The Airscape Coffee Canister Stores Beans the Way Experts Want

Many people kickstart their day with coffee, but the secret to that perfect cup lies in the beans. To keep this essential at its best requires you to store coffee beans properly. Coffee expert Steven Sutton, founder of Devoción, explained to us, “The key is to store your beans in a dry, dark place in a vacuum-sealed container to reduce the risk and speed of oxidation.” So we went on the hunt for a good coffee canister. 

Our testing revealed five coffee canisters worth your money, and if you’re the type to have a lot of beans on hand, you want the Planetary Design Airscape Kilo. 

Planetary Design Airscape Kilo Coffee Storage Canister

This alloy steel coffee canister, known as the “Kilo,” is aptly named, as it measures 7 x 8 inches and can hold up to 2.2 pounds of coffee beans, great for those who buy online or in bulk. The 2-way valve and “intelligently engineered” inner plunger, as we called it, effectively minimizes the air left trapped in the canister, even when there’s only a little bit of coffee left. (Then there’s room to store other coffee gear, like your scoop, inside.) And crucially, the container blocks new light, moisture, and oxygen from entering and disturbing the beans.

To store it correctly, leave this canister on the counter or put it in the pantry. Coffee expert Sutton further explained, “The biggest mistake is putting beans in the freezer or fridge. That can actually hurt the coffee.” To coordinate with your kitchen decor, you can choose between three matte color options: black, gray, and white.  

“I buy the large coffee from Costco to save money, and I wasn’t saving money at all because it would lose its freshness 1/4 of the way through,” said one Amazon reviewer. But then, they bought the Airscape, “which keeps my grounds fresh like I just opened the airtight container!”  

This coffee canister has scored many more five-star ratings from other shoppers who love how it maintains — if not elevates — their coffee’s taste and freshness. “It keeps coffee beans fresh for months,” reported one reviewer, who added that they “expect to get decades of use out of it.” “This canister has kicked up my coffee to another level,” wrote a second customer. “Nothing keeps beans fresher than Airscape,” declared another shopper who owns three of these canisters.

Have your coffee mug ready and snag the Airscape Kilo coffee canister to create the proper environment for your coffee beans. After all, your beans deserve the best.
