I like this product. As I consume coffee beans, I can easily adjust the black seal to keep the beans free from access air like other containers or that I would need a variety of containers in different sizes.
I see a second storage possibility for this canister. You can store the beans in two layers. Fill the canister half full, seal it and then the second layer and close it. Every time if inside sealer will be removed, there will be air exchange, new oxygen and new moisture (bad move), but if you store the bean in two layers, then first layer will be better preserved, without the air exchange. what stands in the manual ?
I like my Airscapes but the sizes are so wonky, the small is too small the large is too large - for a bag of coffee. Also the clear lids don’t always suck into place, some canister lids end up being very loose, I will mess with the silicone a bit and it helps a little but still not great.
I wasn't using my Airscape because it can't get out the air between the beans, preferring vacuumed mason jars . But Costco substituted Peets French Roast ground instead of their usual whole beans, and I found that Airscape keeps the ground coffee fresh, at least to my taste. There is no air between the fine particles of coffee.
I don’t understand the comments regarding vacuum packaging or using a vacuum sealed unit. When the lid is pushed out from inside the canister, isn’t a vacuum being created using that process? The whoosh sound you hear is the vacuum being created. The air being pushed out is oxygen, which is the main culprit in food degradation. Taken from Brittanica.com, “A vacuum can be created by removing air from a space using a vacuum pump...”. This is what your doing when the lid is being pushed down; the air is being removed.
It likely doesn't remove all the air, therefore doesn't create an actual vacuum. That would require a pump. There's still air lingering in there between the solid pieces?
I agree that the Airscape doesn't provide a proper vacuum for long term storage. I just bought one of these Airscapes to replace another canister with a hand pump because their convenient to use throughout the week. But I would never use these to store coffee for longer if I can help it. A food saver would be a better choice preserving the oily 2.5lb Starbucks French Roast bags I bulk buy at Costco. In this way I can enjoy good espresso well into the bag, not just drip and french press.
It doesn't remove the air between the beans, it removes the air above the beans. It's like having an air tight container just large enough to fit the beans at any level. It's slightly better than an air tight container, but not as good as an actual vacuum sealed one, but overall, there's probably not much difference if you're drinking the coffee quickly enough.
I love your channel, but this product isn't my favorite. It still leaves air all around the beans. A hand held vacuum sealer with the lid that fits over a mason jar comes in at about $36 Canadian included free 1 day shipping... and I can seal up as many different varieties as I like. This unit comes in at $44.95 Canadian before shipping/ customs costs.. Of course I will have to keep my beans in the cabinet, but I do anyways. I would rather put the funds into beans. I only buy organic fair trade coffee and I am fussy about it too. But hey, to be fair I am a tightwad that won't even invest in a electric burr grinder and have 2 hand grinders instead. LOL it turns out some cheapskates like good coffee too. :)
Thank you!! That's what I'll get then. All the same here, ditto lol! 😁 The wisdom is strong with you 👍👏 Btw I use thick socks with the feet cut off or sleeves cut from stretchy clothing to cover my clear jars etc from the light. Sometimes 1 thin layer under a thicker knit layer. Also keeps products like olive oil from dripping onto shelves after use. My pantry looks quite homespun yet very sporty lol!
If you're drinking the coffee in the preferred 2 weeks after roasting, you won't notice much difference. James Hoffman did a 6 week blind taste test and the difference is pretty small and unlikely to be noticed by most people.
Yeah...not sure how he thinks it gets "all the air" out from around the beans, without a vacuum machine. Just not possible. Sure it works better than an unsealed container though.
Great video. I have four of these 64oz canisters and just purchased their new KILO canister. It's a beast.
big airscape fan. they can store any dry goods incredibly well. flours, sugar, baking soda, you name it.
Great video. These keep my beans fresh for the best French press coffee!
Thank you. Enjoy your coffee!
I like this product. As I consume coffee beans, I can easily adjust the black seal to keep the beans free from access air like other containers or that I would need a variety of containers in different sizes.
Using the Airscape twice a day, how long will the black seal last before becoming loose and less efficient?
I see a second storage possibility for this canister.
You can store the beans in two layers.
Fill the canister half full, seal it and then the second layer and close it.

what stands in the manual ?
That would work as well. But the key it really to push out all Air possible to prevent oxidation. Enjoy your coffee.
Containers are opened regularly for daily use so both absorb moisture and odor. I think the best way buying a grinder to ground coffee fresh.
Can i use it to store ground coffee??
great video review.. I have 2 of these Airscapes. They are fabulous.
Thanks. Enjoy your coffee!
Is this suitable if I open it everyday for coffee making?
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Is it better to store coffee as beans or as ground coffee?
beans

It's not incorrect, it's just archaic language.

whats this hand held vacuum sealer like ?
You made this video twice as long as it should have been!

i need 1 kilo AirScape Coffee Storage but i couldn't find
You're probably better off splitting between containers so that you're not opening it regularly.

No international shipping, unfortunately!

It's good enough if you're buying a week or two worth of coffee at a time. Which is probably what you should be doing anyways.
