Can you buy that whole bean? Where did you buy?
Seven-eleven Brazilian dark roast.
The ones I saw from Mitsuwa Market in Chicago were all ground unfortunately.
I pretty much only do my own bean blend to get to get just the purrrrrrrrrrrrrfect espresso to taste, body, caffeine, extraction, grind oily-ness, everything just right. There is a little trial and error, but so far it's just a matter of taste tweaking.
I mean my only slight gripe is I have to stop at THREE every morning!
And well my Baratza Encore is pretty slow set near "1" but still a very good grinder for the price, very reliable bought May 22 2021 (I checked)

I started with a new coffee yesterday. I got this 2 pound box for $15 ($11 US) and as usual I made a hot coffee and then put it in the fridge for an hour and then added ice to it. I drink mostly decaf these days as I try to limit my caffeine to just 2 or 3 cups per week
Have had this many times before but first time with the new packaging.
Consistently good.

I even have that small container
I have 3 of them. One for each machine. 2 Moccamasters and my Gaggia Brera superautomatic espresso machine.
They are great for keeping beans fresh.
I bought a different style for larger storage, but yes they seal very well. I gave up thinking rolling the bag end sealed at all. Looks odd, stays in the pantry, but wow, GREAT SEAL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRGGRCBZ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1
How much does it hold?
You're right. Using the tape that seals the bags from Costco is fruitless. I use a clothespin on the folded over bag. It works.
I want to say a full kilo, but maybe a hair less. Right around 2 pounds.
I even use the huge clips the pinch the whole width but still not a great seal.
I knew what you mean...the chip bag clips. I don't overthink it too much because we go thru about a pound/ week. Although the stuff in our beach house sits for much longer periods of time. Maybe a bigger canister down there is in order.
My wife bought a few of these Oxo Pop containers for rice, barley etc...

I'm going to ask her to get a large one for the beach....the stainless canisters are ok if you're making coffee every day. 2 weeks with the clip on the bag is ok. 2 months probably isn't.

Good if your storage area is dark. Clear not good in light, IMHO.
It is. Kitchen cabinet.My question is : should the cannister have a means to vent/ exhaust like that little valve on the bags?
The stainless canisters do. The plastic Oxo ones don't.
I don't think so! I think air excluded, if a little CO2 evolves, no harm............BUT how much? Good question really. AI seems to agree, vent not needed.
Arrived from AZ today. Zoom for the "Notes"
