Zippered Pouches with Valve

[Rusty]

Is it worthwhile investing in some of the subject pouches?

How often can you reuse them them, and are they better than airtight canisters at keeping beans fresh :

Im confused by what Ive read so far :P

Hi Rusty, per previous posts, quite often if you line them with a glad bag or similar and yes, better than airtight containers because you can remove excess air and allow the beans to degas

Glad or any brand freezer bags are the go Rusty.

Idea first put on here by Thundergod from memory.

as well as.

Use them to line the zip-lock bags and then youll get a reasonable number of uses before the zips give out--and no need no wash out the stale coffee oils.

ps--the roasts you try from a good roaster will usually come in the one-way valve bags, thus obviating much of the need to buy them.
