ESPOSIZIONE ALLA LUCE: L’esposizione alla luce UV è un’altra delle principali cause del deterioramento della qualità del caffè e dello sviluppo di sapori indesiderati. Sebbene il METPET offra una certa protezione dalla luce, non è altrettanto efficace come l’alluminio. Il materiale in alluminio è paragonabile a una lattina di metallo in termini di capacità di preservare il prodotto e proteggere dalla luce UV.
