I use lab glassware that has the correct neck diameter for a vinuvac wine vacuum stopper. Then freeze it.
When getting the beans for a coffee it takes less than 1 minute to get the beans from the freezer, weigh, repump the vacuum and put back in freezer. Quick, simple and fast.

I bough the vacuum canister from fellow this winter. I didn't expect it to be worth the high price, but it's been incredible! It stored decaf beans for a while and I was still able to pull good shots out of them.

I do have a very cheap and effective way to store coffee, and It easily preserves the flavour for at least 5 weeks:
Get a food bag (the ones you use to freeze food) bigger than the coffee bag, throw in there the coffee bag and one or two dessiccant salts bags for moisture (optional, I always have some for asthma inhalers😂), then push some air out, twist the top of the food bag twice and close with a kitchen clip, preferably the ones with creases on both sides (they don't allow air in or out).

great insights Jack, I have both and prefer the Airscape due to ease of use, I'm with you re the QC of Atmos, one of mine always leak prematurely and I hate to be checking on them every now and then.

I have 3 Airspace containers 2 big and 1 small and all holds very good. I buy usually 2lb fresh roasted beans at the time because it's cheaper. I hold the beans in bigger containers and I open just when I need to transfer some beans in a small Airspace just enough for like 2-3 days.

I always try to order coffee which I can consume within 2 months. I have 3 stainless steel Airscape (500g ), two of them for dark/medium roast and one for light roast. One of the major reasons why I keep beans in those containers is the easy access to coffee. Normally original zip bags from coffee roasters at 500g/1kg size are too deep to reach the bottom. So if the coffee comes at 250g size, I'd keep them in original bag; If at 500g, directly throw them in an Airscape; If at 1kg, half will be kept in bag and another half in an Airscape. As a single dose practicer, I have a bean cellar as well, which requires me to refill them every 5-7 days. By doing that I don't need to open the Airscape that often.

I have 2 of the large Airscape and one of the small Airscape canisters. They seem to do a good job for me.

that was great, as ever, I’d never thought of vacuum packing to fridge… in future video could you look at rediscovering darker roasts?

Really like the notice to have a large and small container. See so many youtubers using an Athmos but opening again and again taking small portions out.. Really loosing the point of keeping oxygen away. I use the 2 size Airscapes as well and it works great. As well as long term vacuum bagging in the freezer.

Poor man’s vacuum sealer:
Put beans in Ziploc
Put Ziploc in bowl of water until the water reaches the opening
Close Ziploc

Water will push out any air inside the bag and create a vacuum

Hope it helps 😊

Hey Jack, where can I found online the image of flavour wheel behind you?

Regarding storage I seal and freeze and smaller bags I buy have 1way valve so I don't need any fancy containers.

Using the airscape container are those good for five days degassing period if putting handle up or down or just ok for storing beans after the degas period?

[Vasilitchman]

Jack, thanks for information. What about keeping coffee in the fridge and puting it out every day - condensation of moisture on the beans will not increased freshness. Have I use the fridge in this case or room temperature will be better?

[erikngomez]

You are drinking about 70g of coffee a day! My daily is 36-40g and the occasional 55-60g.

[petres]

Jack, I recommend try when vacuum, not go all the way until it becomes a hard lump but more gentle just to remove the air and not create a negative pressure. I noticed an improvement when I did that.

Airscape and fridge are perfect for storing coffee beans. Vacuum can? No, it's neither user friendly nor lasting for a relatively long period.

[varieedeventualii]

I drink 250 gr of coffee in 5-6 weeks... I feel like a total noob 🤣
