I'd like to know the rate of ageing that occurs in all the different tube types and brands compared to vac sealing.
Longest I've kept coffee in eb#y sauce takeaway cups frozen is 2 months. Quality of extraction seems to be as consistent to the date of freezing a coffee at its peak. Grind settings, & extraction times are consistent.
I do enjoy being able to grind a little coarser using frozen coffee too.

tell you what though, value for money, those etsy ones are hard to beat, which is the 3rd one with the la marzocco logo etched into it. The caps have a one way valve and hold 20g easily. The only down side to them, is they are a little narrower then the WW ones so a little harder to fill

Well, I'm starting to feel like a real cheap skate now, as I use the recycled plastic tube containers that the Hydralyte and Swisse magnesium effervescent tablets come in. They hold 24 grams, have a reasonable sealing lid, and, you know, the price was right.

Thanks. Today was their first day in use and definitely found the workflow better than weighing each dose, particularly when making two drinks together.
That's the beauty of having a drawer or cupboard at your station, doesn't matter what the containers look like once they work.

Thanks for all the replies. Given so many different options work for everyone I'm trying small (55ml) jam jars as a starting point as the cost is pretty compelling. They seem to form a decent seal as there is a silicone type lining in the lid. I can always upgrade to one of the nice looking glass cellar displays in the future if I still feel the need.

I'd say 50ml is perfect. I just picked up some 55ml jam jars (silicone type lining inside the lid so form a pretty decent seal from what I can tell). There's a small bit of headroom above my 18g dose but shouldn't impact too much as all doses are typically consumed in 4 days (5 days max). These were pretty cheap too, approx €20 for 12 jars. This way I can try the workflow out at little cost. If it works I may just stick with the jam jars as my station is on a big sideboard with drawers so I can keep them in a drawer. I can always upgrade to one of the fancier options like the webber cellars if I feel the need.
