Planetary Design Airscape Canister

The inner lid features a two-way valve that allows you to push air out as you press it down onto your contents. Once the plunger is set, it creates an airtight seal directly against the surface of your coffee or tea, minimizing the amount of oxygen that can degrade flavor.

Yes, the canister is food-safe and works well for any dry goods that are sensitive to oxygen, such as loose-leaf tea, flour, sugar, or spices. The airtight seal helps maintain the freshness and potency of these ingredients over time.

The stainless steel body is dishwasher safe, but the inner plunger lid should be hand-washed. The valve mechanism is delicate and can be damaged by high heat or harsh detergents found in dishwashers.

The small canister holds approximately 10 ounces or 250 grams of coffee, while the medium canister holds 1 pound or 500 grams. Both share the same 5-inch diameter, but the medium is 3 inches taller to accommodate the larger capacity.

The valve is designed to be low-maintenance, but you should keep it clean and free of debris to ensure a proper seal. If you notice the seal weakening, check the rubber gasket on the plunger for any buildup or wear.
