Fellow Atmos Vacuum Canister for Coffee & Food Storage - Airtight Sealed Container, Clear Glass, Large Coffee Bean Storage, 1.2 Litre Jar

Product Information

Roasted coffee beans effectively have a shelf life once roasted. Through the staling process you begin to notice the beans will first lose their natural fresh aromas followed closely by the sweetness and vibrancy of flavours associated with fresh beans.

Oxo manufactures a variety of items to help households run smoothly, including its line of Pop containers. The 1.6-liter option is specifically designed for coffee, and it's one of the best values compared to other coffee canisters out there. Air molecules are tiny, and we've found that eventually air will find its way through even the best seals. It’s just like why you need to regularly inflate your bike or car tires. For this reason, we don't recommend Atmos for long-term vacuum storage (more than a week). Obviously, you can store your beans for as long as you'd like, but they will not indefinitely preserve the freshness of your beans.Nope! Powdery or ground substances do not play well with the seal and can clog the intake valve. Since we always advocate for coffee to be ground right before brewing, Atmos was not designed with the intention of storing ground coffee. In addition to ground coffee, please avoid putting any powdery substances inside Atmos such as spices (like turmeric or cinnamon), flours, sugars, and matcha tea. And lastly, a boring but necessary question. How do I clean my Atmos?

Airtight Silicone Seal – Prevents the ageing and oxidation process by removing all the elements that cause it, protecting against odours and sunlight too. This is an updated version of a previous Oxo coffee canister. The two are similar in size, price, and design, but the newer model comes with a couple of upgrades, especially regarding its ease of cleaning. It is now dishwasher-safe (aside from the lid) after previously being hand-wash only. Clean the filters. Use a very clean brush on the paper filter, then clean the metal filter. Make sure it has fully dried.

This canister is available in three sizes and multiple colors. The medium canister, which we tested, comfortably holds 1 pound of ground or whole bean coffee. We filled the canister with water and shook it upside down over the sink to test the integrity of the airtight seal. Not a single drop of water escaped, showing how well your coffee beans will be protected inside. The item should not be put in the dishwasher, but we washed inside the canister with a sponge without issue. Le Creuset is well known for its colorful cast-iron cookware, and these stoneware canisters capture the brand's signature style. They are available in several eye-catching colors, from a cherry red to an elegant white, so every customer should be able to find an option that matches their kitchen décor. The canisters also have a wooden lid for a nice accent.

Atmos is optimized for regular to semi-regular use (daily or every couple days). It is intended to keep your coffee fresh while using it throughout the week, so the lid seal is designed to be open and closed easily. The lid is designed to hold a vacuum seal for about four to five days before it needs to be retwisted and resealed. But what about when you go on vacation? Or you want to keep that special coffee for extra special occasions? You just got fresh beans roasted within the past week, and you're super excited to try them out. You throw them into the atmos container and ditch the "inferior" bag it came in. You spin the lid (or do whatever mechanism creates a vacuum in your product) and throw it on your shelf. Umm Fellow, Atmos is definitely not the first vacuum canister on the market. What makes Atmos special?Storing coffee beans properly to keep them fresh requires some sort of airtight seal, so be sure your canister is equipped with one. From vacuum seals to silicone gaskets, whatever you choose should protect from excess humidity and air that can deteriorate beans and grounds. Overall Capacity But now, these beans are in a low pressure environment. All the gasses trapped in the beans are being pulled out of the beans. That includes c02. This happens so much, in fact, that when I first put a fresh bag in, for the first few days, the container loses the vacuum as the beans offgas enoight o equalize the pressure.
