule for replacing.
You should be in good communication with your supplier about these parts.
Regular inspections play an important role in machine maintenance for ensuring your machineโ long life span.
You can make a schedule for these inspections described below:
ยทCheck whether the chain is loose
ยทCheck whether some other parts is loose
ยทCheck for abnormal sound
ยทCheck if the motors are overheating
ยทCheck the sealing quality by random sampling
ยทCheck the weight of the whole capsule by random sampling
Perform these routine inspections to ensure that the machine is in a well condition.
All right, letโs dig it deeper.
Weโll go through a group of theoretical knowledge about machine maintenance first, then use this knowledge to improve our maintenance skills and learn how to make a detailed coffee capsule packing machine maintenance schedule.
At first, there are basically four types of maintenance strategies.
Preventive maintenance(PM) is based on the philosophy that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".ย
PM is performed at predetermined intervals or according to prescribed standards, designed to reduce the risk of failure or performance deterioration of equipment.
It helps you find and fix small issues early by scheduling inspections and tasks before they become big problems.
It helps reduce the possibility of unexpected failure or equipment breakdowns.
PM can be as simple as doing a weekly check, a cleaning, a drying, a lubrication, or replacing an element once it has done some number of run-hours just like the tips mentioned above.
Corrective maintenance(CM) is based on a firm philosophy that, in the event of a failure, downtime and repairs cost less than the investment required for a maintenance program.
Therefore repairs are carried out after an abnormal condition appears, with the purpose of getting back to the normal conditions.
This strategy seems to be cost-effective before a disastrous failure occurs.
But risks and benefits coexist.
Risk-based maintenance(RBM) is based on risk and cost analysis, aims to determine the preventive maintenance strategy by seeking the more reasonable cost of all the risks.
Risk analysis is like this.
ยทWhich part could go wrong?
ยทThe possibility of this problem occurs?
ยทWhat influence will this problem cause?
Cost analysis is like this.
ยทDirect cost. Such as routine preventive maintenance cost.
ยทIndirect cost. Such as organizational, management cost.
ยทConsequence of failure cost. Such as safety cost, delay of production cost.
Condition-based maintenance(CBM) is based on the device performance monitoring, and the corrective actions will be taken accordingly.
By detecting important operating equipment parameters, to achieve continuously monitoring of the equipment conditions is every important in CBM.
Maintenance occurs when certain signal shows that equipment is worsening and the probability of failure is increasing.
So in the long run, this strategy can reduce machine failure associated maintenance costs, meanwhile minimize the occurrence of critical failures and optimizing the management of available economic resources.
In a word, its advantage is that it avoids as much trouble as possible before it turns to machine failure.
When you perform maintenance in this strategy, you know what the maintenance team will do in a certain day, you have plenty of time to prepare for it.
Because you have already arranged the work in advance, you can easily send the right guy there at the right time, instead of having to call special technicians to deal with it.
Because you can schedule maintenance to avoid peak production periods, you wonโt get confused in such critical times.
On the other hand, its disadvantage is the possibility of straying into the over-maintenance misconception that you're doing more than you need to.
Can good things be eaten too much? In terms of maintenance, itโs possible.
The two big problems are additional waste and increased risk like these below.
If you replace the fan belt on the engine too soon, you're probably throwing away perfect stock.
And every time you open the control cabinet and have a technician take parts out and put them back after check, there is a risk of accidental damage.
A technician might strip a bolt or drop a metal tool in the distribution box.
Even something like checking the circuit can introduce foreign matter into the machine.
In a word, its simple and save time.
CM only plans maintenance for equipment when it breaks down.
There is almost nothing particular to do until a problem occurs.
It usually reduces short-term costs because a lot of the planning and preventive maintenance work were eliminated.
If the equipment had almost no problems, the maintenance cost was about zero.
Itโs the best choice when the equipment is not very expensive or important, or when the time and money required to perform PM is much greater than that required to perform CM.
Despite its advantages, CM also has some disadvantages.
Since little preparation is done before the failure occurs, and there is no advance prediction of what the upcoming problem will be, there is a possibility that something unexpected will happen which increased risks.
Unexpected failure may cause disastrous damage to the whole system.
And generally speaking, it may be too late when finally the equipment failure occurred.
In a word, RBM can reduce risks to acceptable levels.
Since almost all the risks have been analyzed in advance, so the equipment owner can take precautions for risks they think they need to avoid based on their own conditions.
For higher level risks, the frequency of PM or CM may be increased, while for those with lower levels of risk, less or no maintenance will be done.
Itโll eliminates work which seems to be low-value, and provides guidance for limited budgets at the same time.
On the other hand, its disadvantages are obvious.
One is that risk identification and analysis processes is the basis so failure in this link will be enlarged.
There may be unrecognized risks involved and risks that are assessed to be too low which will lead to unexpected results.
Therefore the risk identification and analysis processes is emphasized and may take too much time or spend too much budget.
And its difficult to identify and select the right man for risk assessment.
Besides, risk assessment can be based on too subjective standards due to the lack of reliable objective standards and in that case it is quite common to trust an expertโ judgments.
In a word, you can keep the device running and let the sensor work for you when performing CBM.
CBM takes place while the equipment is running, instead of shutting down the device to check, which saving you overall downtime.
You can just perform tasks when you realized you need them, instead of having to schedule as many inspections in advance, which save on overall maintenance costs.
Being able to "see" the condition of equipment without having to turn it off and disassemble parts to check saves you more than just time and effort.
You'll only need to send a technician up to check if you already know there's a problem which indicated by a sensor.
It may also protects you from the risk of equipment damage and injury to technicians.
About disadvantages, the first thing is cost.
This includes both the equipment required and the additional training you will need, which will make you know how to set up and calibrate the sensors.
Besides, this strategyโs basis is that you need to choose the right sensors for the equipment at first.
Even with the "right" sensors, you could still be in trouble if the environment is harsh enough to eventually destroy them, or the sensors themselves may also run into a failure.
Maintenance Types Summary
Choosing the right maintenance strategy starts with understanding your options, their long points and weak points.
Run-to-fail tends to have a bad reputation, but it's the best option for some equipment.
Actually you can use it when something is difficult or impossible to maintain, but cheap to stock, easy to replace elements.
PM helps you find out potential problems early by scheduling inspections or eliminate some risks before they come out through the daily care.
RBM helps to reduce risks to acceptable levels and cares about risk analysis in advance.
CBM relies on sensors and special software to collect data of the equipment, which will be continuously monitored till the readings exceed preset parameters.
So in the end, there is no one-size-fits-all perfect strategy.
There are someone choose run-to-fail, and also someone choose PM.
Rather than considering various strategies in isolation, look at the differences between them to better understand them.
Actually, instead of having to choose the one that suits you best, you should choose the right mix of maintenance strategies for your coffee capsule packing machine.
Letโs refocus our attention to coffee capsule packing machine maintenance.
In my opinion, you can try to flexibly use the combination of PM, CM, CBM in performing maintenance of this machine.
You can schedule your own coffee capsule packing machine maintenance work like this below.
When the machine was just arrived and started to work, its a new machine, the operation is not familiar to you, it has much uncertainty, in this initial period, all three of them need to be performed in a higher frequency.
Timely cleanup of dust, lubrication, such PM work is essential.
In addition, you need to strengthen the monitoring of the operating results, like filling weight, sealing quality, to achieve the early detection of problems or problem trends, these CBM work is also essential.
This period can be up to one or two months after the machine first started running.
After a period of use, machine performance tends to stabilize, you can appropriately reduce the frequency of some CBM, maintenance strategy can be based on PM plus CM.
PM is still the basis of normal production every day, and you can try run-to-fail strategy in this period.
After the machine has been running for more than five or six years, all the parts have aged more or less and they are not longer performing very well, you need to strengthen PM and CBM, just like the machine was at the beginning.
Some parts may have to be replaced in time to greatly reduce the probability of errors.
In addition, the results of the machine operation can no longer be fully trusted, and more detection is needed to find out errors early.
You can basically schedule your coffee capsule packing machine maintenance work like the following.
ยทInitial stage(1 or 2 months since your machine started work)
- Perform PM, CBM at a higher frequency
ยทStable running stage(5 or 6 years)
- Perform PM in a normal frequency, plus CM
ยทEnd stage
- Perform PM, CBM at a higher frequency
As for the PM schedule, get suggestions from your supplier.
And, keep in mind five tips of PM work.
ยทLubrication
ยทKeep the machine clean and dry
ยทKeep some parts sharp
ยทChange parts regularly
ยทInspect machine regularly
Even with the most advanced capsule packaging technology, dust and various particles in the air are unavoidable
In particular, coffee powder, using different roasting processes and degrees, resulting in a great difference in the granularity and moistness of the coffee powder, in the process of packaging coffee capsules, the use of improper dust control means may be counterproductive.
Smile dust leakage is most likely to occur when the dry coffee product passes through the different stations of the coffee capsule packaging machine. During the coffee capsule production process, there is a risk of increased coffee particles in the air whenever the coffee powder continuously moves through the machine, or when the machine is turned on and paused.
Here are eight features of modern powder packaging machines that can help reduce or eliminate the negative effects of dust in your automated packaging line:
If coffee capsules are produced in an open environment, dust in the absence of any group will fill the entire space, so a closed mechanical structure is crucial, and the closure of the different components cannot be ignored, they can be a barrier to block the dust, but also the function of cleaning the dust, protecting the filled coffee from contamination also the coffee powder will not evaporate in the air.
Air quality and humidity also have an impact on the filling of coffee capsules. Our design needs to maintain the original dryness and humidity of the coffee so that moisture and dust in the air do not come into contact with the coffee material for long periods of time, which has an impact on the filling and taste.
We use a dustproof housing using a combination of plexiglass and stainless steel, which can effectively protect the electrified components and equipment from collisions and dust so that the machine can run for a long time, any function is basically unaffected by the environment, climate, air, some of the extreme cases, because of the difference in air pressure only need to adjust the machine parameters. Basically, coffee capsule packaging can be done anywhere in the world.
During the production of coffee capsules, it is not only necessary to consider dust entering the machine, but the cleaning of the capsule edges is equally important. When sealing the sealing film, if there is coffee powder or dust adhering to the edges, it is very likely that the sealant of the sealing film will be misaligned, resulting in scrapped or leaking capsules. To solve this problem, we add vacuuming equipment during the packaging process to remove the coffee powder attached to the edge of the capsule and reduce the effect of particulate matter on the capsule seal.
There are a large number of metal parts inside the machine, their contact with the capsules and sealing film will generate a lot of static electricity, which will lead to the adhesion of dust and coffee powder, which will have an impact on the electrification components and equipment or the quality of coffee capsules, in order to avoid this situation to ensure efficient and stable production, we have added a static bar to the design of the machine, through nitrogen flushing, constantly scattering the static factor inside the machine.
Inside our standard coffee capsule packaging machine, it is equipped with an air gun. It is very helpful for cleaning the dust and losing coffee powder from the hopper and inside the machine.
Most of the coffee capsule filling machines that customers can buy are pneumatic chains, which will constantly produce friction and leak gas, generating static electricity and dust. The long time friction with dust will reduce the life of the corresponding parts and will also affect the accuracy of the machine's operation. And the noise generated by pneumatic is also a problem that needs to be solved.
We use a motor-driven chain in order to solve all problems from the customer's point of view. The function of the motor is the same as that of the air motor, and the cost is higher, but the use of electric power reduces the generation of shadow. Moreover, the motor is smoother and reduces the friction between the chains, which prolongs the life of the machine and its parts and meets the demand for high-standard machines.
The seal needs to make the seal adhesive and capsule on the membranes of the edge contact, fully met the requirement of the temperature, the dust gets in the way of contact and transmission of the temperature, the seal before the dust cleaning is carried out by vacuum dust bag, effectively maintain a clean and tidy the edge of the capsule, in order to ensure the reliability of the seal, we joined the second seal, minimize the influence of the dust.
The addition of dust control measures to the coffee capsule packaging machine will help prevent the impact of powder on the production operation, but also requires the operator to follow the appropriate machine preventive maintenance plan, keeping the machine in the best condition can make the production work easier.
Many preventive maintenance tasks include cleaning and checking parts for residue or dust. Using the convenience of air guns, it is best to clean once a day, and it is also necessary to clean up after the replacement of hopper materials.
A brief introduction to the Rotary K cup Filling Machine from AFPAK to make you know every detail of the machine
A Rotary k cup machine is a highly efficient machine for filling and sealing k cups. It is developed by engineers with over 10 years of experience in the coffee capsule and k cup business and it is manufactured to support small to medium-size businesses, featured with relatively low cost, high efficiency, and maneuverable operation, thus improving the production capacity to meet the increased demand from customer.
Compared to a linear type filling machine on which the K cups or capsules needed to be filled and sealed tends to move linearly, a rotary k cup filling machine has a round turntable moving circularly with k cups or any other kind of coffee capsules.
This simple difference brings a lot of benefits to better serve the small and medium-sized businesses, as the rotary k cup machine itself takes up less space for the installation.
That means within the same workshop of small and medium-sized businesses, more rotary k cup machines can be fitted.
Efficiency and production capacity are advanced and boosted greatly.
The turntable or, to be more precise the rotary table, is moving more stably to make sure the smooth process of filling and sealing, so to stop the coffee powder from spreading out of the k cups.
This feature also ensures the k cups are sealed with the lids on in a better way as the lids would be placed more tightly so to keep the coffee granules fresh and improve the shelf life of k cups.
The rotary k cup machine has the capacity to process from 40 and up to 100 k cups every minute.
K cups made of various types of raw materials could be sealed and filled by the rotary k cup machine, as long as they fit into the rotary table.
Besides different types of granules, liquid, drinks, beverages, yogurt, and powders such as tea granules, coffee powders or other types of liquid could be filled into the k cups by this rotary k cup machine.
After years of rich experience with the AFPAK team, who has gained a deep understanding of the coffee capsules and k cups market through years of market research and key information shared by regular customers, AFPAK came up with the idea of providing rotary k cup filling machine.
Through multi-time of tests and strict quality control by the team, and by using the carefully selected raw material, the team managed to launch this rotary k cup machine.
And soon it became one of the most well-known coffee granule filling and sealing machines worldwide.
Stainless steel and aluminum alloy are applied to form the frame so as to reduce the weight of the machine meanwhile make it easier for cleaning.
The rotary k cup filling machine is equipped with a capsule dropper, cup or capsule sensor, lid sensor, nitrogen filling system, edge cleaning system, and more, with basic functions of cup dropping, filling cups, and sealing cups with lids.
Apart from those, by adapting the latest technology, it is possible to set how many cups are going to be filled and sealed by the machine within a certain time period which could be set as well by programming.
The rotary k cup machines were launched as a supplement to the linear k cup machine which has the advantages of small size and simple operation.
However, rotary k cup filling machines are relatively more efficient.
For small and medium-sized businesses in the coffee granule filling and sealing business, it is strongly suggested to have the rotary k cup machines installed in their plants or workshops, not only because of the portability of the machine but also because of its relatively low cost and handiness.
A greater amount of k cups could be filled and sealed by the rotary k cup filling machine than by the hand-manipulated machine, indicating a better efficiency. It has a nice layout and design, small in size but relatively large in its capacity.
The launch of this rotary k cup machine aims to make production easier, free workerโs hands, improve productivity, gain higher accuracy in filling and sealing,render a easy job of cleaning, and enable the production versatile in terms of various type of k cup related products.
3.1 Servo motors are applied to enhance the accuracy of the filling and sealing process by the rotary k cup filling machine center.
The filling is carried out vertically driven by the servo motor.
Besides, automation of providing the granules greatly improves the precision of filling.
Furthermore, the efficiency of the sealing process is increased as the motor drive system ensures faster and steady sealing.
0-40 Celsius temperature can be set based on the requirement and under real conditions.
Lastly, thermal insulation products from Japan are applied to the rotary k cup filling machine to protect its parts as the processing produces a lot of heat, bringing negative effects on the processing and also causing certain issues such as damaging the parts of the machine.
3.2 The rotary k cup machine is equipped with a nitrogen flushing system to ensure a better shelf life of the products.
The freshness of the granules or liquid inside the k cups is kept longer when filled with nitrogen to make sure a great taste and high quality.
3.3 Moreover, smart sensors are adapted by rotary k cup filling machines to make the machine more intelligent, easier, and safer for operation.
If the sensor realizes that there are no lids on the rotary table, the filling and sealing process will be automatically stopped to prevent the machine from getting coffee granules scattered everywhere, which enables a simpler approach to cleaning.
3.4 Additionally, the rotary k cup machine could calculate the quantity of the k cups filled and sealed which is time-saving for the workers.
And surely, one could set English as the system language.
The machine can run for 24 hours for any business to produce a greater amount of products.
When the issue occurs, it will notify so the engineer knows where needs to be maintained.
AFPAK has a wide range of k cup filling sealing packaging and cartoning machines lines, of which the disc type machines are our best sellers.
After collecting years of customers trial feedback combined with the continuous upgrading of technology, we now have machines that are easy to use, superior in performance, and reliable in quality.
And now we recommend:
This RN1S rotary k cup filling machine we can sell up to 20 units a month all over the world.
With its elegant design, complete functionality, and excellent performance, it will be your best production helper if you are a startup or a medium-sized company.
RN120 rotary K cup filling machine is an equipment that is more efficient and doubles production output.
It has the same performance and features as the RN1S but can produce up to 120 cups per minute.
Ideal for medium to large companies that need more precision and better performance in their coffee business
All in all, the purpose of launching the rotary k cup filling machine is for small to medium size business to grow their business and gain more customers and sales in a more efficient way.
The functions of the rotary k cup filling machine will be constantly enhanced and improved by the team of AFPAK to meet the ever-changing demands of customers.
Nowadays, coffee shops often emphasize that they are "boutique coffee". And more than 90% of stores choose to use light to medium roast to interpret the flavor of raw coffee beans, why is this?
Fine coffee has many claims, but its core pursuit is only one thing - "terroir". Because of the demand for such an original and detailed flavor presentation, "light roast", a roast level has become popular.
In the light-medium roast degree, the coffee itself "terroir" is most easily expressed, bright and lively acidic fruit tones are mostly the flavor that this roast degree wants to present, with hand-pouring, siphoning, Aloha pressure, and other "black" coffee extraction methods, is the most in line with The third wave of the fine coffee core concept of the practice.
Lightly roasted coffee also contains more chlorogenic acid. Many coffee research reports indicate that this ingredient has the effect of raising HDL cholesterol, and liver protection, slowing atherosclerosis and other effects, with the rise of the natural diet in recent years, the boutique black coffee is as good as it gets.
In terms of extraction, since the cell walls of light-roasted coffee are less damaged, we can use "violent" techniques in extraction, which is okay. That is fine grinding (fine sugar size), high water temperature (about 88 - 92 degrees), high water flow stirring (hand brewing pot height, shaking pot pressure, etc.), and high water to powder ratio (about 1:13.33 - 1:16.67).
Of course, this is a rather general statement. Because everyone's preferred flavor is different, of course, the right approach is different for each person.
Light roasting is so popular in the domestic coffee world that many enthusiasts may shake their heads and sigh when they see dark roasted coffee: "herbal". They even think that "only poorer beans use deep roasting techniques to disguise unpleasant flavors" and that "deep-roasted beans are unhealthy for the human body." โฆโฆ
In fact, such an idea is wrong, fine coffee is not unable to deep roast. For example, why do Manteanin and Kenya AA tend to take a deeper roast in the past?
The main reason is because of the origin and processing method, making these two beans have strong acidity, while the deep roast plays a large role in slowing down the stimulation of the acidity on the human tongue, turning it into sweet and mellow merit.
We mostly think of dark roast as burnt and smoky, mainly because the way we handle dark roast is "high heat and quick fry", while Japanese roast insists on "low heat and slow roast". So in the same deep roast, the Japanese method is relatively easy to leave more of the sweetness and fullness of the coffee.
So, is it true that darker roasts don't use good beans because they all taste the same when baked anyway?
Of course not! If you've ever had the pleasure of drinking a very dark roast of a boutique grade coffee bean in an old Japanese tea store, versus a very dark roast of an unusual batch of coffee beans, you'll notice a significant difference in the sweetness, aroma, and layers between the two.
It is definitely not the case that any roaster or any raw bean will taste the same - it depends on the roaster's skill and the quality of the raw beans.
Dark-roasted beans are definitely not unhealthy either. As long as the beans are "properly and skillfully" dark roasted, the effects of coking substances on the human body can be largely avoided. Dark roasted coffee beans also degrade fenugreek, producing more nicotinic acid (commonly known as vitamin B3), which is also a beneficial ingredient for the body.
Unlike lighter roasts, darker roasts provide the aroma and sweetness from the relatively large molecules of "brown pigment" and therefore require a relatively longer extraction time. But also because of the ease of extraction, it is necessary to "minimize disturbance", in other words, "treat the coffee powder as gently as possible", and fill the water slowly in order to achieve these requirements at the same time.
Finally, don't make the mistake of roasting a dark roast coffee just right!

How hot is lemon tea this year? Just look at the momentum of HeyTea's new product launches.
On May 11, HeyTea launched 4 lemon tea products in one go and sold nearly 400,000 cups on the first day, which completely pushed the popularity of lemon tea to a peak.
Will lemon tea, which has always been "unable to go out of Guangdong and Guangxi", take this opportunity to go to the whole country this year and achieve a category explosion?
In the past week, tea drinkers have been paying attention to lemon tea.
On May 11, the Super Burning Lemon Tea series of Hey Tea was officially launched. The new products in this series include 4 types of green popped lemon, rock popped lemon, fragrant popped lemon and three-day limited-sale lime popped lemon. The perfume lemon is the main raw material and is matched with different tea bases.
I went to the store to place an order and found out that the super-burning lemon tea series of Hey Tea combines Cantonese lemon tea with this yearโs hot Thai lemon tea, with lemongrass, cucumber, mint, and other small ingredients.
The taste is very memorable, and the Southeast Asian flavors that are popular this year are also interspersed with it.
The most prominent feature is that every cup of lemon tea has a "storm ice ball", which is visually more icy and cool.

In terms of the selling price, this series of products is 19~21 RMB/cup, which belongs to the "fair price products" in the series of heytea products.
Two days before the launch, the super-burning lemon tea in the Xicha store near me broke out orders. In a few days, there were more than 10,000 check-in notes on "Hey Tea Bursting Lemon Tea" in Xiaohongshu.
Heytea lemon drink reviews
According to HiTea, nearly 400,000 cups of the Shangxin Super Burning Lemon Tea series of drinks were sold on the first day.
And itโs worth mentioning that this time Hey Tea has promoted lemon tea to the whole country:
North China is the TOP2 sales area second only to South China, sales in Beijing and Guangzhou are basically the same, and Shanghai is the country's top selling city.
The hot sale is not unexpected. Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of lemon tea has been rising, as can be seen from the WeChat index, especially after the summer, the popularity continues to rise.
Heytea Lemon tea search
After seeing the new update of Heytea, I would like to discuss two topics:
Hearing that lemon tea is listed on HeyTea, the first curiosity of many people in the industry is: Can Hey Tea make lemon tea a sense of value?
The sense of value is not high, and it has always been a problem to be solved in the lemon tea category. In southern China, the home base of lemon tea, many people have the impression of lemon tea that โa cup of 5 yuan is enough to quench their thirstโ; many northernersโ inertial knowledge of lemon tea is Master Kongโs ice tea.
Observing the new round of HeyTea, it has made several breakthroughs in its sense of value:
With the return of the Super Burning Lemon Tea series, Hey Tea has made a lot of innovations in its products.
What is more surprising is the "Storm Ice Hockey", which breaks through the shape of conventional ice cubes and has more visual memory. Moreover, this ice ball can be slowly melted, or it can be smashed into crushed ice with a chewy feel, which adds to the pleasure of tasting.
It is understood that the "Storm Ice Hockey" is kneaded on-site with crushed ice, and the operation can be completed in one step without adding too much operational burden to the store.
Heytea lemon tea
The hot spring "Thai Green" is the hottest item in this year's lemon tea category. Hey Tea Green Burst uses the "Thai Green" creativity, but removes the risk of the pigment of Thai green tea. The bright green color is presented with kale juice.
In addition, lemongrass, which is rarely used in beverage shops, is added to the fragrant lemon and green lemon, which has a more "Southeast Asian" flavor and more recognizable.
The more familiar the consumer is, the more thorough product transformation is required, and innovations in color, vision, and taste can be found in order to find new reasons to buy.
I did a small-scale survey on the circle of friends, and among the new products that I launched this time, Rockburst Lemon is relatively popular. Everyone has the same reason: the tea is rich in aroma, especially the lemon tea jelly at the bottom adds a sense of tea.
heytea lemon tea drink
It is understood that Xicha has tested more than 30 types of tea, and finally selected two types of oolong tea as the main tea base: Jade Sijichun, Yanguxiang Oolong tea. Emerald four seasons spring, is the first choice for fragrance lovers; while rock bone fragrant oolong tea has a high fragrance and outstanding tea feel, which is preferred by "lucent fragrance lovers".
It can be seen that the bottom of the new tea drink is constantly being renovated and iterated. Last year, lemon tea was popular with duck feces fragrant Phoenix Dancong. This year, Xi tea has been using the more pure and distinctive rock bone fragrant oolong.

After market education, consumers have become more sensitive to the fragrance of tea. This time, many Xiaohongshu bloggers mentioned "tea fragrance" in their check-in notes.
If familiar fruits want to make a sense of value, they must re-establish a set of SOPs. Among them, a perfume lemon with rich aroma, moderate acidity and no bitterness in the peel is the essence.
In order to ensure the freshness of lemons, Hey Tea has also made great efforts in the supply chain:

Some time ago, HiTea launched collagen peptides, and there was a wave of beauty products in the industry.
Consumers can choose to add probiotics (GanedenBC 30) in this super-burning pop lemon tea series.
According to reports, the viability of this probiotic is nearly 8 times higher than that of ordinary yogurt, with 78% of the live bacteria.
Can be safely transported to the intestines. This is also the first time that HiTea has introduced probiotics in its products.
Many tea brands have begun to add health elements to their products. This is also an idea to enhance the value of new teas this year.
The lemon tea that has been complained about "cannot go out of Guangdong and Guangxi" is an "alternative" in the new tea:
If you look back in history, lemon tea has roughly gone through three development cycles.
There has always been a habit of drinking lemon tea in Guangdong and Guangxi. Before 2018, many drink shops on the streets of Guangdong and Hainan used yellow lemons to make lemon tea. A cup of lemon tea after a meal is also a living habit of many locals.
From the end of 2018 to the beginning of 2019, perfume lemons began to be paid attention to by the entire industry. This green lemon with strong aroma and suitable acidity overturned the product mix of lemon tea, and a large number of orchards began to plant perfume lemons.
At this time, the positioning of the tea market is also popular. Some beverage shops have begun to position "lemon tea" as their brand, and lemon tea with perfume lemon as the main raw material has gradually formed a category.
It can be seen on the enterprise search that in 2019 and 2020, the growth rate of newly established lemon tea enterprises exceeded 70% for two consecutive years. However, these companies are concentrated in southern China and have not achieved a national breakthrough. Many consumers north of the Yangtze River do not have a clear understanding of lemon tea.
But this year, the lemon tea category seems to have reached a critical period of outbreak:
At the beginning of the year, "Tailu" products became popular on social media and gained attention on the consumer side, which is the prerequisite for category explosion.
Some brands that focus on lemon tea have also settled their own SOPs in the fields of lemon selection, transportation and storage, and store handling in the past two years. The number of stores has reached several hundred, and they are ready to quickly expand stores.
Tea brands such as Baidao and Baifencha have also launched lemon tea products one after another. The popularity of lemon tea in new tea drinks has taken shape.
The new wave of Hey Tea is a powerful boost to the outbreak of the lemon tea category.
On the one hand, Hey Tea has opened more than 800 stores across the country, covering more than 60 cities, and has a strong ability to guide consumers; on the other hand, Hey Tea has sufficient supply chain advantages to ensure the stability of lemons. Supply, control the production process and standardize the stores, which is more conducive to category promotion.
The new wave of Hey Tea can help lemon tea achieve nationwide coverage. More importantly, let more new tea consumers walk into the store to try lemon tea and love its refreshing taste.
"Let lemon tea go out of Guangdong and Guangxi" is a slogan that has been shouted by the tea drinking circle for many years.
At the beginning of this year, Kamen once predicted that lemon tea has reached the threshold of "brand-driven category".
In May, Hi Tea launched the super-burning explosive lemon tea series, which may be an opportunity for an outbreak of lemon tea category.
Unconsciously, the way of selling coffee has changed.
Someone created a personal IP and earned more than 1 million coffee sales on Tiktok a year;
Someone becomes the owner of the coffee head UP on station B, and a single advertisement charges tens of thousands;
Some brands have become one of the top coffee e-commerce companies through cross-industry joint names.
AFPAKโs "New Coffee Era" topic, letโs talk about today: How do you play the new coffee marketing?
Nowadays, what is the popular way to sell coffee in the market?
Kan Ouli, the founder of Lubit Coffee, sells coffee in his main business and is a Tiktok internet influencer/Bilibili UPer /Zhihu Dashen as his sideline. He has 700,000 vertical coffee fans on the whole network.
Last year, Babitโs entire network sales were 12 million. Among them, Douyinโs sales conversions were more than 1 million, accounting for almost one-tenth of the share (other platforms are unable to place Taobao links). Sales cannot be accurately counted).
Since the first video was released on Douyin at the end of 2019, it has now been recorded in batches, and short videos have been produced around coffee culture science popularization, shop exploration, and evaluation. Now Kan Ouli has been on the whole network (Tiktok, Bilibili, Wechat video, WEIBO, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, etc.), accumulating nearly 100 million views, and many of them have a single play volume of more than 2 million.
In Kan Ouli's view, there is a lot of room for "popularizing" oneself. "Any mature industry will have the rise of personal IP. You can refer to the bartending, chef, and decoration industries. There are big IPs with millions of fans."
"Current coffee consumption in China is largely affected by cultural and popular factors. Few people have a clear understanding of which origin and which beans they want to choose for the drink. The trend of coffee consumption is leading, and IP can play a role in it. ."
At present, Babit is already incubating other coffee accounts. In fact, apart from Babit, new forms of coffee marketing, from big brands to independent cafes, based on IP manufacturing, have begun to blossom everywhere.
The coffee marketing channels are undergoing changes.
Today, like Kan Ouli, there are many stories in the industry about selling coffee through IP innovation.
Sophia, a Tiktok coffee influencer (ID: Sofia and Lumos), an "introductory mentor" for many people in the industry, runs a coffee + simple cafe in Linxia: Lumo Coffee.
"Debut" in the second half of 2018, published his own coffee long video on Douyin, focusing on "coffee knowledge + store opening experience + product testing", and publish 2 8-minute video sharing every week.
Now two years later, Sophia has released more than 200 long videos on the entire network (Tik Tok, Station B, Xiaohongshu), and has accumulated nearly 300,000 fans. The coffee market is also rewarding these bosses who silently do content.
In Sophiaโs coffee shop, about 10% of the customers every day watch the video and stop by to check-in.
Last year Sophia opened a Taobao shop, selling coffee beans and a small number of surroundings. This shop only relies on video diversion. Sophia, who is in the "18th line" small town, supplies beans to more than 30 cafes across the country.
In Shaxian Coffee, Hangzhou, few people know the name of the boss, and they all greet the "county chief" when they come. The logo in the store is the word "County" written horizontally.
They have a set of "Shaxian spirit": good coffee should not be high above, but like Shaxian snacks, spread all over the streets and alleys, delicious and cheap.
Relying on the unique IP cultural connotation and the small shop model, the cup volume of Shaxian Coffee Sunrise is about 400 cups. Plus the sales of retail peripheral products in the store, the annual revenue can exceed 4 million.
Many people remember Yongpu Coffee because it has always been a little lion. This little lion is named "Shi Duanzheng" and is the IP of Yongpu Coffee.
Yongpu Coffee has created IP Shi Duanzheng through more than 400 cross-border joint names and has formed CP with well-known IP brands such as "Pancake Man", Qihua Talk, NetEase Cloud Music, New Weekly, Xiaohongshu, and Japanese Food. It has become one of the representative brands of e-commerce coffee.
A recent hot sale of new coffee marketing is an advertisement taken by Liluxiu for Luckin coffee. It has 100w views at station B and 100 million+ topic readings on Weibo, which have been carried by Tiktok and Xiaohongshu many times.
These 4 stories respectively represent 4 new postures for selling coffee: creating personal IP, creating brand IP, creating cartoon image IP, and using celebrity IP.
In the coffee business field a few years ago, the channel was king.
Cafes rely on store channels, and retail products rely on distribution channels. Later, when online channels rise, whoever has a Tmall store has an advantage.
In the past two years, rent and labor costs have become higher and higher, competition has become fierce, and consumers' demand for brands and products has continued to increase.
A new turning point in coffee marketing appears: channels are no longer the only advantage. Many brands rely on content and IP to attract their own consumer groups.
And this means that this industry is about to enter a more mature stage.
Facing the rise of new coffee marketing forms, Kan Ouli analyzes:
The competition for coffee is shifting from channel competition to attention competition. The coffee war has risen from the "bladder battle" to the "lifestyle battle".
Brand building is no longer the only way to spend money on advertising. Although it is difficult to rely on content to drive, it is also very effective. You have to believe that consumers are human, and they can feel your sincerity.
In the retail field, there is a classic theory of "people and goods market", which can be borrowed to understand the current coffee.
Let me talk about the goods first. In essence, the food industry does not have leapfrog technology. "As far as the coffee industry is concerned, there have been only three major technological changes in the past 100 years. One was the birth of instant, the other was the capsule technology, and the other was the high-pressure extraction technology. In many cases, whether it is offline coffee shops or retail coffee , The blind test can't tell who is who." Kan Ouli said.
Let's talk about it. The entry barrier for e-commerce shelves is very low, and the channels themselves are becoming cheaper and cheaper, but they are fighting for the ability to promote and operate in the later stage.
And only people began to become more and more important. This "person" contains the consumer's attention, as well as the brand charm and personal charm of coffee practitioners.
Give an example of coffee big V:
In Shanghai, there is a coffee blogger named Niu Xiaoka, who has traveled to 1,000 coffee shops around the world for 5 years. He is the top-ranking owner of the coffee category at station B. On platforms such as station B, YouTube, Xiaohongshu, and Toutiao, etc.. Its video playback volume has exceeded 2000W.
Niu Xiaoka did not open a shop. He was a coffee trainer and trader, and now a professional "coffee V". The price of a single advertisement has reached tens of thousands. Many people follow him every day to evaluate coffee and buy coffee.
Many consumers, whether buying coffee online or offline, start with the product, but the continued repurchase in the later period comes from the "soul"-either the brand's core is interesting, or the personal IP is formed, which has a convincing personality.
Just like on Weibo, many people watched Liluxiu's video and couldn't help but order a cup of coffee.
The lifestyle and cultural attributes of coffee are treasures of content.
Sophia told me: "I saw a lot of people leave messages, saying that it was because they watched my video and became a fan of freshly ground coffee. I feel very pleased."
In Sophiaโs view, if coffee practitioners have the opportunity, they must do brand IP/personal IP, which will definitely help business. Even if the traffic is not much in the early stage, there is definitely no problem with small-scale radiation. "It is better than doing nothing. ".
In the new marketing era of coffee, whoever can better express themselves for consumers, who can lead the cultural trend, who can become a social currency, who can always attract the attention of consumers, has a chance to win.
Relying on content and IP, tearing a hole in a large number of gaps, creating a consumer group of its own, is a new force that breaks the circle of coffee.
In the afternoon, enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee is a great thing, but many people find it too troublesome to make coffee on the coffee machine. The birth of the capsule coffee machine has made coffee making very simple and convenient. So how is the capsule coffee machine used?
Since coffee was introduced to our country, it has become more and more popular with us. Nowadays, there are many large and small cafes on the streets and alleys, but many people still like to buy a coffee machine at home or in the company, so that they can enjoy it at any time. The aromatic coffee brings full of energy and vitality throughout the day.
1. When the capsule coffee machine is finished brewing, open the handle, the coffee pod will automatically fall into the trash box. The remaining water is cleaned in the water box and the remaining capsules are cleaned in the trash box, then put back in place.
2. The water tank of the capsule coffee machine should be wiped to dry. Make sure to dry it before using again.
3. Make sure that there are no capsules in the brewing chamber of the capsule coffee machine to avoid corrosion of the coffee machine.
4. If you do not use the capsule washing machine for a long time, you need to wipe it clean and put it back in the box.
The capsule coffee machine is very convenient to operate, can extract coffee with one button, and it is easier to operate than semi-automatic coffee machines and fully automatic coffee machines.
The capsule coffee machine does not need to be disassembled during use, and the used capsules can be directly recycled after being used up, which will not pollute the environment and make the production process healthier.
The capsule used in the capsule coffee machine is completely sealed and does not need to be disassembled during use. It effectively prevents oxidation, can maintain the freshness of the coffee and is automatically filled and pressed at one time. There is no uneven coffee filling and pressing powder, so the coffee that comes out is of higher quality.
How to use the capsule coffee machine
Before using the capsule coffee machine, you must first prepare the machine:
1. Add water: first remove the water tank, open the water tank cover to add water. Note: add up to 1700ML of water, then close the water tank cover and put the water tank back in place.
2. Put the coffee capsule: open the handle, put the coffee capsule into the brewing chamber, and then close the handle.
3. Connect the power cord: Before connecting the power cord, make sure that the switch is in the "0" position.
4. Produce coffee drink: Place the cup on the water tank, press the coffee button
Then you can enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee.
Turn the power switch of the capsule coffee machine to the "1" position. The power indicator light is on, and the coffee machine is heating up. After a minute or so, when the heating indicator light turns on, put the coffee cup on the lid of the water container, and you can make coffee.
Notes on the use of capsule coffee machine:
1. If the capsule coffee machine is brewing coffee for the first time, it is better to use clean water to brew it first.
2, the capsule coffee used must be purchased as specified.
Things with a sense of ritual are always more pleasing. Compared with instant coffee, the advantages of capsule coffee are obvious at a glance. It easily produce American espresso, cappuccino and many other styles. You can choose any flavors of coconut and nut. Everyone can make a cup of fragrant coffee like a coffee master.

Capsule coffee is ground coffee beans into coffee powder, and then packed into aluminum capsules, which eliminates the problems of sourness and oxidation of ordinary coffee beans or coffee powder after contact with air.
The coffee made every time is very fragrant because the capsule preserves the freshness of the coffee very well. It can be said that each cup retains the freshness of the coffee beans within 4 hours after roasting and grinding, so the taste is better! And the oil foam is also very rich and smooth. In addition, the taste has become more and more perfect, the room for choice is becoming wider and wider.
Coffee has been around for many years, but it has not developed faster. The reason is its particularity: the preservation of coffee beans. Everyone who makes coffee knows that the shelf life of green coffee beans can be as long as one year. If it is roasted coffee beans, they can only be stored for 15 days at most after being in contact with air, and the coffee beans will have a bad taste. If it is ground coffee powder, it can only be left for 10 hours after being in contact with air, and the coffee powder will have a bad taste.
It is precise because of this characteristic that it is difficult for coffee to travel far away. It is precisely this way, only in the coffee-producing area can you drink truly fresh and delicious coffee.
Because: once the packaged coffee beans or coffee powder are opened, the same freshness problem still exists. This is because the packaging of coffee beans or coffee powder is mostly about 1KG. A pack of beans or powder can make more than 150 cups of coffee. Only when it is used up within 3 days is the freshest way to drink. From the first cup of drink, the taste has already started to change.
In other words: coffee beans or ground coffee can only guarantee the freshness of the first cup of coffee.
It is in this context that coffee capsules are another way of processing coffee.
Because this small package of coffee completely transcends the limitations of time and space. It can be drunk after 1 year, and the taste remains the same.
In this way, the quality of coffee can be kept fresh for up to 12 months. Every time you open a packet, it is equivalent to a cup of ground coffee to make coffee in a real sense. This must be the freshest, and the cups are fresh.
Put a coffee capsule into the capsule coffee machine, and it will make a cup of espresso in 25 seconds. You can make all kinds of espresso dishes at will.
The key to good or bad coffee is freshness. A bag of coffee beans loses its aroma after 7 days after being opened. The coffee powder only maintains freshness for a few hours. Coffee capsules are high-quality selected coffee beans that are filled immediately after roasting and grinding. Each capsule can be made Produce freshly roasted coffee.
The coffee capsule is sealed with aluminum foil oxygen-free using space capsule technology, which can keep the filled fresh coffee powder stable for two years.
Some manufacturers specialize in blending and baking to form different flavors. Consumers can choose according to their own preferences, and the taste is stable.
Because the latest generation of soft capsule coffee machine adopts Italian professional acupuncture technology and pressure system, it can extract the charming ocher red crema. The produced espresso is completely comparable to semi-automatic commercial coffee machines in professional cafes, and the effect is better than that of home automatic coffee machines Greatly improved.

Coffee capsule production and use
The name of coffee capsule is completely translated from the English name. The English meaning of capsule is capsule. Although it is a drink, it has a name like medicine. However, the name does vividly reflect the characteristics of coffee capsules. Like medicinal capsules, the gum packaging contains powdery substances. The advantage of coffee capsules is that because the texture of the capsule wall is relatively hard, the prototype can be well maintained at high temperature, so high-pressure steam can be injected into the capsule, so that the coffee can completely precipitate the crema, that is, coffee fat, under the action of pressure. Strong espresso, this can better ensure the aroma of the coffee. The main brands that produce coffee capsules are: Nestlรฉโs Nespresso, JDE Zhenyinโs TASSIMO, K-cup, Italyโs Oro (Ovo, Lavazza, Monodor, Gaggiaโs ecaffe, and Korean Allcream, etc.).
The concept of coffee capsules was born in 1976, dedicated to capsule coffee machines. Under the leadership of Eric Favre, Nestlรฉ launched Nespresso, the world's first coffee capsule product. As a coffee connoisseur, Eric Favre visited countless cafes in Italy and tasted thousands of different flavors of espresso coffee. He found different ways for the boss to make espresso at a coffee shop in Rome called Sant' Eustachio. When he operated the espresso machine, he often pulled the handle because he thought the machine was malfunctioning, causing a large amount of compressed gas to enter the cup. Therefore, he was inspired to develop the coffee capsule products that people see nowadays. And in 1986, Nestlรฉ officially independent of its coffee capsule division, Nespresso SA was formally established, and the inventor/founder Eric Favre became CEO. In 1989, Eric Favre left Nestlรฉ and established his own independent coffee capsule company MONODOR, hoping to maximize his life-long work on coffee technology. In 2000, began to cooperate with LAVAZZA to promote its coffee capsule technology and products.
When making this kind of capsule, the coffee beans are specially processed to make coffee powder and then sealed in an aluminum foil space similar to "fruit jelly". At the same time, the capsule is filled with non-toxic inert gas to extend the shelf life and re-sterilize. When it is necessary to brew coffee, put the coffee capsule into the special capsule coffee machine and press the brewing button without other operations.
In addition to coffee capsules, there is another coffee powder pouch that is different from coffee capsules. English is coffee pod and French is dosette. Coffee machines are mostly made by small appliance manufacturers in Germany or the Netherlands, so coffee powder pods are sometimes It is also written as coffee pad, which comes from German writing. Chinese is sometimes translated as: coffee powder pods, coffee biscuits, coffee pods or coffee pods. The difference between capsules and capsules is that, generally speaking, capsules are entirely made of filter paper or plastic with special materials, much like tea bags. Therefore, it is easier in the production process, less material waste, and no excessive threat to the environment. However, due to the limitation of the powder bag material, water vapor cannot be injected into the powder bag, only hot water can be injected, so the preparation The coffee produced is not as pure as capsule coffee, but because of its relatively low price, it is also favored by many people. The main brands that produce coffee powder pouches are: Senseo, Tassimo, etc.
Coffee capsules can only be used with corresponding machines. This is greatly restricted in the choice of coffee, especially Nespresso capsules. Although their capsule coffee machines are provided by many brands, capsules can only be used by Nestle itself, not with other brands. Capsules are universal. The capsules of LAVAZZA, GAGGIA, and Caffitaly system are universal.

The guy born in the 1990s made coffee and earns one million a year. At such a young age, he has become a relatively wealthy man in the United States. Let's see what his secret is! This is a true story, and the guy personally emailed his best partner afpak official website https://www.afpakmachine.com/.
"What kind of choice determines what kind of life. To become a successful person, you must be forward-looking, because every temporary decision may become a factor that will promote your success in the future." Jimmy is the chairman and chairman of the company. General manager, many people around Jimmy admire his good luck, but Jimmy believes that he was able to achieve todayโs results not because of good luck, but because he insisted on taking a path that suits him and giving full play to With regard to my own expertise, I am always looking after everything, thinking about and discovering those setbacks and difficulties in advance, so as to effectively reduce or avoid risks.
In 2015, Jimmy graduated from Andrew University. Jimmy majored in international finance and trade. Holding his own diploma, he nominated one company after another to promote himself. After running for a month, I did not find a suitable job. He was very depressed. When he returned to his father's coffee shop, he couldn't help crying. It is often said that men have tears, and this young man feels helpless in planning his future career. The lost direction, time passing day by day, is very worrying.
Although Jimmy's father's shop was small, it had many loyal customers. One of the words of an old customer made the guy make a temporary important decision.
"I don't want to do the kind of work that looks at my head at a glance. I do things that I am not interested in every day. It is very boring." The boy said to his father. The father is doing coffee garnishing in the coffee shop, and he understands his son's mind. But what else can he do besides teaching his son how to make coffee, he is also troubled by this.
An old customer was reading a magazine, and he said to himself: "You can take over your dad's job and expand the scale of the coffee shop." Jimmy thought this was a good idea. Talk to old customers. Since then, Jimmy has been learning about coffee from his father in an ordinary afternoon. Perhaps he has been intrigued since childhood. Jimmy's coffee is very good, but he wants to expand. The thinking of young people is naturally more leaping than the thinking of the older generation. He is not limited to just buying ready-made coffee. He aimed at the idea of โโpackaging coffee and selling his own fine coffee to various places.
He found a very suitable coffee capsule filling machine on the Internet, a coffee packaging machine from AfPak. He believes that his coffee taste and quality are much better than ordinary coffee on the market. He wants to sell coffee to consumers who want to pursue the quality of life, but lack the skills of grinding coffee beans and brewing coffee. Of course, there are some who can grind coffee. High-end customer groups who want to enjoy high-quality and fast life with coffee beans and brewed coffee. The filling capsule coffee machine of Afpak company can retain the original flavor of his coffee for a long time, and it can also maintain the aroma, the quality is stable, and the brewing is very convenient. He has escaped from the traditional form of selling coffee, relying on the Internet and excellent machines to sell his coffee to various places.
He succeeded. Jimmy wrote to Afpak staff via email: "If you hadn't met your company with such a good machine and helped me so much, I think it would be more difficult."
A person who dares to venture, dare to break away from the inherent thinking, work hard, succeed is doomed to three minutes by hard work. If you are also interested in making coffee, you can go to the AfPak official website https://www.afpakmachine.com/ to view and order
As we all know, the more famous capsule systems are Nespresso and illy, and Dolce Gusto Penguin capsules belonging to Nestlรฉ.
However, I found that the hotel is equipped with this type of capsule as standard in a hotel in the United States. Later, I found that this is called k-cup. Starbucksโ capsule coffee is used in this series. I packed it all back. It must be calculated on the cost of my accommodation. Please spray it gently), about 50 capsules--!
But there has been no coffee machine to use. By chance, I found Cobweb ordered the third issue of the magazine "xx man" and sent a simple real cup capsule machine (manual). This is where the order is today. 46 yuan, three magazines + capsules machine.
Now I found that the spider web Tmall store only costs 39.9 yuan, which is a drop of 6 yuan. . . .
Let me talk about the prices of the two capsules first. The k-cup capsules are obviously expensive, generally, 12 capsules are 84 yuan, and one capsule is about 7 yuan, while Nespresso is about 3.5 yuan, which is only half of his price.
Speaking of Nespresso, it is a history of blood and tears. At that time, one capsule was 7 yuan in China, and one capsule in Britain and Germany was very cheap. I bought 250 capsules. Before they arrived in China, Nespresso (China) announced that the price of domestic capsules would be reduced. Lost 15 dollars, the heart is cut!
Next, I will enter the unpacking and use section, but I am not sensitive to the American style in the evaluation. I occasionally drink this week's coffee and add one-fifth of the milk. . . .
Because k-cup and Nespresso are two types of coffee, I don't know much about the American style. I think that the American style is concentrated + boiled water. Is it possible to do this directly?
Nespresso capsule machine purchased on Amazon Spain
About 550 yuan, comes with five boxes of coffee capsules (usually only 16 capsules, this is a gift of 50 capsules), superimposed with the serial number of the German official website to give 50 capsules, the aunt's tutorial is as follows (now expired), and then easy to get delivery, Post an order to get an Amazon gift of $20, which is super cheap in the end.
Look at the packaging box, domestically produced, and it's very simple. The normal k-cup capsule system is electric. Although the pressure is still very small, even similar to hand pressure, I am not going to insist on drinking this kind of capsule. It is too expensive and I am not used to it. I think that electricity is a waste. It's okay.
After opening it, place it in the box like this, then pull it out to fit together, and insert it from above, as shown in the figure below:
The fit is successful. There are three water mark marks on it. They are 10 ounces, 8 ounces and 6 ounces. It is recommended to 6 or 8 ounces. 10 ounces of water is too much.
(1) Put in a cup, but a large cup, because there is really a lot of water. . . .
(2) Put it in the capsule, one Kcups $1+, it's not cheap
(3) Add water, the base of the capsule machine and the water tank have a needle respectively, which can pierce the bottom of the capsule, as shown in the figure
(4) Manually pressurize, press down at a constant speed and slowly
(5) A cup of American style is successful without any creama.
In order to compare, he moved him to the dining table, and he also connected the patch panel, which was quite tossing.
Letโs also make a cup of Nespresso. The capsule used this time is volluto. The official description is โVolluto has a pleasant aroma. It has a round mouthfeel and exudes a sweet biscuit aroma and a light fruity aroma. This coffee It is made from a blend of Arabica beans from Brazil and Colombia, and the light roasting process makes it more delicate and vivid."
Milky white capsules, I call him Xiaobai. In fact, red looks better.
(1) Put a Nespresso coffee capsule (3.5 yuan per piece)
(2) Press the small cup, 1 shot is concentrated.
(3) The thickness of creama is 0.5cm, which is quite standard.
1. The k-cup has no grease at all, and the taste is like hanging ear coffee
2. Of course, the concentration of k-cup cannot be compared with espresso
3. I am not used to this taste, it feels like hanging ear coffee, not American at all. . .
I am used to espresso only adding milk, half of which is to put cold milk first, and then add espresso so that the taste will be more layered. Sometimes in the morning, I donโt want to open the refrigerator door to get milk and have two sips of espresso alone.
The two are of different types. K-cup is American, Nespresso is Italian, but Nespresso can be American.
If you like coffee, I suggest that 80% of people buy Nespresso. Although a single cup of coffee is more expensive, it is always more than 7,000 to buy a fully automatic one. After a year and a half, it breaks and is not willing to repair it (what nonsense?), one cup of coffee must be drunk in half a month and a month, and it needs to be cleaned, which saves a lot of things. The other 10% recommend buying illy, which is a bit expensive and looks good.
If it weren't for so many capsules, I wouldn't drink this coffee to death, but there are a few English break teas, which are not bad.
I strongly don't recommend you to try it. After I finish drinking these capsules, I will just hang up what is worth buying and leave it for you with free shipping.
Finally, if you like coffee, just buy a Nespresso. Illy's aliens are so good-looking. Consider one at the next event. By the way, buy this Nespresso in Spain (550 yuan, get 100 capsules, bring 50 free Capsules, get 20 dollars for the order, and the final is equivalent to free).
Finally, thank you all for watching.

Capsule coffee production principle
Capsule coffee is to seal the ground and roasted coffee powder in a special capsule within 4 hours (currently aluminum is generally more environmentally friendly). It needs to be put into a special coffee machine and extracted by standard procedures.
How to keep capsule coffee fresh
The standardized ground and roasted coffee powder is quickly put into a capsule composed of a seal, a filter membrane, a heat-resistant container, etc., and immediately filled with nitrogen to seal. Because it is quickly sealed in a light-proof, dry and inert gas-filled capsule, the loss of aromatic substances in the coffee powder is minimized, so the original flavor and taste of the coffee can basically be retained. Of course, this quality cannot be preserved forever. The shelf life of capsule coffee currently on the market is usually 12-18 months.
Capsule coffee characteristics
Unique flavor. During the roasting process of coffee beans, the coffee oil attaches aroma components to the powder in a gaseous form. Ordinary brewing methods cannot dissolve most of the fat, so the flavor and taste are not good. However, the capsule coffee uses high pressure to make high-temperature water vapor pass through the coffee powder in a short time, which can emulsify the fat in the water and form a layer. The foam of the cream preserves the aroma of the coffee.
Stable quality. After roasting and grinding, the coffee powder is stored in contact with air, and the coffee loses a lot of high-quality flavor.
The production process of capsule coffee can prevent the coffee powder from oxidation, acidification and aroma volatilization. In addition, the production of capsule coffee on the assembly line is fully standardized, which basically guarantees the stability of the quality of each cup of coffee and maintains the original flavor and mellowness.
Easy and fast brewing
Use an Afpak capsule coffee machine to make a cup of coffee. Put the capsule into the corresponding position of the afpak coffee machine and press the switch, just wait less than 1 minute. The operations of grinding, filling, pressing powder, and cleaning coffee grounds of ordinary coffee machines are completely omitted, which saves time!
Why choose capsule coffee
Aftermarket analysis on the entire network of e-commerce platforms, it is roughly known that the target consumer group of capsule coffee is: consumers who want to pursue the quality of life but lack the skills of grinding coffee beans and brewing coffee. Of course, there are also some consumers who can grind coffee beans and brew coffee. , But a high-end customer group who wants to enjoy a high-quality and fast life.
Moreover, the Afpak capsule coffee machine also has the functions of automatic power-off and automatic storage and recycling of aluminum capsules, which is very environmentally friendly!

Do you know what is the most popular configuration among guests in a luxury hotel room?
Not a Bluetooth speaker, not an AA grade bath accessories, but a seemingly humble coffee machine
If you want to quickly judge whether a hotel is really high-end, a very intuitive point: Is it an instant or a coffee machine in the guest room.
For people who donโt know coffee, this is just a machine, better than nothing. In the eyes of more and more people, a good coffee machine is a symbol of hotel taste.
In China, coffee has gradually escalated from a trend to a lifestyle within reach of everyone. Those who can afford to stay in boutique hotels are naturally no longer satisfied with a pack of instant coffee bags from the minibar.
During my hotel business trips over the years, I have also developed the habit of observing the brands of capsule coffee in the guest rooms and found that major hotels have really made great efforts in this small world.
Today, I will talk to you about the hidden small benefits of the hotel rooms-capsule coffee. Next time you stay in a hotel, might as well pay attention to whether there is one you like?
Welcome to contact AFPAK to get more details about Nespresso coffee capsule filling sealing machines
The hotel's coffee machine brand almost determines what quality coffee you can drink.
Because most of the capsule coffee machines and capsules on the market have a relationship between a carrot and a pit. To use a certain brand of the coffee machine, you have to match the capsule of that brand, just like an Apple mobile phone can only use an Apple data cable. One reason.
Compared with fresh coffee beans, the biggest advantage of capsule coffee is that it is easy to store. The ground coffee powder is sealed in a small box containing nitrogen, and it is usually stored for more than two years and still maintains good quality.
Nespresso, the world's first coffee capsule product, was invented in 1976 by Nestlรฉ, the world's largest food company.
Abandoning the wrong commercial market positioning, Nestlรฉ was able to completely open up the situation by opening up the home and hotel markets and set the precedent of the times.
Things with a sense of ritual are always more pleasing. Compared with instant coffee, the advantages of capsule coffee are obvious at a glance. Easily produce a variety of styles such as American, Espresso, and Cappuccino. You can choose any flavors of coconut and nuts. Everyone can make a cup of aromatic coffee like a coffee master.
Coupled with the modern look and high value, the size equivalent to the ipad does not occupy a place, the Nespresso series coffee capsule machine has become the hotel's favorite "guest seat".
Nowadays, Nespresso is the most photographed in the hotel.
After seeing the sweetness, the coffee manufacturers did not show weakness, and started to develop their own capsule coffee system. The illy coffee machine, or Lavazza LAVAZZA, also began to gradually appear in hotel rooms.
Places of appearance: The Parisian Macao, Courtyard by Marriott, Chengdu Niccolo, Hangzhou Oceanwide Diaoyutai
Part of the reason is the single-handedly seizing the first market. The large variety of capsule flavors and convenient use are the reasons why many five-star and boutique hotels cannot refuse Nespresso.
In addition to the 29 types of capsules currently officially provided, it is also compatible with third-party capsules and is currently the only coffee machine that has third-party capsules.
Different capsule colors correspond to different flavors. A total of six series of basic flavors can be divided. Novices can remember a simple principle: the darker the color, the stronger the flavor.
Many flavor choices can sometimes be a sweet burden. If you really don't know how to choose, you might as well take a look at the following special series.
The capsule packaging of the flavor series is accompanied by a special pattern, which is the easiest to identify. Add vanilla, chocolate, caramel, milk and other factors to perfectly balance the complex flavor of coffee. A cup of fancy coffee with a lovely taste can be prepared in minutes. Friends who have just entered the pit of coffee can choose this series.
Named directly after the origin of coffee, this series of capsules is highly personalized and is a boon for serious coffee lovers.
The fruit acidity of Colombia, the floral scent of Ethiopia, and the sweetness of Nicaragua, fully tap the unique qualities of local coffee beans, and fully demonstrate the unique terroir characteristics of each producing area.
With a light sip, the body and mind will instantly fly from the room at this moment to the densely forested mountains of Sumatra.
The highlight of Nespresso is also the most classic series. The official introduction is that the taste is mild, round and balanced. Several flavors are indeed very durable. They can be flexibly matched with sugar or milk, and they are definitely not worse than the concentration of street cafes.
In addition, if you have a collection addiction, Nespresso's annual limited edition capsules are also worthy of attention. The strong regional or festive atmosphere is engraved on the high-value packaging. As for the taste, treat it as an out-of-the-box surprise.

The Italian national treasure coffee ILLY is considered a regular customer of the coffee circle.
Someone asked on Quora: What is the best coffee brand in the eyes of Italians?
First praise answer: "There is no doubt that it is illy. Every Italian will tell you that although it is expensive, it is indeed the best."
ILLY's capsule coffee is called Iperespresso, which is different from Nespresso's wide variety of flavors. ILLY advocates less and more refined, and only 7 capsule flavors are officially available.
Although the capsule selection is small and the average price is high, it can't hold the countless quality of pure ring powder-only focus on the origin of the single product espresso, 100% selected Aracabi coffee beans, each one is conscientious.
More precisely, ILLY's capsule is a 7g standard coffee can, which is generally divided into blended coffee and single-origin coffee.
Blended coffee is divided into red medium roast, black deep roast, green medium roast flavor and low caffeine (signature flavor, caffeine is 0.05% of the red can) according to the roasting degree, and blue American filter.
In the later period, single-product coffees divided by origin were successively launched: brown single-product Brazilian coffee, brown-red single-product Guatemala, and yellow single-product Ethiopia.
The almost impeccable capsule, matched with their coffee machine-it can be said that it is the capsule coffee machine with the program closest to the professional equipment on the market, and the taste is invincible.
The general capsule is directly pierced and used, while the illy capsule is filled with water from the top opening, and the water flows through the compressed coffee powder block through low pressure, which simulates the pre-embedded function of a professional coffee machine, and then performs standard extraction at 9 atmospheres. The second stage of extraction is made into espresso.
If you are an avid coffee lover, then there is no doubt that you will get a cup of more stable mellow coffee from ILLY in the same 30s.

Julius Meinl, commonly known as "Little Red Riding Hood Coffee", is a Viennese national treasure coffee brand. It has been in the European coffee circle for more than 100 years. The name is quite famous, but its domestic popularity is not high.
The logo is a silhouette of a young man wearing a Fez hat with red tassels,
Used to commemorate the far-reaching impact of the Turkish Ottoman Empire's introduction of coffee to Vienna in 1683
As one of the oldest coffee roasters in the world, Julius Meinl spends a lot of time and energy to ensure the high quality of coffee. The green beans are mainly sourced from the Arabica highlands, the worldโs main coffee producing areas: Brazil, Central and South America, East Africa , Ethiopia, India and Papua Island in New Guinea.
For more than 150 years, Julius Meinl has been spreading across Viennaโs cafes and has become a hotbed of creativity and inspiration. It sells not only coffee and flavors, but also romantic poetic culture.
Artists, poets and writers from all over the world burst into inspiration here, drink it, and find the unique hedonistic culture of Viennese coffee.
During the 2008 European Cup, Julius Meinl built the world's largest cafe and launched a series of capsules.
There is only one model of the Julius Meinl capsule coffee machine. A poem is engraved on the side of the fuselage, as if only one capsule and one button are needed to bring the coffee culture of Vienna to your side.
The Inspresso capsule series can be divided into four flavors: concentrated, super concentrated, classic big cup, and low-factor. They are all composed of very special blends, such as the strongest taste of Ristretto Intenso, and the selection of top South American and East African Arabica beans. Paired with Asian high-quality Robusta beans, it has a very strong penetrating power.
In addition to the taste, another highlight of the capsules output by Inspresso is the amazing compatibility, which is compatible with Nespresso and Turmix Essenza.
, DeLonghi Lattissima and many other brands and models of coffee machines.
Because of the small crowd, hotels that use Julius Meinl capsule coffee machines in their guest rooms are also rare. The Kempinski Hotel Shanghai is one of the few.
One is a representative of European high-end hotels, and an exclusive coffee brand for European celebrities. The two styles also fit together.

Although Starbucks is often hacked by the specialty coffee party, I have to admit that most Chinese people opened the new world of coffee at Starbucks. Nowadays, there are still many people who have a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening, and they cannot do without it. .
Starbucks and Nestlรฉ jointly launched 24 capsule series last year, which gathered all the classic flavors of Starbucks, such as "comprehensive coffee", "single-producing coffee", and classic beverages such as caramel macchiato and cappuccino. Made with 100% Arabica coffee beans.
Capsules need to be used with Nespresso or Dolce Gusto, another capsule coffee machine brand owned by Nestlรฉ.
Location: Anantara Sanya Resort
Lavazza is almost unknown to everyone in Italy. From a small grocery store to the coffee kingdom, this coffee brand with the traditional Italian family color has gone through four generations and a whole century, and finally became the leader of espresso.
It is also a model of Italian coffee, LAVAZZA is often compared with ILLY.
ILLY emphasizes 100% Arabica beans and relatively shallow roasting, while LAVAZZA really caters to the taste of espresso lovers, many of its capsules are suitable for drinking with pure black coffee, and a small cup of coffee is endless aftertaste.
Lavazza's capsule coffee technology was also invited by NASA to relieve astronauts from coffee addiction.
Coffee capsules with more than 12 flavors are available, providing coffee with strengths ranging from 5 to 13 and there are also several original single-origin coffees.
It should be noted that its capsule has two systems, Lavazza Blue and Lavazza Espresso Point, which are not compatible with each other.
By the way, not long ago, Lavazza's first flagship store in China landed in Jing'an Temple, Shanghai. Although Lavazza had several stores in China before, it has not been able to arouse any splashes. I donโt know if it can really enter the sight of Chinese coffee consumers this time. What?
Place of appearance: breakfast room or executive lounge
The capsule coffee machines mentioned above all appeared in the hotel rooms. Let's talk about it at the end. Franke Pura is a fully automatic capsule coffee machine that is often seen in hotel breakfast restaurants or executive lounges.
The brand Franke is a century-old multinational company in Switzerland. It has a top position in the field of kitchen systems. It often appears on McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, and even Airbus A380. Its product positioning and quality are all world-class.
Letโs get back to the story of Franke Pura. Donโt look at its ugly appearance. In fact, this coffee machine is very valuable-starting at 75K RMB, the price is far beyond the budget of an average family.
But as far as the hotel is concerned, this coffee machine is the existence of no loss. Putting one in a restaurant or lounge can solve a lot of worries, do not require much maintenance, and save the cost of hiring a barista. The operation is simple, all kinds of fancy coffee make you have a good drink, it is really convenient.
What is your favorite capsule coffee brand?
Welcome to leave a message to share with us
What will young people eat in the future? Michelin if you have time, and ffit8 if you donโt have time.
What exactly is a portion of healthy food? Can a low-sugar and low-fat diet meet the needs of a healthy lifestyle? How to distinguish and acquire the knowledge of healthy nutrition? A bio geek who changed his โbull heartโ chose to use protein bars and tried to discuss these issues clearly in the language familiar to Gen Z.
Recently, BAI Zhu Yuanxin (Cindy) and Zhang Guangming, the founder of the health food brand Ffit8, had a chat on this topic. We organized this chat into a manuscript to talk about our understanding of healthy food and a healthy lifestyle.
ffit8 protein products
01
Cindy: Can you first introduce yourself and Ffit8 in one sentence?
Zhang Guangming: I am Zhang Guangming. I am a bio geek and โtechnological old Chinese doctorโ who has changed my โbull heartโ. This is my position for myself. We hope to use technological innovation to make young people eat healthier. Based on this vision, we created the brand FFIT8 PROTEIN. The main product, of course, is based on high-quality protein, providing young people with convenient, tasty, and effective healthy choices.
Cindy: You used to be the co-founder of Flight Butler, and also an angel investor in even coffee and e-driver. There are many people who call you โBright Principalโ. What we are curious about is what opportunity is it for you to get started thinking about making protein bars?
Zhang Guangming: This opportunity is that I have changed my โheartโ. During my physical examination in 2016, I found out that I had heart disease, which was actually congenital, but I only found out when I was older. At that time, I had an operation and replaced a piece of bovine heart valve on the heart. After changing the โbull heartโ, I felt that the whole personโs โdisposition has changed drasticallyโ, so I started to become interested in health knowledge. Therefore, it is said that the heavens will be relegated to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first change their hearts.
After that, I began to have a strong interest in health knowledge, and I felt that my mission had changed. After the operation, I learned a lot of knowledge and content related to healthy nutrition. At that time, there was a public health organization called โHappy Weight Loss Educationโ in the flight steward. I became a theoretical researcher and founder of weight management and nutrition guidance in the organization. At that time, a system was formed. I brought more than 30,000 people to the online fat reduction camp.
The title of โHeadmaster of Brightnessโ was obtained at that time, and this organization was also the embryonic form of FFIT8 later. In this process, I have learned some of the pain points of Chinese young people in dietary health and body management, and gradually formed the vision and idea of creating FIT8.
Cindy: We are curious about what you had for your recent meal? In order to pursue health, what kind of eating habits do you usually maintain?
Zhang Guangming: I just ate a protein bar. Itโs very late at noon, and there is a tight queue between the two meetings, so I will eat a protein bar on the road and a second protein bar when I go to the office. For breakfast, I usually eat two eggs and a carton of milk. When it comes to eating, I have a principle, that is, you must eat one meal every day, and at most one meal a day.
Cindy: How do you define โwellโ?
Zhang Guangming: I often say that I want to have a good meal. This is actually related to the concept of FIT8. We have a concept of FIT8: Michelin if we have time to eat, and FIT8 if we donโt have time to eat.
This means that our daily diet is actually divided into two kinds, one is to enjoy food, such as ourselves, or dining with family and friends, we need a long time to enjoy the process of eating and enjoy the food brought to us. The pleasure of enjoying the diversity of food sources and the nutritional balance of food. This is what I mean to have a good meal every day. No matter how busy we are, we must strive to get some time every day to enjoy food with family and friends.
The other is to fill your stomach quickly and healthily. How can we efficiently supplement energy, supplement nutrition, and solve a meal quickly? Our ffit8 is based on this logic, using a convenient and fast protein bar to solve a meal in a fast 8 seconds. Protein bars not only have enough nutrients but also the protein that we lack.
Letโs go back to the so-called good meal. At present, most people are hovering in the process of eating well. Except when there is plenty of time, we still need to control calories as much as possible. We need to control the structure of nutrition and calorie intake, otherwise we will consume calories. People will gain weight easily if they enter the surplus.

Cindy: We know that the three major nutrients the human body needs are sugar, fat, and protein. We see that some emerging beverage brands focus on sugar-free, but FIT8 uses protein as a breakthrough. What kind of industry observation is this based on?
Zhang Guangming: After I fell ill, I gained a new understanding of nutrition and health. I found that the main health problems faced by young people are actually caused by unreasonable diet. Everyone is too busy now, and there is no condition to eat well. In a hurry, the types of foods you can choose from are very single. Most of the convenience foods and snacks that we can see in convenience stores have a common feature. They are often high in oil and sugar. In other words, it is high calorie and low protein.
These high-calorie, low-protein foods have indeed brought a lot of convenience to our lifestyle, and have gradually become part of everyoneโs lifestyle. But they have their own problems. These foods will cause us to consume too many calories, and the excess calories will be stored as fat, making people fatter as they eat, which in turn will bring a lot of burden to the body.
This is the problem that young people are facing in terms of diet. In fact, everyone has known this for a long time, but in the current environment, there are too few low-calorie, high-protein healthy foods for us to choose from. Many times we really have no choice. When we are in a hurry, there are too few choices. We are forced to eat a lot of convenient foods that are not healthy enough.

Here is a set of data. At present, the average daily protein intake of Chinese people is about 58.5 grams, but in the โChina Food and Nutrition Development Outlineโ issued by the General Office of the State Council, it is recommended that the daily protein intake of Chinese people by 2020 Should reach 78 grams, there is a gap of about 20 grams.
Letโs look at developed countries. Japanโs per capita daily protein intake is 94 grams, while that of the United States is 105 grams. In contrast, the average daily protein intake per capita of the Chinese as a whole is not enough. From the perspective of nutrition, what is the biggest difference between protein, fat, and sugar? Protein is the basic raw material of our body. 3% of our protein is renewed every day. They form our skin and muscles.
Letโs take an example. For example, we have to metabolize every day, but our body has no way to store protein, which means that we need to consume protein in food from the outside world every day to maintain metabolism and basic functions. If the protein is not enough, it will damage the metabolism of the muscles, and then affect the collagen and even the secretion of hormones.
So we see that many girls tend to be grumpy or sleep poorly when dieting to lose weight. This is because although they control their calories, they donโt eat enough protein and there are problems with hormone secretion. For example, some girls control their diet too much when they lose weight, that the hormones are cut off, and even the โgreat auntโ also goes away. This kind of diet, even if the weight loss is reduced, there will be loss of collagen, resulting in loose skin and broken meat. This is the damage to the body caused by simply controlling calories without taking in enough protein.

Cindy: Very important science. In fact, everyone has a certain misunderstanding or stereotype about protein products. Some people, including me, may think that protein products mean a large can of protein powder, which is exclusive to muscular men.
Zhang Guangming: Indeed, in the consumer sector, people will have such misunderstandings and prejudices. For example, everyone has the awareness of protein supplementation, but when it comes to protein supplementation, many people may respond by eating eggs and drinking milk, but in fact, this is only one thing and not the other.
For example, an egg is about 50 grams, and the protein content is about 5 to 6 grams. If you only rely on eating eggs to supplement protein, then to meet the standards recommended by the State Council, we will have to eat 15 to 20 eggs every day. It is definitely difficult for us to eat. . I also refute a rumor here that some people say that raw eggs are better for absorption, but this is actually wrong. The absorption rate of boiled eggs can reach 99%, but the absorption rate of raw eggs is only 60%. This is because raw eggs are prone to problems in colony control. In addition to hygiene considerations, there is an enzyme in raw eggs that will also block the absorption of protein in the eggs, but after the eggs are heated, the colony and enzyme problems can be solved. In addition, raw eggs are fluid, and will quickly slip from the stomach to the intestines after eating, and the time available for digestion is much shorter than that of cooked eggs.
Another example is milk. The protein content of milk is about 3 to 3.5 grams per 100 grams. If we drink milk to supplement protein, we will drink a lot of milk every day. But for Chinese people, many people are actually lactose intolerant. Drinking more milk will cause diarrhea, or cause some adverse physical reactions.
ffit8 protein bar
In comparison, the efficiency of protein powder is much higher. However, in the past, protein powders were often only used as sports supplements in sports and fitness circles, such as the common protein powder buckets. This gave everyone a stereotype that only โmuscle menโ would use protein powder. The fact is that even if people who need muscle gain are the main force in the protein powder market in the past, other people, such as girls with body management needs, actually have the need to supplement protein, which is a very important nutritional basis.
Cindy: This is why the protein powder launched by FIT8 is packaged in a portable red bottle?
Zhang Guangming: Yes, we have made some optimizations for the lifestyle. We have added some probiotics to the protein powder to make them taste better and more soluble. We hope that young people will have one more convenient and good-looking lifestyle in their daily lifestyle. For good protein supplements, we believe that consumersโ consumption concepts will gradually change.
Cindy: When FIT8 communicates with young consumers, in addition to making a fuss about the senses and making our products more beautiful in appearance, what other ways are there to convey this healthy knowledge and ideas?
Zhang Guangming: This is actually one of our headaches. Nowadays, the pace of life of young people is fast, and the proportion of people who take the initiative to learn is decreasing. As a โtechnological old Chinese medicine doctorโ, I go to tell people how to better absorb protein. In fact, many people are not interested. Everyone pays more attention to whether this product has the high appearance, good taste, cool or not, whether eating this thing is a lifestyle that conforms to the trend. So our approach is to stop talking about the complexity, first use the most simple and direct product features to guide consumers to complete the first consumption, and then slowly let consumers feel the value of the product to them. The value of health takes time to settle, and the popularization of health knowledge also takes time.
In fact, apart from us, the whole society is currently promoting the popularization of health knowledge, whether it is in the fitness circle, in the nutrition circle, or at the national level. We have also seen that everyoneโs lifestyle has gradually changed. Fitness people need to supplement protein to repair muscle damage, pregnant mothers need to supplement protein for rich nutrition, children and adolescents need to supplement protein to promote skeletal muscle development, and the elderly are in the recovery period from illness. Need to supplement protein to supply metabolismโฆ
The epidemic has also contributed to the popularization of protein knowledge. Many people realize that they need to eat more protein to improve their immunity and optimize their nutritional structure. We believe that more and more people will recognize what is IQ tax, what is pseudo-science, and what is true value. In the past, product problems and commercial problems caused by information asymmetry are believed to be resolved soon.
Cindy: Indeed, a healthy diet is an irreversible trend. Everyone has the consciousness to reduce sugar intake, then reduce calorie intake, and then pay attention to protein supplements. This seems to be a gradual process. ffit8 is a product with a very high appearance in terms of appearance. The design is very beautiful. We have also seen a lot of joint activities. They are all ingenious. What little stories can you share with you?
Zhang Guangming: Yes, it depends on our philosophy. Before us, the concept of the protein powder market was to give priority to function, or the previous sales logic was โif you have a disease, I have medicine, it doesnโt matter if the packaging is goodโ, as long as it can solve the functional needs of health.
But we hope to turn eating healthy food into a new way of life. We also hope to transform protein powders and protein bars from professional nutritional supplements into healthy foods for daily consumption. We feel that we must let users like the product when they see it, so that users are willing to treat the product as part of their lifestyle, and are willing to put it on the desk, in the bag, in the car, and in the pocket.

Cindy: Make an emotional connection.
Zhang Guangming: Yes, so we have done a lot of homework on the brand name, visual design and packaging creativity. For example, we designed a four-stripe packaging box. After opening it, it is packaged separately. There will be some inspirational and fun copywriting on the packaging. The overall color will also cater to the aesthetic needs of generation Z young people.
We are a new brand after all, how can we let everyone know us? We choose to stand with some trendy and cool brands. For example, we have customized a Beef-flavored product with โChina New Rapโ. Anyone who knows rap knows what Beef means. When young people who have watched โChina New Rapโ see this product, they will smile happily because they see our point. And our product is indeed the first protein bar in the world that uses real beef. Our salty protein bar made of natural beef powder from roast beef is a very innovative taste.
Another example is our cooperation with Trend Partners, which is a key theme this year. Young people are creating a new national trend and new fashion. For example, in Chengdu, there is a trend of Sichuan local culture with spicy hot pot and mahjong. We then launched a hot pot-flavored protein bar, combined with the trendy packaging of the country, and received a very big response in Chengdu. Everyone thinks it really tastes authentic Chengdu hot pot flavor, so can protein bars do this? This product broke everyoneโs imagination.

Cindy: We saw that the growth of FIT8 last year was indeed very fast. Many new users became our consumer group. We are also very curious. We would like to ask the principal of Guangming to share with us. What is the profile of FIT8โs users? Are the consumers of our products basically in line with our expectations? Are there any interesting user observations?
Zhang Guangming:ย Our users are basically concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, and the main consumer groups are also concentrated in the 25-35 age group. It is very interesting that our consumer groups can be roughly divided into two groups.
ffit8 protein bar new package
One category is women who love sports and fitness. These people are not traditional sports coaches or professional sports fitness professionals, but people who prefer sports lifestyles. Many of them are girls. Many people think that those who eat protein bars and meal replacements are obese people who need to lose weight. In our observations of users, this is not the case. Many of our users are girls who have good exercise and health habits and have high nutritional requirements. They are also people who like yoga, running, go to the gym, and often go outdoors to exercise. They have a high degree of education, a high consumption power, and a high level of cognition.
Most of these women also often lose weight, but most of them only focus on low calories or some traditional ways of losing weight. In fact, in addition to controlling calories, there is a second way to lose weight, which is to promote excretion. However, traditional weight loss drugs are often laxatives, which can cause serious problems to the body. We have specially developed a new product for these girls, called probiotic protein powder, to help them relieve intestinal discomfort and mental stress during weight loss.
The other type is male, and we internally call it โInternet otakuโ. These office men have strong learning ability, but they are sedentary people, most of them do not exercise and are surrounded by a pile of โjunk foodโ every day. They all know that what they eat is โjunk foodโ, but they really have no choice. They desperately need something that can quickly fill their stomachs during meetings or online. We are Luo Yonghaoโs official meal replacement because Luo Yonghaoโs core fan base is such a group of men. This year, among our users, the proportion of โInternet otakuโ is increasing.
Cindy: I โโremember that you mentioned a group of people that was particularly interesting, and it was also about the post-90s.
Zhang Guangming: Yes, we didnโt expect it at all. When we did a user return visit, we found that many of the selected users were all post-90s truck drivers. We were very curious at the time, saying why this group of people accounted for such a high proportion? The user said it because the product is too good. In fact, these post-90s truck drivers are very cool, especially trendy, in a trendy state. They are small bosses and drive their trucks to help deliver goods.
The biggest problem of this profession is to be in a hurry, to drive non-stop, and in the process from A to B, I have to add some energy in the middle. In the past, they would go to the gas station to rest, eat some instant noodles or a light meal, and drink a can of Red Bull afterward. These convenience foods are mainly sugar. Once the blood sugar fluctuates after eating, people will get sleepy, but the most fearful thing about driving is the problem of fatigued driving.
So these people are particularly painful, or they should rest first, but this will waste time, or they will be hungry, but this is also very uncomfortable, anyway, they canโt find a particularly good solution. They saw FIT8 and thought it was tailor-made for them because FIT8 protein bars are sugar-free, but they have a strong feeling of fullness. After eating, the blood sugar is very stable and there will be no drowsiness. So these post-90s The driver can hold the steering wheel with one hand, eat the โmealโ with the other, and drink some water when finished, without any delay. After one or two drivers discovered this, they passed on from one to another. Later, our FIT8 became a cool piece of equipment for truck drivers born in the 90s.

Cindy: Ffit8 is doing a live broadcast with Lao Luo on Douyin, and co-branding with โChina New Rapโ and โFashion Partnerโ, so that many young people have seen this new brand. We are also very curious. You are marketing this year. Are there any new ideas on this?
Zhang Guangming: We will follow the three marketing strategies of last year, namely IP, content and media. This year, we will make more efforts on IP, and now we can also spoil it a little bit. This year we will cooperate with institutions like the Forbidden City, and also cooperate with animation images that young people like to do more IP. Jointly, continue to break the circle.
We will also strengthen the content output, and pass on the knowledge about nutrition and healthy lifestyle and the way of healthy eating that we just talked about through various channels and methods that everyone likes.
ffit8 protein bar marketing strategy
Mediatization means that we go wherever young people are. We will continue to break the circle with their favorite content methods, continue to educate the market, pass on more nutrition and health knowledge, and finally drive everyone to become healthier.
We also plan to make more efforts on channels this year. In fact, everyoneโs understanding of health has become more and more profound. The main problem facing them is not that they donโt know what healthy foods are, but that they donโt have enough choices when making decisions. We plan to do more layouts in the channel this year and strive to let consumers see FIT8 every time they make a decision, and see such a safe and healthy choice. What to choose is still up to consumers to decide, but we must at least provide consumers with a choice. Itโs not easy for consumers to always be forced to eat instant noodles.
06
Cindy: Following the general trend of the development of the healthy diet market, after experiencing rapid growth last year, looking back now, have your definition and perception of health experienced some changes?
Zhang Guangming: I think there has been a very obvious trend in the past two years. This is what we perceive from the growth of fit8: the health consciousness of young people is awakening. This is a trend of social change. Prior to this, the transmission of human health knowledge was passed on from generation to generation. The older generation passed it on to us through experience, and our parents told us that we would pass it on from generation to generation.
But with our generation of young people, the situation has undergone a qualitative change. First, changes in lifestyle are currently being led by young people. Second, the knowledge structure and learning ability of young people has far surpassed that of their parents. We can quickly find an unfamiliar concept or product within 10 seconds, and we can quickly understand it. Although the asymmetry of information has not been completely resolved, we have many means to obtain information. Faced with things that they donโt understand, as long as young people want to know, they can easily find out without the help of others.
Based on this situation, the older generationโs unscientific lifestyle and traditional IQ tax foods have made young people more discerning. Young people have become more aware of their pros and cons, and they will no longer follow blindly. Parents, young people have become opinion leaders of healthy lifestyles in the family.
This change has brought about a lot of new market demands, and we have also launched our own products to cater to young peopleโs concerns about their lifestyles. Young people like good looks and good figures, which is indeed a manifestation of health.
At present, according to the data of the global WHO, since 2011, the number of people who died of lifestyles in the world has exceeded the sum of all other causes of death such as accidents and diseases. In other words, a personโs dietary structure and living habits can determine oneโs own life and death. How people die is actually determined by the current way of life. Young people are increasingly pursuing a healthy lifestyle because they want to avoid diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases due to unhealthy lifestyles like the older generation. We have seen this generational change and believe that in the era of change, there are opportunities in the health food market.
Now in the field of health food, there is no such thing as an absolute healthy food, because most foods are after the repurchase rate, and they should be so delicious that you canโt stop. To achieve this, many food brands make their foods high in sugar and oil to cater to your physical desires and then stimulate your sense of taste through various colors, flavors, additives, and preservatives. Consumers have been eating, but the protein content has been pulled down. After all, as soon as there is more protein, the feeling of fullness will come up, and consumers will no longer be hungry, so they will no longer repurchase.
ffit8 lab
This is not to say that many food brands do not comply with national laws and regulations. We have to see that the underlying logic of national laws and regulations is the logic of food safety, not the logic of health. The national dietary standard is the minimum guarantee standard that applies to all citizens. This problem Exist in many countries. From this perspective, there is still a big gap between the health defined by the country and the health pursued by many consumers.
We define health as food that comes from natural ingredients without artificial colors, flavors, additives, and preservatives. It should be low-sugar, with high-quality fats, good protein, and foods rich in dietary fiber.
This is what I think is healthy food.
Nestlรฉ launches a โnon-contactโ coffee machine, spring drink has a new theme!

In the spring, new beverage brands are frequently launched. Some time ago, we compiled a batch of new products for the cherry blossom season (Portal: After waiting for a year, this wave of annual high-value drinks is finally available!)
The new spring products are still being updated. Recently, Starbucks has launched a new product for the cherry blossom season-Man Ying Fuxue Latte.
This new product is inspired by the scene of cherry blossoms falling like snow. The cherry blossoms are fused with vanilla sweet milk froth on top. The whole product is as fresh and sweet as spring.
STARBUCK Begonia Drink
It is worth mentioning that the recent new product at the Corner Tower Cafe of the Forbidden City does not use cherry blossom elements, but uses Begonia.
Begonia is one of the protagonists of spring viewing in ancient China. It is mentioned in many ancient poems. The blooming of Begonia is also a famous spring scene in the Forbidden City.
This time there is a new cup with a new pattern, two drinks and two desserts: Forbidden City Muchun Cup, Chunfeng Wanjin, Begonia Spring Sleep, and Muchun Matcha Roll and Muchun Strawberry Roll.

Recently, Santurn bird launched a new coffee Yunnan-themed flavor series. There are three coffees in the series, namely โflowerโ, โcloudโ and โmountainโ.
Santurn bird Yunnan coffee
The raw materials of the three new products are all taken from Yunnan Province, corresponding to three different flavors:
โFlowerโ is baked in high-quality washed AA medium-dark, with hazelnut, cream and light tea; โCloudโ has the aroma of pineapple, dried mango and fruit wine after 48 hours of anaerobic sunlight and light baking; โMountainโ is high The whole red fruit is washed in water and baked in the middle of the sea. It has the sweet and sour sensation of berries, nougat and berries.
I run my own coffee factory now, and it is not easy to do the business I love.
My wife and I control all coffee from coffee beans to packaging and selling.
Before opening a coffee factory, I studied coffee knowledge very seriously, and I can do well in selecting coffee beans, so I chose to open a factory.
I am very satisfied with my own coffee factory vision. I think I will do well.
But I fell into a downturn for a while, and I overlooked a very important point.
My coffee was packaged in ordinary packaging and lost its original flavor.
The customer questioned my product. I thought about it and didnโt know what happened to me until my friend heard about it by accident.
In response to my distress, he came to my factory and found that the coffee packaging machine is a relatively old-style machine, not only the cost is high, but the packaging is also very problematic.
Fortunately, under the introduction of my friend who is also a coffee maker, he told me that the customized packaging machine on the https://www.afpakmachine.com/ website is very good. He also uses this packaging machine, which is significantly satisfying.
I used my last money to customize the Afpak packaging machine.
I communicated with their staff in detail and discussed together how to make a better, more convenient, healthier, and more rigorous plan to customize the machine to keep my coffee better.
Afpak did not disappoint me, and they did better than I expected.
Their staff are also very friendly and kind.
The coffee capsule filling machine they produced is very convenient because it has completed grinding and pressing, and the beans do not need to be pre-processed.
The capsules are individually packaged, filled with nitrogen, and sealed in aluminum foil, so every cup opened is equivalent to freshness, which well preserves my carefully selected coffee beans ground powder and retains the original flavor!
What surprised me, even more, is that the AfPak machine has a special design that allows the empty capsule sorting and feeding device, which not only saves me cost and labor but also achieves 95% nitrogen filling. I was shocked by the technology of AfPak, and I have to say that this is a very reliable and good filling machine with very high filling accuracy!
Let me extend the shelf life of my coffee a lot.
I can not only expand the scale of production but also sell well to various regions. Whether it is peripheral or transnational, I can feel at ease about the preservation of my coffee.
As the times change with each passing day, not only the information is constantly refreshed, but also the machines are constantly improving.
I have only heard a little about this aspect of the machine in the past, and I am always conservative and reluctant to try new things boldly.
Although not everything can be tried without hesitation, in Afpak, a good manufacturer company, I am pretty sure that I am not in the wrong direction.
They have more than ten-year history of making this coffee capsule filling machine and packaging machine, and I trust them very well.
If you also want to save some costs or want to keep your coffee better, you might as well try choosing this company's machine if you want to make your own name.
Even a fine wine made with the best raw materials does not need a suitable wine jar to wait for its fragrance, right?
If the jar is not good or bad, even the perfect material will lose its luster.
Iโm a person who has experienced all of this.
I used to be in a downturn, but now my coffee is sold to different levels and people in various regions, and I am doing pretty well.
I am grateful that I met Afpak at this moment.
Go to https://www.afpakmachine.com/ to have a look, I hope it helps you.
