The Airscape Classic will keep your perishable foods fresher for longer so you can get the benefits of quality freshness straight out of the storage container. In Australia it’s a necessity to use airtight containers. Airscape canisters are not only airtight, but they take it one step further.
With its patented lid design the Airscape removes and locks out the air from the container, making sure that your food storage is protected. Using an air valve, the Airscape lid forces out the air as you push down on the inner lid, releasing the air from the container. You can then close the valve to lock out the air and lock in the freshness.
Coffee storage is just as important as how its brewed. It’s got to stop oxygen & humidity from spoiling the freshness, and block deteriorating UV rays. Reusable & re-fillable, they are the optimal dry goods storage solution.
A durable, stainless steel body makes the Airscape strong and sturdy to withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen, while resisting stains and minimising odour retention. The BPA-free, clear top lid allows you to see how much you have left in the container, and allows for easy storage and stacking.

Joshua, that's not a one way valve. It's a two way valve, you can check by turning it upside down like I did and the air purges just the same. So this vessel does not degas, or purge CO2 under pressure. It simply pushes out O2 from the canister, which works well. They do make a one way valve lid which has N2 sparging as well but it's unavailable I believe. This should be a standard option, perfect for coffee roasters. Very good product all the same.
thanks so much for that! I hadn't considered turning it upside! 😲
Yep, it has to be a 2 way valve otherwise you'd have trouble pulling the inner lid out to access the beans!
Interesting that in your video for the Fellow Atmos you don't recommend storing ground coffee or flour in it because it may clog the vacuum seal - but then it's ok to store those things in the Airscape. Wouldn't that also be a concern here?
Also, I have the medium Airscape and the diameter is so wide that I can't pick it up with one hand. Bummer.
Also, the coffee grounds are always clinging to the underside of the inner lid, so I would get coffee all over the countertop if I were to set the lid down straight away. So I try to set it down _upside down_ ugh.... it's a whole thing ...every morning. 😑 Just some feedback.
Don't know when they made the change, but the one I just got (large kilo in white) is painted galvanized steel, not stainless.
Airscape is by far the best container for Coffee Beans and dry Cannabis flowers. Highly recommend it.
Highly huh?
no these are not good. These are bad, the seal is very unreliable. Also for cannabis the resin will interfere with the rubber seal. These jars seem like a good idea, but in reality it is not good at all. weak design
If i often transferring coffee bean from airscape to another medium, would that makes remaining coffee bean in airscape oxidized faster eventho there's a one way valve to displace all air from airscape after used
I does mean you'll be adding fresh air to the mix - and the Airscape is one of the better ones - that is great for keeping out air over long periods of time. MOst of these containers are recommended to keep a tight seal for no longer than 4 days. It extends the life of beans - by removing constant contact of fresh air between uses. So it is expected that you'll open the container daily to get your beans - but if you're not even doing it daily - that's great!
1:05 eh??.. But.. if using this for it's intended purpose, there's going to be a second lid covering the contents so you won't be able to see it lol. Weird
... though if you were to have the second lid pressed all the way down on to the beans - than you'll be able to see the volume in the canister - or lack thereof
I feel like efficacy wasn't really addressed in the video. Any opinions on that?
If you're already buying coffee in a bag with a one-way seal - than this won't surpass that in quality assurance. They're much the same.
@@AlternativeBrewing just so im clear, if I get coffee grounds in the bag that they sell at the store. The bags with the little circle thing. There is no point in getting the airscape?
I guess this would be useful once you've opened your vacuum bag of ground coffee
@@アントニオ-h6d If you're buying pre-ground coffee, you're buying stale coffee. Coffee quickly begins to oxidize after being ground. A bag with a one-way valve or an Airscape will slow down the process a little but if you were to do a comparison taste test between freshly ground and pre-ground beans, I think you'd be shocked at the difference. If you're making drip or French press coffee, I'd suggest getting a Baratza Encore grinder. Or if you can afford it, a Baratza Virtuoso+ is even better. It produces less fines resulting in a noticeably smoother, less bitter cup of coffee.
i always get 250g coffe bags and prefer the smaller profile container but not sure if 250g would be an overload for the smallest 250g container?
No, it would be just fine 👌
Can 250g of coffee beans really fit in the small container? I would think the inner lid would take up most of the room and leave less space.
which one do you guys reckon is better at preserving coffee? airspace or the fellow atmos?
tbh I find it all depends on the volume you're planning to store. Fellow Atmos maximum is 450g of beans. The Airscape is 1kg. They both serve the function of removing air out and locking in the freshness though. I personally like the clear Glass Atmos - aesthetics mostly.
@@AlternativeBrewing the 1KG Airscape is not an option on Alternative brewing on any of the colours, only shows Small and Medium in the drop downs. Will AB be getting the large in stock at all?
My fellow atmos unseal after a couple of days
@@KaizenOz I recommend watching James Hoffmans review of coffee storage containers, where he covers the fellow atmos. In that he mentions the issue that you are facing, however notes that the indicator for the seal switching off is not due to the seal being broken, but rather from the co2 being released by the coffee beans inside the container. Which isn't a concern for changing the taste of the coffee.
so the inner lid sits flush on top of the beans yes.?
Yes!
I kg is 1 L, isn’t it?
Water wise yes. With Beans, it’s less
How do I clean the two seals? How long will it take to dry out?
Just you a damp cloth with water, and wipe all the way around and inside the grooves. you can use a dry tea towel to dry the seals again 😀
Does it produce a vacuum?
Not a vacuum no. It pushes out all the excess air in the container - and does not allow anymore in.
@@AlternativeBrewing So what, most food storage containers prevent air from ENTERING. The density of air & oxygen remains the same underneath the inner lid - therefore this device is a waste of money. Move on!
@@return2earthvideochannel But it exists, and people purchase them to store beans in them, and it's sometime more aesthetic and easier then keeping them in a bag or plastic container. They're not moving on anytime soon 🫶
@@return2earthvideochannel Spoken by someone who criticizes without actually trying. LOL I've owned an Airscape for years and it works great. My beans remain fresh for 3 weeks. Previously, I stored them in the coffee bags I bought them in and noticed the taste began to degrade after just 1 week. In fact, Seattle Coffee Gear did a comparison test between an Airscape and a battery powered vacuum canister and concluded there was no detectable difference in freshness after 3 weeks.
I had the same concern that there's still air between the beans but for whatever reason, the beans don't oxidize like they do when left in a tightly sealed bag. And a vacuum canister doesn't truly create a vacuum either, given the beans off-gas. On top of that, and Airscape is far easier to use than a vacuum canister which requires vacuuming out the air after each use.
The worst product in life I have experienced
you need to live more
I want your life
these things are garbage
@@voidremoved How so? Mine's been great
Thank you so much sir I was looking for one of these coffee containers
You are most welcome
Had one of these marked for my next order, better not wait now !
Thank you for the great video! I have heard that coffee beans are best 3-10 days after roasting. Supposedly, these additional resting days are necessary to allow carbon dioxide to off gas from the coffee to a satisfactory level. My question is this - Does the airscape prevent this off gassing process from happening? If so, should I leave my beans in an air permeable bag or container for the first 3-10 days then transition the beans into the airscape? Thank you in advance!
Hi Michael, it is my understanding the coffee beans will degass no matter what - unless the are in a complete vacuum - which the Airscape is not. There is still air gaps in between the beans, and this will allow the gas inside the beans to leech out and become part of the air inside the tin. This will increase the pressure under the lid, and slow the degassing down - especially with much less fresh air to oxidise the beans - but won't stop it all together. Hence why you're beans will remain fresh for longer.
@@AlternativeBrewing Thank you for the response!
