AirScape Planetary Design Kilo Coffee Storage Canister - US Patented Inner Plunger Lid Removes Excess Oxygen - Don't Buy airtight, Buy AIR-Less - Holds 2.2 lbs Coffee Beans - (Matte Gray)

The AirScape Planetary Design Coffee Canister is just what I needed. Buying coffee at the club stores means storing an extra large supply of grounds or beans that may last for months. Problem solved! This canister looks good and has a quality feel. There is a satisfying "swoosh" sound as the plunger lid seals the contents. The top lid is rubber reinforced to provide more protection from air and moisture. This larger size is perfect, and it fits inside my kitchen cabinet. This canister is worth the price to keep expensive coffee products fresh.

I’ve used plenty of “airtight” containers over the years, but this is the first one that actually lives up to its design claims. The Airscape’s inner plunger lid doesn’t just seal—it actively pushes out excess air, which makes a noticeable difference for freshness and longevity. The build quality is exceptional. The matte white finish looks (and feels) high-end and fits seamlessly into my minimalist kitchen setup. The plunger handle feels solid and smooth to operate, and the outer clear lid gives it a clean, finished look. I currently use one for black sesame seeds, and I liked it so much I bought a second—perfect for storing bags of seasonings and various small-batch items I pull out for special occasions. It also blends perfectly with my existing canisters and storage system—the proportions, finish, and texture match better than most high-end kitchen brands I’ve used. This is one of those rare products where the engineering and the aesthetic align flawlessly. — Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign

Attractive style and works as intended. Well made and easy to use.

Love this thing! Very sturdy, not to heavy, you can hear/feel the air being forced out as you close it for your airtight seal. Keeps coffee fresh and looks good. Have already come up with other uses and will be purchasing more.

After some debate over the coated interior and concern about galvanized steel vs stainless steel, decided to take a chance and try it. Per company reply, they chose galvanized steel to keep cost down. Frankly the amount of stainless vs the cost to coat the interior can’t be that much, so I’m not convinced their reasoning is that valid unless their margins are exceptionally slim. I’d proably pay $5 more for stainless, I’m betting many others would as well. Not really much choice for storing a kilo bag of coffee beans. We have had a medium airs ape for years for a lb bag of beans that’s proven durable and continues to work well. This kilo size is fairly huge to keep on the counter, but looks nicer and works better than a clip on a kilo bag. This container seems to made well, it does feel a bit weaker than the stainless, but the diameter is certainly much bigger so if you’re holding it against yourself to get some leverage to lift the outer cover, it feels like a hard enough squeeze will deform the cylinder. The top lip makes it pretty much even with the cover, so it’s not the easiest thing to get fingers under to lift off. Over time the gasket should loosen a bit at it should get easier. They could have either made the cover edge a hair bigger in diameter or molded the bottom lip with a bit of a bevel to make fingers easier to get under it to lift it out. So for the thin feeling of the metal cylinder and the top cover edge, I deducted 1 star - felt like deducting 1 per each issue, but I have been able to adapt my handling of the container to make it less awkward. Minus 1 seems fair. The air scape inner sealing lid works exactly the same as our medium, fairly easy to pull with one hand when roughly half full or higher. As I’ve used up 3/4 of the beans now, I find it takes 2 hands - I put palms on edge and hook thumbs under the handle and soft of rotate my palms to lever up my thumbs to lift, when near the top, I can easily remove it with one hand. I have fairly small hands for a guy so it’s impossible to grasp the container with one hand, and it’s awkward to try and hold it down with one hand. The thumb lever method has been working really well. Some question that the inner lid seals in CO2 rather than using a one way valve to let it escape. I’m a chemical engineer and this makes no sense. CO2 is primarily degassed by the roaster prior to bagging and most bag under nitrogen to minimize oxygen. You can’t create CO2 without O2! Although there may be some compounds in coffee beans that contain oxygen that can possibly decompose to yield some CO2, but after roasting and cooling and packaging, decomposition is a very slow process. Furthermore, CO2 is fairly inert, not as inert as nitrogen, but in this case it’s a good protective gas and better to leave that small bit of CO2 positive pressure within the bean storage container to help prevent any further oxygen intrusion. Frankly, these one way valve containers are all hype and do nothing to preserve flavor, unless you have just recently roasted beans, like within the first day or two of roasting. The only good options are to push out as much oxygen containing air as possible and seal off the container from air intrusion, like the air scape; or, use a vacuum pump to expel the container air then seal it off; or, inject enough nitrogen to displace all the oxygen containing air which is roughly 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen - injecting nitrogen will mix with the existing air so getting to zero oxygen will be difficult, especially without any way to agitate the beans to disturb the pockets of trapped air. Ultimately, the air scape is the best option since there is no vacuum pump to maintain. As it displaces the air above the beans, the only oxygen left is the small fraction trapped with the spaces around the beans. For my money, I’m happy using the large air scape versus using a smaller container with a vacuum pump that would require leaving beans in the bag or buying multiple vacuum jars.

The design for this storage canister provides a very tight seal and is very easy to use. I use for our coffee beans and keeps them fresh for longer. Very high quality product.

Well made and keeps the coffee beans fresh.
