so why would you do a test like this without also testing how well the beans stand up for the storage period in an unopened bag that they came in, as well as an opened and resealed bag? The unopened bag would be a more useful control and the opened and resealed bag would tell you whether the airscape is an improvement, or not.
Also, the normal use case would be for that container/bag of opened beans to be opened and then closed/resealed on a daily basis. That's how one would use it. This should have been part of the experiment.
Looks like only your comment here reflects common sense and practical daily need of a home barista so far.
The bloom is the real indicator and I can attest to that!

They work pretty well if you don't open and close it daily from my experience. I only open it once a week, portion off 7 dose, and close it right back up. If anyone is interested, the OXO Tot baby food block storage are perfect for storing and portioning coffee for daily use, fits 20-25 grams airtight, freezable and comes in a handy tray. No need to weight out every morning, just pop it open and dump into your single dose grinder!
Interesting and great idea 👍
Those containters extended my coffee by over 1 year. I had to move and the interim place did not have enough counter space to use my coffee items. It took over a year to get a new place. The coffee was still good. Was it the best it could be? Probably not but it was sure perfectly flavorful.
How long after roosting should you wait before putting the beans in the air scape or can you put beans in right away
Airscape previously had an air escape button on the middle of the lid - for bad air to go out but not getting in - a kind of double protection device. Now, the new Airscape does not have this air escape button anymore - Just a plain lid.
Unless you are actually removing the air from the container, how does this improve the storage? Yes, the little plunger limits the amount of air “in” the container, but the beans are still exposed to just as much air as in an opened, but “sealed” bag... no, the bag isn’t “airtight” but the air isn’t being circulated... so a ziplock bag would do the same as this product? Serious question as I am looking at a storage solution. Does breaking down the bulk bag and vacuum sealing smaller bags improve the storage?
I actually own one of these Airscape containers. And from my personal experience, the product does keep the whole beans fresher for a longer time. While a ziplock in theory should prevent anything going out of or into the bag, in practice that's not the case. Fill any ziplock bag with water and flip it upside down and you'll get droplets falling out rather quick.
The Kilo has thicker walls with a more confined space for your beans. The inner lid, when pressed up against the beans with its handle flipped to the side, further prevents air from traveling out through a small valve that is only open when the handle is upright.
Does this mean no leakage or diffusion occurs? No, it's not perfect but when you remove the top lid and realize how strong the smell of the beans became between the inner and outer lids, you realize how well the product works in keeping the beans from drying out or becoming stale.
@@dn8089 i buy the 40 oz bag from Costco and always deal with the flavor once two weeks have passed, may I ask how long do your beans “stay fresh”? And how often do you open the big container for getting the beans you use daily? Thank you.
@@sedmundial I've been in your shoes in terms of dealing with stale coffee beans. My wife and I buy our beans from Costco too. Prior to us owning the Airscape, we used to buy the 2 pack of SF Bay whole beans, only to have each bag go stale on us three-quarters of the way through.
Right now, we buy the 2.2 lb bag of Lavazza and that will last about a month for us, and we consider ourselves prolific coffee drinkers. We probably open our Airscape container every 3-4 days, because our espresso machine has a compartment to store roughly 1 cup of beans for fresh ground coffee. In our experience, the Airscape does a fantastic job of keeping the beans fresh. Since owning the Airscape, I've not had a problem with stale beans. If your setup requires you to open the container every day, then I can imagine you getting some staleness eventually.
By the way, if you do decide to get the Airscape, then I suggest getting it from Seattle Coffee Gear to support them OR buy it directly from the maker (Planetary Designs) because they always have deals going on that can save you more money compared to if you were to buy it on Amazon.
Hope this helps!
@@dn8089 I buy the 40 oz organic Jose brand from Costco and it only costs $9-$11 and has nice chocolate notes (I think they roast it with some cacao beans). Some times what I end up doing is doing a batch of cold brew (it’s a treat for my daughter too) but don’t like being force to do it either. Since I bought a coffee gator canister it’s been lasting longer than before but it still allows a considerable amount of air to be inside with the beans. I have been watching videos about this and it seems like James Hoffman (he’s got a channel in UA-cam) might be right when he says the best way to store the beans are the same bag where they came in:
ua-cam.com/video/K0JWuhE8a-w/v-deo.html
I am tempted to do just that and maybe get a few small coffee bags sold in Amazon so I don’t have to open the big bag of coffee too often. It seems that many reviewers want to also sell a product and refrain themselves from saying we can just keep the beans in the same bag.
I use either 3 double shots or 60 grams for my wife and I everyday, so it seems like we’re both in similar situations. Thank you very much for sharing, take care.
@@sedmundial In my experience, using the bags that the coffee came in resulted in a poor, acidic taste after a couple of weeks. I've also used the bags that Sprouts has to store their whole bean coffee, and I wasn't happy with the taste after the same amount of time.
I watched the video you linked at 2x speed, and my take from it is that he forgot to compare it to beans stored in the bags they came in. It's a little weird that he recommends the bags while not actually testing its merits against any of the containers.
I have always preferred re-sealed bags over any containers. The ideal container, whatever it is, must be opaque, keep as little amount of air in contact with the stored beans, and bring as little disturbance as possible when you take beans out each day. With the Airscape, each time you take the beans out on a daily basis, the forcing and moving a relatively large amount of excess air in and out from the stored beans isn’t ideal.
you are exposing the beans to oxygen only for about 30 seconds each day. Not an issue.
I agree with these being the best for storage, but unless it's a blind taste test, the only conclusion that can be made is that you don't understand how to conduct valid research.
It holds… 1 Kilogram! Not 2.2 pounds, 1 Kilo lol 😁
Yes I was the first one
you need a blind test and better presentations. Thanks for the effort.
Great video but the slurping made me want to bash my head against the wall.
In future could you please refrain from slurping thank you
Never ever but these cheap poor quality containers from China
