PORTLAND, Maine – Apr. 11 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — X Cafe LLC, a Portland Maine based coffee roasting company founded in 1999 has never sold one coffee bean! X Cafe is recognized nationally as the originator of shelf-stable coffee extracts. Paul Kalenian, President, notes, “Our liquid coffee extracts have made Coffee on Demand possible and that is revolutionizing the coffee industry, providing a continuous supply of fresh and great tasting coffee on demand 24\/7, cup after cup. For the foodservice operator, it means no waste, no grinds, no stale coffee, and no labor.” <\/p>\n

“And it’s all done with Bag-in-Box technology, long favored by Coca Cola and Pepsi for the soda industry, using post-mix dispensers. Coffee on Demand is making waves in the coffee world, a $23 billion\/year industry. Now sold to nearly all of the nation’s major coffee roasters under private label, as well as juice distributors and broad-line distributors, the coffee is served at such locations as health care facilities, convention centers, hotels, casinos, sports arenas, cruise ships and the military.”<\/p>\n

The company, founded by Cathy and Paul Kalenian, developed a patented extraction process wherein the taste, varietal characteristics, body and aroma of a fresh brewed cup of arabica coffee is reproduced in a shelf-stable liquid concentrate. No refrigeration or freezing is necessary. X Cafe is the originator and leading manufacturer of shelf-stable liquid coffee extracts. Today X Cafe is the holder of U.S. and International Patents covering its unique technology. “Our technology allows us to control coffee from seed to cup, ensuring its consistency and great taste.”<\/p>\n

Since pioneering the ready-to-dispense coffee market, X Cafe has also seen a sharp increase in the use of its coffee extracts as an ingredient in such products as ice cream, gelatos, RTD beverages, iced \/ frozen drinks, and liquors. “Bulk packaging of our coffee extract in 1000 liter nitrogen flushed, FDA certified totes allows for repackaging at a co-packer anywhere in the country or internationally,” said Paul Kalenian. <\/p>\n

“We love special food and beverage formulation projects – any brix, any solids, the customer’s beans or ours – we are happy to work on proprietary projects. Our concentrations can vary from 30:1 to 80:1. The use of our coffee extracts in other products is unlimited and a very exciting extension for the coffee industry,” said Kalenian. <\/p>\n

Due to the popularity of the company’s coffee extracts, X Cafe recently completed an extensive expansion of its state-of-the-art coffee roasting \/ extraction facility in Portland, Maine. The expansion increased the company’s one shift capacity to 10 million lbs. of green beans processed per year. This volume equates to 3 million eight-oz. cups per day. The second, completely independent production line was designed with a keen sense of energy efficiency and environmental conscience with 80% recycling of water and 80% recapture of energy use. 100% of the extracted coffee grind waste is de-watered and recycled through composting or biomass energy. <\/p>\n

Much like the coffee decaffeination process, X Cafe’s extraction technology is a process essential to the coffee industry but available only in limited locations under X Cafe control. Future plans include the license of the company’s extraction technology in key markets around the world, including the European Union, Asia, and Australia. <\/p>\n
