Hi all So as alot will have seen, my Weber bean cellars failed, now I used coffee vac storage tubs, but fancied something nicer. I was looking at airscapes but @"MediumRoastSteam"#51 warned me off What else is there

I’ve been pretty happy with my Airscape but then again I open them at most twice a week as I pre-dose about 3-4 days worth into smaller containers. Found the Airscape containers have kept the beans fresh for a few weeks. Mind you I don’t have any more than 300g in a container at any given time. I think opening the Airscape containers less frequently seems to do the trick but you could argue it defeats the purpose.

Another version (same size different color). [URL=https://i.imgur.com/xI32ibZ.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/xI32ibZ.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

@"Cuprajake"#144 - there was a whole discussion about storing coffee beans which started as a post of mine on CFUK just before that imploded and a lot of us moved over here, and, if memory doesn’t fail me, @"LMSC"#16 carried on with the discussion over here. It was very informative. I’ll see if I can find the thread when I have some time - it was one of the very first threads on this forum. Edit: found the thread. (I just typed “airscape” on the search box): https://coffeetime.freeflarum.com/d/71-airscape-issues-and-single-dosing

@"MediumRoastSteam"#p29275 - @"Cuprajake"#144 I think an airescape - but equally the coffee bag itself - are fine for keeping beans for a a week, maximum. My experience with one is that I thought in could keep coffee in there for longer, but soon came to realise the beans have degraded considerably since. I now vac-pack in smaller portions (say, 5 days worth) and, when I want to drink them, I decant them into small pots. I don’t think they are perfect air tight, but they do the job for the immediate short term storage.

Tightvac is what I use, So may be best to divide and seal smaller batches then. Sounds a better idea

My airscape is now used to store tea bags, which are fresher now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Before you spend money on expensive storage, please try to get one of these a shot and see if it works for you! https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/oertfylld-spice-jar-glass-stainless-steel-60391350/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Suitable-Aromatherapy-Creams-Serums-Ointments/dp/B015E7L9Z8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=NW6NJ7LT48N2&keywords=amber+glass+jars+with+lids&qid=1666247973&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0Ljc0IiwicXNhIjoiNC41MiIsInFzcCI6IjMuOTkifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=amber+glass+jars+with+lids%2Caps%2C61&sr=8-3 If getting the latter, you might need a little larger capacity. @"MediumRoastSteam"#p29276 will be able to advise the capacity as I believe he still uses one of these canisters.

@"Cuprajake"#p29266 If you like the single dose bottles then Sterifeed 50ml baby bottles hold about 22g of coffee and are air tight.

Those storage jars I have linked by LMSC store about 20g, maybe a little more. I always store 18g without issues. But they are not magical. As I said before, they are not air-tight, at least I don't think they are.

I do think airscape containers look quite nice though. I’ve been very happy with mine, and can’t say I’ve noticed any significant difference in taste over the week it typically takes me to drink a 250g bag of coffee. I do agree that i don’t think there is any difference vs any other airtight container that doesn’t let light in (or is in a draw)

Yeah I was thinking for looks over the ones I have

Coffee storage

So these arrived today. First impressions are good. Seem to be well made. The seal is a silicone seal and there’s a lot less headspace than 2 of the 3 storage containers I’m using currently. I can also use dry eraser markers to put grinding points on them. Will take up less room in my cupboard as they can stack as well

They are replacing these:
