If there is one thing that is the greatest enemy of roasted coffee, it is air—in addition to heat and light. Roasted beans readily oxidize when exposed to air, which alters their flavor profile and causes them to lose their aroma. On the other hand, a large amount of carbon dioxide is trapped inside the beans during roasting, which gradually escapes (which is why it’s important to let the coffee rest after roasting before brewing it).A vacuum canister elegantly solves both of these problems.
The American company Planetary Design was founded in the rugged environment of the Rocky Mountains, from where it brought precisely crafted products to the world of coffee—including the AirScape. AirScape is currently the most ingeniously designed vacuum container on the market. Unlike other containers, which can only remove a limited amount of air, AirScape features a double lid, the bottom part of which can be pressed down all the way to the coffee, thereby expelling all excess air. A one-way valve also allows CO2 to escape continuously without letting oxygen in. This way, we can keep the coffee fresh and full of aroma for a longer period of time.
