Air, Light, Moisture & Temperature have been shown to increase the rate that coffee beans age, the older the coffee means you start to loose coffee freshness. Old coffee beans can taste dull, muddy, cardboard or even earthy tasting and overall like a completly different coffee from what it originally tasted like! The Airscape canisters shield your coffee beans from many factors that increase the ageing of your coffee. Low Air Air drastically ages your coffee beans, the plunger doesn't remove all of the air but the amount of air in contact with your coffee beans is significantly reduced. This with other variables ensures your beans remain fresh and tasty for as long as possible. No Light UV from the sun can increase the rate your coffee ages, by keeping your beans in a dark environment you protect them from light. No Moisture The Airscape's plunger seal locks into place making it air tight, and with the lid attached no moisture will be able to get in after it's closed. Low Temperature Because the Airscape is made from a thick galvanised stainless steel it actually keeps your coffee beans noticeably cooler than if they were left in a plastic jar. The metal acts similarly to a heat sink!
