Re: A scary coffee story
I know of many different establishments from bakeries, patisseries to wholesalers that start with a simple system at first, then expand from that starting point.
Well insulated rooms with an air-conditioner work well for storage of goods at 18-20degrees. It can be a simple 3x3m room to keep chocolate and other goods at 20degrees, right through to specially controlled fridges. I have found air-conditioners can be used efficiently to maintain temperature and humidity. Bear in mind most of these establishments will turn the stock over quickly, say every month, so exposure to extremes of heat, sunlight and humidity is more damaging than trying to maintain a perfect environment.
