Overview

Whole Bean Coffee Storage For Single Dosing


One of the biggest problems affecting the quality of coffee is staleness. If you’re not storing your beans in a airtight container, your beans won’t stay fresh for very long. Perhaps the worst place to store beans is in a hopper above a grinder. Next would be the single ply paper bag that your beans come in. Even that air tight resealable container that you repeatedly open and close, introduces air which encourages oxidation.

Bean Vaults keep coffee in the best possible condition prior to grinding by storing each dose individually. Also if you’re taking your extractions as seriously as we are, you’re probably weighting your beans. When dosing by weight, a single gram variance in either direction can lead to a shot that’s too fast and sour, or too slow and over extracted. By measuring and storing a desired weight of coffee in a Bean Vault, you take the guesswork out of the process and remove another variable from the coffee making equation.

Bean Vaults are sold in sets of 12 for the home user

Construction

Bean Vaults are BPA, BPS, and bisphenol free and are made from Tritan, a durable and hard wearing plastic material from Eastman. Harder wearing and more durable than glass, Bean Vaults will keep their shine even after many cycles in the dishwasher.

Designed to be wiped clean or machine washable after use, the Bean Vaults are re-usable, eliminating the landfill waste associated with paper or multi-ply plastic bags. Each individual Bean Vault has a one way silicone dome valve designed to release any accumulated CO2 which naturally occurs as part of the out gassing process.

Capacity

The storage capacity of a Bean Vault is approximately 24g to 30g depending on the type of bean and roast. With an outside diameter a little over 33mm and with a height of 125mm, a Bean Vault can hold enough coffee for a high dose shot.

Instructions

All is takes is a quick twist and pull to remove the cap. Use a similar twist and push motion to replace the cap on the body. Using this method ensures no beans are jostled loose when removing the cap and also keeps the O-ring seated snugly.

We recommend an occasional cleaning of the tubes and caps with a damp cloth. For a more through cleaning, the Cellars may be immersed in warm soapy water or run through the dishwasher.

The Viton O-rings on the tubes maintain a tight seal and require very little maintenance. An occasional light wipe of the O-rings with a food grade mineral oil keep the caps lubricated and easy to remove from the tube. We recommend oiling the O-rings after running through the dishwasher or immersing in water. On rare occasion a silicone dome valve may become stuck, a gentle poke with a blunt toothpick lubricated with mineral oil will re-open the valve.
