NuZee Inc., a coffee technology provider and co-packer of single-serve specialty coffee formats, has entered into a manufacturing agreement with California-based coffee roaster Apffels which will expand NuZee's manufacturing footprint on the West Coast, according to a press release.

NuZee plans to begin testing the Timeless technology, a film sealing technology that eliminates the need for one-way plastic degassing valves that are commonly used in the coffee industry at Apffels' manufacturing facility.

An estimated 1.85 billion one-way plastic degassing valves were sold in 2022 in North America, according to the press release.
