Hey coffee lover,
How are you today?
Coffee containers probably aren't the most glamorous piece of coffee equipment you'll ever buy.
They are pretty important though, especially if you are spending top dollar on top draw coffee
 So coffee beans are a little sensitive.
If you don't treat them in the right way they're just going to produce a terrible cup of coffee.
Ask any coffee roaster about how slight variations in temperature, drum speed or airflow of a roast can effect the end cup of any coffee.
That all said, one thing that really upsets roasted coffee is air, specifically oxygen.
Very similar to iron becoming rusty, when coffee beans come into contact with oxygen for too long they begin to oxidise and the complex soluble compounds that are delicately balanced begin to break down resulting in a less flavoursome brew.
This happens at a much higher rate as the coffee is ground, this is because the surface area of the coffee becomes increasingly larger as the coffee is ground finer.
The best way to fend off that pesky oxygen is to keep your coffee in a coffee container.
