Bringing the highest quality solutions to our partners in order to deliver the best single serve experience to the market.
Our Story
Coffee is a complex product and even when growers and roasters do absolutely everything right, all their efforts might go for naught if the grinding and brewing isn’t just as perfect as every other step. At best, home grinding and brewing is a hit and miss affair. Delivering a final cup that is just as the roast-master intended is the missing link in coffee.
Our company started 15 years ago with an aim to solve that missing link. The first efforts were in developing the Senseo® single-serve coffee, and later, moved to improving the design and implementation of Keurig® K Cup® single-serve technology. Surpassing the pre-existing limitations with advanced earth friendly materials, pod designs, and a unique filling technology has created a game changer for consumers and the industry.
Pod production before was limited to big roasters employing huge equipment that took months to install, a staff to manage, and complex product runs to assemble component pieces of cups, filters, lids, and adhesives. To add to the problem, most pods in use were incapable of handling the degassing pressures of fresh roasted coffee. The results frequently left consumers making a choice for convenience over quality.
iFillSystems™ changed all that by building a better pod, capable of fresh fills of just roasted coffee, with the finer grinds, and larger volumes, needed to brew true coffeehouse quality. Better pods combined with efficient compact filling equipment now enables roasters of all sizes to compete in this major segment of the marketplace.
What we began in the coffee industry, we are now expanding into multiple markets with new brewers, new recycling systems and filling equipment for beverages of every type. We make innovation affordable, and level the playing field with earth friendly solutions that make better tastes and a better world.
Behind iFill’s aim for excellence, is a bright group of individuals, dedicated to working together in a culture of mutual respect, support, and service to our client partners. Team work does make the dream work!
