AirScape Planetary Design Stainless Steel Coffee Canister | Food Storage Container | US Patented Airtight Lid | Push Out Excess Air and Preserve Freshness (Medium, Matte White)

I was given a 1kg pack of ground coffee from a local roaster for Christmas, lovely coffee but there’s no way I’d get through it before it spoiled. This is quite spendy, probably cost more than the coffee! But every time I open it (and we’re now in late February) it still still smells amazing. I bought the medium size, stainless steel, and it looks very stylish. I put probably 75% of the coffee in it so there was still room to squish it down and seal, and the rest has gone in the freezer. I think to get the most air out every time, smooth out the top of the coffee grounds after you’ve spooned out your portion. Very happy with this; expensive but it does a good job!

This is an expensive solution for storing coffee beans or pre ground coffee, but absolutely value for money. The airscape is a premium product that does what it says on the tin. The canister looks fantastic and is value for money. Keeps the beans fresh for a number of weeks. Previously purchased a lower priced canister solution and was not impressed so was hesitant to pay £30. Glad I did. Really happy with purchase. The only negative is that the outer paint scratches easily.

Good vacuum container, attractive design, keeps coffee beans fresh

I should start off by saying that I do love my Airscape, and that it’s the best coffee canister I’ve owned in terms of form and (arguably) function. But at this price point, my expectations are HIGH and I think this doesn’t quite meet them. To start off with, the vacuum mechanism is pretty neat and fun to use. There are essentially two lids: the vacuum lid gets pushed down on top of the contents to squeeze the air out and keep things fresh. (You can see what that looks like in my second photo.) The second lid is the more decorative, visible one and it has a sleek look with a rubber seal. Together, they keep the coffee very fresh and it’s a more innovative, cleaner look than the usual clip-style lid. The body of the canister is high quality stainless steel - I chose a matte finish and I think it looks really beautiful. So far, so good. The two things that have been niggling me about the Airscape is 1) I realised after a couple of weeks of use that my kid isn’t perfectly cantered, with the lip on one side sticking out further than the other, and 2) I use mine to store freshly ground coffee that I get delivered once a week, and the grounds go EVERYWHERE. It’s impossible to avoid when pulling out the inner vacuum lid - if I’m very careful, a small puff of coffee ground will hit the counter and sometimes my clothes. If I’m not careful (bearing in mind, I’m usually doing this before I’ve been properly caffeinated for the day!) a cloud of coffee grounds will cover the counter, my clothes, the floor, my cat… anything within a two foot radius. I think this is inherent to the design, and as such the Airscape likely works better with coffee beans than ground coffee. I had hoped to avoid grinding my own beans by setting up a weekly delivery from a quality roaster and using the Airscape, but now I’m contemplating buying a grinder and doing it myself. I guess it speaks to the fact that I really do like the Airscape quite a bit that I haven’t decided to just replace it with something like the Coffee Gator (where the design doesn’t create quite so much mess) - that would certainly be cheaper than buying a decent grinder! But I’m a sucker for an aesthetic bit of kit, and the Airscape has that in spades.

I've been struggling with the bags the beans come in and rubber bands to keep them closed. Took me ages to open, extract and re-seal the bags and I almost couldnt be bothered to drink a coffee. I didn't want to spend so much money on a container as I already had bought three airtight metal containers. Problem with the airtight containers is that when you seal them, you seal in air too so it somewhat defeats the objective. They're fine when full up but as you open to use, there's always air in them. I tried all sorts of things without success and bit the bullet and bought an Airscape. It works really well and its quick and as easy as it could be to open and reseal and its always free of air inside. Reluctant as I was to buy, I now have bought another one. The Medium holds 500g of beans comfortable and the Small 250g. I now feel confident that the beans will remain fresh. Its an excellent product. Shame about the price though its probably worth the money to keep the beans well. No complaints.

I bought this to store my coffee beans, reduce staling and give me a larger capacity than my Fellow Atmos does. It is easier to use than the Atmos (unless yo have the one with the electric lid) and has an excellent seal on the inner lid and also comes with a top outer lid. It feels well made and has a rubber bottom which is helpful. This size suits me but they also do a 1kg canister as well, but that is huge. This design works on displacing air from the canister by pressing down on the inner lid rather than evacuating air from the canister via a vacuum pump like the Atmos does. However both methods probably do an equably good job at keeping air out. If you wish to store ground coffee (I don't) then this is also a better bet as the grounds shouldn't clog the mechanism like they would in the Atmos.

Very good top lid needs dry hands to remove but keeps coffee beans very fresh

Purchased the larger size on the 1st March and decided on the smaller 250 size as I drink decaf coffee and my husband caffeine. As expected it goes well with the larger sized canister and nicely presented. It was delivered packed well and had obviously not been opened, unlike the larger one. It was again beautifully encased in its own cotton bag. The inner lid fits extremely well and you can hear the air being pushed out as you press it down and locking the seal. The outer glass lid allows one to tell how full the canister is at a glance. Both canisters match my new De Longhi coffee machine really well. I like the fact that there are no external catches sticking out making the Airscape very neat if out on show on the countertop. I am delighted with my purchases although they may well be considered a little expensive, I anticipate that they will last the lifetime of my machine. I would highly recommend them.
