Thinking about the VacuVins that are available on the market… and if they are worth the price (almost $30?). For me, because I can get great coffee at work, I don’t always make coffee at home… especially if I’m opening (why bother at 4:30am — I’d rather sleep ten more minutes and make a press pot in the cafe). So that means that whatever beans I buy end up sitting for a while unless I share them with others. Even so, half a pound of coffee means 12 or so vac pots of coffee for me… pushing three weeks at my current schedule. And I love trying different coffees, so I often have more than 2 or 3 on-hand. Maybe therein lies the advantage to the VacuVins… I can keep older roast dates longer (in between brews) as long as I don’t keep opening and closing the container? Definately something to try. Maybe I’ll pick up a couple on my way to work tomorrow!
