Campos Black 1KG Airscape Canister $24 + Delivery @ Campos Coffee

1650

Was looking around for some bean storage containers and came across this. Seems to be quite a bargain considering it is $60+ elsewhere.

I wasn't aware of this when I bought it, but it is HUGE, so make sure you have enough space in your kitchen to store it. Also, like their Pullman Tamper, this is their Campos branded Airscape cannister, so keep that in mind.

They also have 20% Coffee, 30% off Capsules and up to 60% off Merch for Black Friday if you are interested. I think there is also free shipping for orders over $50, but I don't see it mentioned on their site.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2022

  • How long can this keep beans in a decent condition for?

    • They say around 2 months, but it depends based on how you use it.

    • I watched a James Hoffman video where he tested various containers like this, from memory they all performed very similar to the regular Tupperware container style. That said, I have one of these airscape containers and it's really fun to use, plunging it up and down, I like to imagine it's doing a better job at keeping the beans fresh anyway…

        I watched his video and TBH, was not impressed by his review. He was comparing taste of already made 10 shots from beans stored in these containers.
        When beans not stored correctly for a while they get stale and you do not get good crema and you have to grind finer. His video did not elaborate or show this. I do not recall how long he stored them in these containers for too, if for a week or so, then that will not make great difference as well.

        • I think it's more than just the crema and grind size though. Crema is just carbon dioxide from the roasting process leaving the bean anyway, you are better to scoop it off as it has a bitter flavour.

          • @bleeder: Interesting, new theory! most people associate good cup with good crema. Bitterness is caused by other factors.

                @GrueHunter: There seems to be different views on that. Another coffee experts site state Why Is Crema Important In Coffee?: A pronounced crema can tell you a lot about your shot of espresso… a good crema almost certainly indicates that your shot of espresso was made with the freshly ground coffee, and was pulled by a skilled barista. Despite different opinions, ….. you'll rarely find a bad coffee brewed with great crema.

                So it is agreed by all that freshly roasted beans lead to good crema and stale beans does not produce crema. In saying that the Hoffman review of beans storage containers, meant to show if they keep beans fresh or no, therefore a shot with crema is important and relevant as part of the review.
                It is that simple rather beating round the bush…………..

                  @huntabargain: probably don't mindlessly copy and paste articles from retail websites to form your opinions. That article is literally trying to shove several products down your throat, and you're treating it as an immutable fact and not the outdated garbage advice it is.

            • +1

              @huntabargain: Scoop some off with a teaspoon and taste it, it's not cream, it's just CO2, it won't taste great…

              It is a sign that the beans are freshly roasted though.

                @bleeder: Irrelevant argument, Why Is Crema Important In Coffee?: A pronounced crema can tell you a lot about your shot of espresso… a good crema almost certainly indicates that your shot of espresso was made with the freshly ground coffee, and was pulled by a skilled barista. Despite different opinions, ….. you'll rarely find a bad coffee brewed with great crema.

                The Hoffman review is about containers performance to keep beans fresh, therefore he should show the shots with the produced crema, to demonstrate how they perform with their intended design. It is that simple.

  • Wow, this is an awesome deal! Airscape is great, and large size is actually ok with Airscape (compared to Fellow Atmos, for example), because if the design with the push down lid.

    Thanks OP!

    • +1

      Yeah, but I didn't realise how big it would be! It's like a mini bucket!

      • +1

        So does it actually takes 1kg of beans?

        • I haven't used it yet but it is pretty massive. I'm sure it would fit 1kg comfortably.

        • Yes.

      • Aha yeah, it's pretty massive!

        I actually have the large size Fellow Atmos (I have all three sizes), and it's a pain because it's so large.

        But the Atmos is ok (so long as you have the bench / cupboard space), because the lid compresses down.

        You can use the space on top of the lid to store all your tools and stuff to redcue clutter on your coffee bar! Lol :)

        Or, just use this for tea bags! :)

        • I think I have the large as well for the fellow atmos. If you think that is big, wait till you see this, it's like 4x the size!

          • +2

            @PlushyAngel: You just unsold me on this thing, it seems way to big

            • @Jofzar: haha yeah it isn't for everyone, that's for sure. It's perfect for me because I kept juggling coffee beans in and out of the freezer.

        • +1

          ok thanks, I bought few months ago the Breville one for ~$50, I think it takes 600gm or so and slightly smaller in diam and hight which I normally leave in the pantry and the remaining of the 1 kg beans store in 5 small tuperware. I would have bought this as bigger, cheaper but I don't think I really need it just because its good value.. might pass, although they have some good merchandise too.

          • +1

            @huntabargain: Yeah, if you already have a 600g one, you dont really need one of these…unless you really wanted a single container to house a whole bag!

            I'd just keep the 600g one. Depending on your coffee consumption, you could even consider freezing the other part, to keep the end of the bag from going stale. (But depends how quicky you go through 1kg, whether it's worth freezing or not.)

  • +2

    Maybe it's just me but I find it odd to define a physical container's storage space in weight.

    I wonder what happens when you place more than a kilo of coffee beans.

    • +3

      The universe implodes on itself. Jokes aside, it would probably depend on the beans because they could be different sizes. Some beans could fit 1kg, some might fit more or less.

      • Ok, now how heavy is the container :p

        /s

    • +8

      It is kinda weird, but it's basically just to indicate that the capacity is meant for 1kg bags of coffee.

      The actual capacity is NOT 1kg, because 1kg is not a volume, and will depend on the bean, obviously.

      But it's just a shorthand way of saying "storage for those bulk 1kg bags of beans".

      • +1

        You're right, my comment was more in jest

    • +2

      Sorry, but I think it's just you. I feel like it's kind of obvious this is intended for 1kg of coffee beans…

      • Yeah I totally understand that it's meant for a kilo bag of coffee, I'm just a pedantic fool.

        • Haha, nw. For me, knowing it'll hold the 1kg of coffee I like to buy is more useful than saying it'll hold so many ml of something.

  • +6

    For those that need dimensions.
    Measures: 165mm (w) x 205mm (h)

  • +1

    it actually will hold more than 1kg of beans. I've put 1kg of beans in it and im guessing its about 2/3 full.

  • what's wrong with putting coffee in an old yoghurt container?

    • +2

      Nothing, it just helps keep it a bit fresher for longer because there is a vacuum seal and it's nice to have a sturdy, dedicated container for beans.

    • +1

      No good, use new container..

    • +1

      Some people are really into maximising their coffee experience. So they buy expensive beans from boutique roasters and store them in opaque airtight containers to ensure freshness.

    • +2

      I just reuse glass jar from mocona, seems to be ok.
      Keep most of the beans in larger jar, while the small jar is for daily use.
      When small jar is finished then transfer some from big jar, so the rest of the beans are not exposed too much.

      • +1

        I'm love a good upcycle! And I do find mococca jars to tend to have the best seals I've found on instand jars. I'm not sure if you could be bothered, but would be worthwhile painting the outside of the jar to protect the coffee from light. :)

        • If the jar is kept under the bench top in a cupboard is that good or bad? Would it be good because no light? Or bad because.. no.. something?

    • What kind of yoghurt container? Does it have an airtight seal?

  • +3

    So apparently this holds about 3.55L of liquid for anyone wanting context of how big it is.

    • +3

      So almost a gallon for those who know what that means

        Sorry I'm American, how many milk bottles and football fields is that?

          If you were American you would know milk is sold by the gallon, and it's obviously 632 football fields

      • +1

        Is it Imperial Gallon or US Gallon?

    Proper bargain, not the 30% that's being thrown around like its a true BF sale. I ordered one and the shipping was only $5, thanks OP.

    • +1

      I couldn't agree more.

  • Thanks for sharing. Great deal. Ordered one for $29.50 delivered!

  • Copped, thanks OP :)

  • Thanks got one with 1kg of Superior Blend beans

  • The 20% off coffee isn't great when you add shipping and the original RRP. 1kg superior blend works out to $45 , same price as Woolworths

    • Yeah thought it was a bit of a lame discount really. But you'd be lucky to get a freshly roasted batch at Woolworths for $45.

      Need $50 minimum order for free shipping so decided to get the 1kg beans ($39.60) with this..

      • My Woolies the beans are usually 2-3 weeks max from roasted date.
        I've bought direct and they where roasted 8 days before I received them. Bought from my local cafe and they where 3 days from roasted date. Couldn't taste the difference tbh

  • Site getting hammered? this is a great deal.

  • +1

    if only I could get on the site..

  • +1

    I thought this was my solution for keeping Beans fresh but found it didn't extend that long. If the beans are just sitting in the container, every time you open to replenish your Grinder it affects the beans. Vacuum Bags/sealing and freezing works perfectly. This is a good price though, I paid $50ish for mine.

    • +2

      Yeah true. I'm mainly using this to keep beans I'm not using very often, as I already have a much smaller fellow atmos for frequently used beans.

      • +1

        Yep, exactly what I do too! :)

  • +1

    250g or 500g makes more sense for a coffee container as you would keep coffee in small batches and minimise opening the lid to let the air in.

    • +1

      My Breville one holds 500grams. Which I find is too small as I buy 1kg bags.

    • +1

      I use these airtight containers in small and big sizes I bought from Ikea. Large container for emptying bags into and small containers for small batches to use. Only down side is the lid is transparent of which I use a tea towel to cover over the top to prevent sunlight from getting in.

  • +1

    How does this compare to a zip loc?

    • +1

      better, but not as good as the yoghurt tub.

      • which flavoured yogurt would you recommend?

        • Coffee flavoured.

          • @gryphondarks: Would you prefer coffee flavoured yoghurt or yorhurt flavoured coffee?

            • @OzBrogains: Well I don't know what "yorhurt" is. Sounds painful. Wouldn't mind trying coffee flavoured yoghurt though.

  • any thoughts about deep freezing beans over using this?

    • Freezing it will make it last much much longer, but obviously you can't keep taking it in and out of the freezer so it's a different use case.

    • Anecdotally I’ve been told that freezing is bad - burns the beans and risks moisture ingress every time you open. Not sure how true that is as I don’t do it.

      • +4

        You freeze small bags, take the bags out and let them come to room temp (so no moisture) and put them in something airtight like the smaller version of this.
        Only open them once per bag.

        • Good to know!

        • interesting….thanks for sharing

        • I haven't had much luck with small bags.

          It takes me around 2-3 months to finish 1kg so I used to divide into 4 and freeze 3 bags. The problem I encounter is that freezing changes the bean dial so I need to dial in each bag. Then, depending on the bean, the grind settings will drift over time requiring small adjustments but I found freezing some beans will cause the dial to drop off a cliff after a certain amount of time and this eats into the total weight which is not consumed.

          I'm now trying to freeze larger bags so I make small adjustments over time rather than having to redial multiple times for more but smaller bags I unfreeze.

          • @boretentsu: I haven't found that freezing requires me to re-dial in. But I am not super fussy personaly.

      • Nah, freezing is ok, just so long as you are doing it the proper way.

        You either want to freeze in an airtight container/bag and then thaw completely before opening it, or grind from frozen (supposedly the best way for particle uniformity, but too hardcore for me personally!).

        • I am not brave enough to grind frozen beans in my Eureka Specialita..

          • +2

            @huntabargain: Done it often and it's fine. They don't seem any harder when frozen.

            • @thestig: So I take it you single dose? as don't see you would fill hopper with frozen beans?

              • @huntabargain: Yep single dose. Even the grind setting hardly needs to change from fresh beans. Just slightly fiber as they age and shot time starts reducing.

          • @huntabargain: It’s not a problem. Have same grinder and done so many times.

      • I refill my small coffee zip lock bag every week with beans from the freezer. It does the job. Havent nocticed any moisture ingress. Only thing is that I let my coffee beans come back to room temperture before i brew.

    • +1

      In my opinion, it depends how quickly you go through 1kg of coffee.

      If it takes you over a month to go through 1kg of beans, I'd consider freezing some.

      If you go through 1kg in less than a month, I'd probably just use one of these tbh, to save the hassle (and environmental waste) of freezing.

  • +5

    If you use freshly roasted beans, use the bag they come in, this is overkill and not a bargain because its not needed. James hoffman review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0JWuhE8a-w

    OCD people (like me) spoon the beans out of the bag for your brew, instead of pouring them out, to keep the CO2 inside the bag (CO2 is heavier than air, CO2 will stay in bag, holes in roast bag releases excess when needed)

    happy brewing

    • True, it is not for everyone and for most people it would be overkill, but there are some use cases where it can be useful. There are some reasons mentioned at the end of his video, such as a major one that not all coffee comes with resealable bags.

      • +2

        I buy mine from a local roaster, and they don't come in a resealable bag. I also don't need to access them every time, as my machine holds a bunch of beans in a hopper, so this cannister is perfect for me.

    • excellent youtube review, thanks for sharing.

    Really nice find since I paid a few months ago around about $67 from Amazon.

    I use it to store (longer term) my excess coffee beans to refill my Atmos Fellow airtight container (for daily use).

    Had no issues with the 1kg jar and have used it for other purposes. Container is big!
