RTD Coffee Production with Oxygen-Free Brewing Systems
The RTD coffee boom is driving producers to scale up, and oxygen-free coffee brewing systems are critical to maintaining quality at high volumes. These systems prevent oxidation, ensuring the flavors remain consistent and vibrant from batch to batch.
Why Oxygen-Free Matters:
“Oxygen would degrade its quality, flavors, and shelf life,” explains Good Citizen Coffee Co. Their oxygen-free brewing system designed by Deutsche eliminates this risk, enabling them to produce premium RTD beverages with superior flavor stability. Here is the case study by Siemens referencing the importance of these systems to Good Citizen Coffee Co..
What Makes a Deutsche Coffee Brewhouse Oxygen-Free?
Deutsche Beverage + Process engineers their coffee brewing systems with enclosed, airtight designs that eliminate oxygen exposure during extraction and flash-chilling. This innovative approach prevents oxidation, which can degrade flavor, quality, and shelf life. Seamlessly integrating automation and advanced process controls ensures precise monitoring of the system’s oxygen levels throughout production. The result is a consistent, oxygen-free environment that locks in the full range of coffee’s volatile aromatics, lipids, and flavor compounds while maintaining superior freshness and stability in every batch.
Key Features of Advanced RTD Coffee Brewhouses:
- Precision Control: Siemens automation delivers exacting consistency in every batch.
- Oxidation Prevention: Enclosed systems maintain product integrity.
- Efficiency: Integrated CIP systems ensure seamless cleaning between batches.
Good Citizen Coffee’s collaboration with Deutsche Beverage + Process resulted in a state-of-the-art coffee brewhouse capable of producing 3,000 gallons weekly. With this system, a single operator can oversee high-volume production, making it an ideal solution for growing brands.
