Coffee lovers all over the world have their own ceremonial methods for brewing, drinking and storing their favorite caffeinated beverage. Some prefer hot lattes, a few like an iced brew, some opt for a traditional brew in a coffee pot, and others prefer a classic French Pressed coffee. One thing however that proves to be true for all coffee connoisseur, is that no matter what brew, blend, or brand you prefer, proper coffee storage is KEY.
If you are anything like the coffee drinkers in my household, coffee does not last long enough to require specific storage. When a bag of coffee enters our house (ground or whole bean) it does not make it to the freezer for storage and it does not have a special cupboard. Our beans stay right next to our coffee pot and the bag lasts about a week. Since most times we drink our coffee so quickly, I always believed that we did not need to worry about any other form of storage (other than its sacred spot next to the pot). But that also meant we only bought enough coffee for a week or two so that we did not have to take measures to store the coffee.
This was until I recently learned of a revolutionary way to store our coffee beans that not only creates an aesthetically pleasing addition to our coffee corner, but also (most importantly) keeps our beans as fresh as the day they were roasted. Not only is our new go to way of storing coffee made free of BPA components, but its body is also made with an 18/8 restaurant grade steel.
If I have not already convinced you of how lovely this will look next to your coffee pot, let me tell you about this amazing technology that is bound to beat freezing or bagging your beans. Imagine not having to go out to buy fresh coffee or throwing your locally roasted beans in the freezer (blasphemous right?!) but being able to pour them right into an airtight canister that is designed specifically for all of you coffee lovers out there. Airscape® canisters from Planetary Design are made just for you with their Airscape lid that once pressed down it forces out the oxygen through a specially designed two way valve.
This method of coffee storage is by far superior to any other preservation measures we have considered in the past. The design of the canister keeps our coffee beans free from oxidation so that every cup we brew is fresh and tasty to get the day going. Fresh coffee beans plus the added benefit of an aesthetically pleasing coffee canister to add to your coffee corner - could it get any better than that?
