HILIS BR01 kIava J- .MOCHA 'em A coffee bean consists largely of cells These in a green state, are filled with moisture and chemical constituents. The rousting develops and fills these cells with a volatile essential oil (annua). This vapor izes ami a certain quantity escapes if exposed to the air. In the usual package this essential oil vap'ir or gas continues to escape, in an ordinary sealed can there is present sutlli'le.it air to uxidMe and sKiil it Just as if the can were open. The vacuum can as now developed mid ix-rtcctml, consists of a can, strong and easily closed, wtiich is filled with coffee, then placed in a vacuum chamber, the air withdrawn, and cover sealed while iu the vacuum In order to save all the aroina xihlt, the coffee is packed Immediately after roasting and before the essential oil bus hud time to vaporize and escape It takes a strong can to resist the air pressure from the outside when the air from the inside is removed. An empty one will collapse like a paper bag. If a can is filled with tea and the air exhaust" d, the heads of the can will simp in and remain concave. Hut the heads of coffee cans will in a short time become distended as the vupori.od oil produces a pressure on the inside sometimes greater than the air pressure on the outside, thus the head of the run will be distended. This will explain the difference iu appearance between the vacuum cans coutainiug tea and coffee. After being in the vacuum ran for awhile the vapor is re-absorbed. This assures a perfect blending of all the different flavors of the various coffees that make op the blend, producing a very superior coffee. Ex haustive, thorough and practical application of the vacuum prooeis haa demonstrated the success aud perfec tion of the vacuum I'-oHco ran.
