Operation and Maintenance Manual for Coffee 
Freshness System (CFS) Model Number CF055 

   

Document number 202-100-055 Rev C 

   

Important Safety Notice: 
     The Coffee Freshness System uses pressurized gas.  For your safety, 

NEVER

 lift 

the lid latch of the coffee Airtight Canister when it is pressurized. 
Introduction: 
     

The Coffee Freshness System preserves roasted coffee beans or grounds by storing 

them in an environment of pressurized CO2 gas where most of the atmospheric oxygen 
and moisture has been removed.  At the push of a button, the system runs an 
automated preservation procedure that pressurizes the Airtight Canister with CO2 gas 
and removes air.  This is referred to as preserve mode.  The main components of the 
system are the Base assembly and the Airtight Canister.  The Airtight Canister holds 
coffee beans or grounds and can be installed and removed from the Base assembly 
whether pressurized or not.  

This allows for use of multiple 

Airtight Canister

s to preserve 

coffee, thus the user may preserve several pounds of coffee concurrently.
