Reddit mentions: The best bulk food storage

Scavenger hunts are too much fun! I should be working! RAWR! Thanks for the fun break =]


1.) Something that is grey. My name is makeup and I am grey! WL

2.) Something reminiscent of rain. This color is called "Naughty Nautical". Nautical = water, water = rain. =D?? WL

3.) Something food related that is unusual. Pretty sure most people don't have teeney shaped veggie cutters. WL

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!) This is for my two parrots! My quaker especially loves dried papaya. I'm teaching her how to fly right now and have been using food as a reward, but we ran out of papaya a couple of weeks ago, and our local bird store has been out of stock for a long time. Turns out that Whole Foods doesn't carry dried papaya either. Rawr! WL


5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I had heard about this when the movie came out in English. I liked the movie and then moved on with my life. Come this spring, I found myself facing a LOT LOT LOT of driving by myself, so I started borrowing audiobooks from the library. I borrowed all three of these books and REALLY enjoyed them. It wasn't at all what I expected. They're murder mysteries with a lot of themes about violence against women. When I learned about the author, it became that much more interesting. The author wrote these books with the intention of making 10, but died after the third one. They found them after he died. The themes about sexual violence stem from a gang rape he witnessed as a teenager. He never forgave himself for not being able to help her, so he channeled all those emotions into his writing later in life. Anyway.....interesting stuff. Good books. I recommend them :)


6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! Pfft.


7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...) If I was a cat, this would be my JAM!


8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. Dresses are admittedly useful for avoiding public indecency charges, but not really useful beyond that. BUT LOOK AT THE RAINBOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WL


9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? Not on my wishlist (it's on American Netflix though!), but everyone should be aware of the impact of plastic on the environment and our bodies. Education is everything. Plus, there's a newborn baby at the end.


10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. 1. Stab zombie in the skull. 2. ??? 3. Profit. The reviews rave that it's super sharp and doesn't stick so it probably wouldn't get stuck in their skull like other knives. WL


11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I don't know if I'd use the word profound, but it would sure help me out. A big passion of mine is learning to ID birds. I'm pretty good at most birds, but finding information on juveniles is VERY difficult sometimes. I've used this book before to help identify birds in hand, but I think the information regarding juvenile plumage would help me identify young birds from afar. It's even part of my job to identify birds! WL


12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. This is an Add-On item, but it's also a hair addon =P Not on my WL, but I'm losing my hair like crazy so I might have to look into these >.>


13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? This isn't the most expensive item on my list (that was #8), but it's the one that would help me the most! When I do field work, I tend to have a lot of gear on me at once, and the extra strain of binoculars around my neck tends to give me some really freaking sore muscles. A harness would be MUCH easier on my shoulders/neck/back. I start field work again in October, so I plan on buying it for myself by then anyway =] WL


14.) Something bigger than a bread box. EDIT A bread box is typically similar in size to a microwave. This is larger than the average bread box.

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball. I am smaller than a golf ball! WL

16.) Something that smells wonderful. This smells amazing!!! I'm infatuated with cinnamon, but had to stop using cinnamon Crest YEARS ago because I developed a bad reaction to it. This stuff is expensive, but the company is very environmentally responsible and I feel good giving my business to them. WL


17.) A (SFW) toy. This seems pretty SFW unless you're playing Cards Against Humanity. evil grin WL


18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school. I used sticky notes all the time in school! WL


19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. I've obsessed with birds since I was 11. I've been obsessed with rainbows forever. I'm currently obsessed with sushi. THIS IS ALL THREE! WL


20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. Hear me out! This baby can keep ice for DAYS. Sitting out in the sun for hours on end? NO PROBLEM! YOU'LL HAVE ICE AT THE END OF THE DAY!! Seriously, Thermos needs to pay me for how much I rave about their stuff. My water bottle has still had ice in it after three days AND being refilled twice. No joke.

This beauty was made in OR.


fear cuts deeper than swords. She is my favorite character by far :)

You don't need much to get started with loose leaf tea. My set-up at work consists of the hot water dispenser on the coffee machine, a rather typical travel mug, and this bad boy from B^3..

Outside of that, the other wares I have consist mostly of things you'd find in just about any kitchen (a teapot, spoons...you get the idea).

The only other thing I've bought for the habit is my growing collection of tea tins. That's something you'll see in any tea-lovers cabinet, as loose leaf comes in bags which bring with them an array of disadvantages when it comes to storing tea and keeping it fresh for as long as possible.

You don't need anything fancy for tea tins, either. I've never spent more than 5 dollars for a single tin, most of them I've bought for 3. A cursory search of Amazon brings up this set of 3 for 9 bucks.

Of course, the most important part: The tea!

Every tea lover who really does have an appreciation for the taste will, at some point, eschew tea bags altogether. Tea bags typically contain bottom-of-the-barrel (quite literally) tea that provides a mediocre experience and is best reserved for those who prefer to turn their tea into sugar water rather than those who truly love the taste of a good brew (that's not to say that there is never a time to add milk or sweetener to tea, though...you just have to be very deliberate about it, and you should always try the tea first and get an idea of the flavor profile, and what, if any, additions will help to bring out more of the profile).

Around here, you will see a lot of love for Adagio teas. They are a great online source for tea of all types, you can find good cheap daily brews and the fanciest, special-occasion, 20-dollar-an-ounce tea as well. They also have reputable customer service.

Republic of Tea is another contender for a good online presence, but they do have a quite a bit of questionable-quality teas, and they are a bit more expensive than Adagio from what I've seen. If you go there, it's best to do so as an educated buyer with a good idea of what you're looking for. They rarely "feature" their best teas, but then no one really does that. The thing about REALLY good tea is that the profit margin on it is razor thin, so you usually need to do a little exploring to find it.

Teavana is another place you will hear about from time to time, usually in the context of severe disdain. They are wildly overpriced, and stories of questionable business practices have permanently marred any reputation that they ever had. Most r/tea subscribers will vehemently tell you to avoid them, myself included.

The best place to buy tea though, unfortunately is not available to everyone: It's at a locally owned specialtea (sorry) shop. They are owned and operated by people who live and breathe tea. Most will create their own blends which you simply can't find anywhere else, and are incredible. Also, they are a great place for buying high-quality estate teas.

One other thing you should know: Higher quality loose-leaf tea will resteep a few times while holding up its flavor rather well. In fact, some teas (particularly white teas) don't even really open up until the 2nd and third steeps. To this end, you will actually find that your habit of buying 10-dollar-an-ounce tea and drinking it daily isn't as impractical and unaffordable as it would ostensibly seem.

My advice to all tea drinkers: Try a lot of teas. I keep a "daily drinker" (a white ceylon) on hand at all times, but I always have a rotating stock of fun blends and exotic estate teas. It makes it a lot of fun, even if it also makes you seem a bit weird to people who don't drink tea:)

I know you said something about salads not filling you up. This is troubling because either one of two things is happening to you. 1) You are not really burning fat instead of carbs because the combo of healthy veggies and meat/fat isn't filling you up. or 2) You are making really lame salads. Let's assume 2 and fix the problem!

Mark Sisson (yes I'm a really big fan of his) has a giant salad every day for lunch and I tend to also because it's so easy, so versatile, and so Primal! You can literally put whatever you want in it so you don't get bored, and it's basically just the combo of whatever greens you want, topped with sources of other healthy vitamins/minerals, protein, fats, and flavor! And, if you have a decent-sized salad with enough in it, you'll get full/bored long before you run out. If you're not, then ADD MORE.

Here is Mark's article about some classic recipes (including a video for his "two minute salad", another article discussing the "create your own salad adventure" concept, and one for 10 DIY dressing ideas. There are also tons of recipes on the site if you get bored.

My advice? Prep work! Buy enough tupperware to last you an entire week: put the salad greens (and any dry-ish veggies that won't get weird) in a big one, and then use little ones for different toppings, or combine the toppings into one (depends on what you're putting in it), then use a small one for dressing. Grab one set each day. Done. Or, you can get compartmented containers to do this all in one container. I have this and it works nicely (you can freeze the green thing so it keeps your salad cold without a fridge).

So yeah, I'd really lean to that. Otherwise, your options are leftovers, or just collections of meat/veggies that aren't a salad (here's another cool freezey container I have and like, and one for soup that stays warm). Again, regardless of what you do, prep work makes it much much easier. Make it for a whole week, and then you don't have to worry about scrambling and compromising later.

Another (last) thought, you mention the "snacking on non-paleo snacks". Grok didn't eat constantly; he ate a meal and didn't eat again til the next. If you are an efficient fat-burner (as all us Primal/Paleo folks work to be), you won't really get so hungry in between meals anymore. The snacking, then, really is more of a function of either dehydration or boredom. I'm not sure if this applies to you, but it certainly did for me, so I just wanted to throw it out there as something you might want to examine. And/or get yourself some fairly non-perishable Paleo-approved snacks to keep around (fruit, nuts, jerky) so that you don't have to turn to the other stuff. But, like I said, one of the awesome things I've encountered from this process is not having to carry a snack anymore. Not messing with your glycemic loads means you can keep a fairly even-keeled system all day without worry about suddenly getting hungry and needing a snack.

Ok, seriously: last bit of advice... read Paleo/Primal blogs! I get tons of ideas from that about how to fine-tune life as well as tons and tons of recipe ideas so I don't get bored. My favorites?

• Mark's Daily Apple
  
• Everyday Paleo
  
• TGIPaleo
  
• PaleOMG
  
• Paleo/NonPaleo
  
• Paleo on a Budget
  
• NomNom Paleo
  
  Each of these has its own angle and awesomeness that it brings to the table. Yes I listed a lot. However, they post with different frequencies and with different intensities, so it's really not much to keep up with. I use Google Reader to subscribe to them all and then I can read it all in one place. It works pretty well for me!
  
  I know that was long, but i hope it helped :)

Sounds like you're indeed on the road to be a coffee snob, just like me!

If you like Ethopian, try Kenyan. Most Kenyan varieties have a more pronounced, wine-like flavor. Other good types from the region are Rwanda, Zambia, and Tanzania--all feature similar notes but offer varying degrees of body/flavor.

My favorite specialty roaster is La Colombe out of Philadelphia--I've been to their flagship cafe many times and have met the owners briefly.

The Kenya in stock right now is their best yet; simply outstanding, especially in a Chemex (pour over) or French Press.

This Rwanda is also next up this weekend:

One more geek tip: Invest in a good storage canister to keep your beans tasting fresher longer. I have a Coffee Gator that I got from Amazon--it has a CO2 valve which helps beans stay fresher for a much longer period of time.

https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Canister-Gator-Built--Valve/dp/B01CX64784?th=1

I didn't end up buying it, but the basic setup was inspired by the BOTL thread linked here

The shopping list for my proposed build was:

1. 50 Cup Lock & Lock - $39
   
   
2. 4 Small Cedar trays from cheap humidors.com - $60 total
   
   
3. 4 pack of Boveda 65% - $16.88
   
   I didn't bother with a hygrometer or anything like that for the original project spec since the seal on the container gives me enough security to think that a hygrometer would be unnecessary, but due to the volume of cedar I may need to change my thought process and add one to the build. The cost to add a decent digital hygrometer with the Boveda calibration and seasoning kits and the price is already over $140.
   
   Sure, its an over the top tupperdor, but its still a tupperdor. At this point, I may be better off getting a Savoy so at the very least my girlfriend will be open to the idea of me carving out a small corner of our shoebox of an NYC studio apartment to include a reading chair with an end table/liquor cabinet for me to store my whiskey in the cabinet, and my cigars in a humidor on top. Still can't smoke in the house, but a small oasis is better than no oasis at all.

Looks like a pretty good list. Many of those exact things we purchased without using a list and we use them every time we go out but we did things the opposite way.
It was very hard (Costco member here), but we bought our RV first --> then bought things as we went along. The first time we took out the RV we camped about 5 miles from the house. We loaded the RV with all of the camping things we already had; we bought nothing new at all except food, (we threw in some ice cream since we considered it a lux to have ice cream while camping). We made a good list of things we needed while we camped as we went along that first trip. I did have to run to the house to get a few missing items, I don't see how anyone could not forget some crucial item the first time camping in an RV (tongs). After that first trip, once we "transitioned" from tent camping to RV camping, it was on. It was death by a thousand razors. Amazon had a stop at our house almost every day for a couple of weeks. Looking on this subreddit and others, my list began to grow.
One thing that really helped out was this post from u/pjjtlc. It was one of the first threads I read on this sub and it really helped me. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoRVing/comments/6igjwk/trip_report_1500_miles_for_our_second_trip_with/
We ended up waiting on a few big-ticket-ish things like the generator. Until we knew what we wanted. We did't buy one until we needed it (ECLIPSE 2017!). We ended up with a "hybrid" generator - the Champion Hybrid 100302. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1yGsFjKoO4&t=165s). It's not the quietest, but it does a great job of powering our larger AC unit.

There are a couple of things on the list I don't have that I wish I had (tire pressure gauges), and there are some things on there I don't think I would ever need like circuit readers and the tool sets. I just bring my own tools I already have. 85% of that list I own and use every time we have gone camping.

Also, for the spices, we went with this - https://www.amazon.com/12-Tins-Talented-Set-Refrigerator/dp/B01FY69CPS/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1506637758&sr=1-4&keywords=magnetic+spice+tins

• Also, we use an app such as "Wunderlist" to create going-out, and coming-in lists to make sure we grab everything and secure everything. There are thousands of pieces to an RV trip. In our case, as many others have said before the wife does the inside stuff I do the outside stuff - generally. There is a little bit of cross-over and unfortunately, that doesn't include the poop shoots.
  
  TLDR: That is a good starting out list; hold off on a lot of things until you know exactly what you want and what you need.

This is a little thing but usually in thrift stores you can find wooden potato bins, theyre like little skinny dark storage compartments that are great for storing onions and potatoes if you're living in an apt. Also you can find (and make!!!) a reusable sack to bring to the store with you. They have them on amazon for pretty cheap here however: https://www.amazon.ca/LEPKTSN101-Eddingtons-Potato-Storage-Case/dp/B008VSBQQ0/ref=asc_df_B008VSBQQ0/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292927302851&hvpos=1o7&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3821310758314169914&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060815&hvtargid=pla-420109846693&psc=1

What are you looking to spend? Did you check ebay? I found these, but they might be much too small/cost too much.
[One](http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Fresh-floral-style-3-kinds-Retro-style-Cylindrical-structure-tea-Tin-Box-/181473789932?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2a40ae47ec}

Maybe these?

You might just have to keep an eye out at places like eBay, Craigslist, Goodwill, garage sales, etc until you find ones that you like/are the right price/are the right size. If you don't need too many and have enough time it wouldn't be too bad!

PS Maybe you could get something like these and decorate them yourself with fabric! You can just find a fabric you like, cover the tin with it and cover it with Mod Podge. Then they could be more customized to your colors too.

PPS Also found these

PPPS Also maybe these or these from IKEA?

PPPPS Maybe also this one or these plain black ones--$1.00 or $2.00

I'd recommend to get her something tea-related, rather than actual tea. It's always iffy getting someone something they're guaranteed to have strong opinions about. Maybe some nice tea canisters (1, 2, 3, 4) if she drinks loose tea, or a tea chest if she mostly uses tea bags?

The problem with asking us is we're likely to try steering you towards the ever-more-involved and obsessive brewing methods and fine teas we enjoy, which may or may not be what she likes. :-)

I like to use tea storage canisters for my foods. They're like these: https://www.amazon.com/leyoubei-Kitchen-Storage-Containers-Colorful/dp/B06XFVCQ99/

Sometimes I get them free at work and they are great and airtight.

Magnetic spice jars!

They're amazing. Just stick em on the side of your refrigerator.

They come with tons of labels for the spices too. I got a pack of 12 as a gift and they've been awesome. I'm going to get more.

Bread freezes well, especially sourdoughs or other hard exterior breads. I'm not sure about the flimsy grocery store breads... It's not that much cheaper if you're throwing it away anyways.

As an undergrad, I once bought two giant loafs of the "artisan" bread after 5PM with buy 1 get 1 free from an expensive local bread place, asked them to slice it, brought it home, made a garlic butter spread, and froze garlic bread which I could then take out of the freezer and have toasted in about 10 minutes—perfect while getting the pasta cooked. Lasted all semester.

Toasting frozen bread is easy—get a pan, put putter in it, and in goes the bread, flip once, done. (I assume it works just as well on a toaster, but pan works better because now you have water/condensation too and steaming)

For fruits and veggies, get yourself one of these sets: https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-GreenSaver-Produce-Keeper/dp/B00TO8X3B2

Those will make your produce last much longer. Spinach, for example, lasts at least a week and looks fresh just as the day you bought it.

Also, choose produce that works well for keeping long. For example, if you want salad, don't get romaine lettuce. Get green cabbage. You can slice that really thin to make salad, put it in stir fry, make coleslaw, etc. It's less bitter than romaine lettuce, too. Buy apples instead of bananas. They keep longer. Even better is watermelon. Cut it up and it'll last a while in the fridge. Doesn't oxidize/bruise unlike apples or bananas. Freeze peaches.

Carrots and potatoes last a LONG time in the refrigerator, especially with the oxo containers.

Freshware Meal Prep Containers [15 Pack] 1 Compartment with Lids, Food Storage Containers Bento Box | BPA Free | Stackable | Lunch Boxes, Microwave/Dishwasher/Freezer Safe (28 oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073TRVFZS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JA-hDb2RCFEB2

Went to the Amazon app and clicked on the share button. This is the one I got.

Got two of these. Set for a while lol.

It depends on how many kinds you have, and how much of each you usually keep.

A few dozen of these tins, a few stackable shelves, and a good labeler is all you really need. Personally I'd recommend keeping to one single size (8 oz in my case) for easy stacking, and arranged alphabetically.

I will not ignore a Tom Waits poster!

I see you have some good quality pots and pans... that is invaluable! I have thrown away more crappy pots and pans than I care to admit.

But... you will need a baking tray for odd foods here and there.

And perhaps a rotary whisk/egg beater. I prefer the hand tools because I like to have more control over the mixing. (And I can take them camping and use them in a power outage!! In case I need to bake a cake in the dark!)

Wooden spoons!! I love wooden spoons for just about everything.

Also check out Kiwi knives... excellent quality. Last a lifetime.

Everyone needs a good cast iron griddle or skillet.

Lets see... what else...

How about serving dishes? A mustard pot (that's a British thing right?)

You will need some dishes and some silverware.

Whew!! Well I stuck with just the kitchen stuff, but there ya go!

Holy smokes, batman!

I would love this pasta container!

Your costume is cute!

I exclusively use the lock n locks to store all my stuff.

A few notes would be, if you're storing boxes, just buy the biggest lock n locks you can get, something like this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lock-Rectangular-Storage-Container-Clear/dp/B001CMUOBK/ref=pd_sim_201_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WM4TBGDFWMMQD8A8GKQN

If you're storing relatively loose cigars, what I like to do is bunch them up into bundles and tie them up with some ribbon so they stay sort of together, I put those in smaller lock n lock, typically this one

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0000AN4CT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also as a note, those Boveda packs last WAAAY longer in tupperware than in humidors, I think I have at least 1 that's been going for a couple years at this point without drying out.

As for cedar strips, honestly you might have some luck asking in the places you're buying from in Barcelona.

I use a canister like the one in front (except it's white) I found it at Target on clearance a while back. http://www.amazon.com/Anchor-Collection-4-Piece-Ceramic-Canister/dp/B0030IMF8E/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1344132666&sr=8-12&keywords=coffee+canister

but these are very nice options as well

http://www.amazon.com/Tightvac-Coffeevac-Black-1-85-Liter-1-6-Quart/dp/B0046JB136/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1344132666&sr=8-4&keywords=coffee+canister

and

http://www.amazon.com/Friis-16-Ounce-Coffee-Vault-Stainless/dp/B001V9VDP0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344132666&sr=8-1&keywords=coffee+canister

I've been using this OXO airtight container for a while now and it keeps my coffee nice and fresh, looks really nice too.

Sure magnetic spice containers. I’ve had these for a couple months now and they work great, even with daily use.

My girlfriend actually got it for my birthday yesterday! It is actually awesome because I had all this tea from teavivre, harney and sons, adagio, octavia, and teavana that are in bags and now I have somewhere to store it.

I asked my girlfriend and here is the link (she didn't really want me to see it, but I always try to help out a fellow r/tea.

Just be aware that they are not that big. They can only hold ~4 ounces of tea depending on the tea you are buying. The bigger ones you see came from teavivre and teavana.

If I had $70 I would do a build your own sampler. Invite some friends over and burn through them.

https://www.cigarsinternational.com/p/build-your-own-mega-sampler/2010403/

My choices would be

1. HC Series Maduro2 Robusto
   
   
2. Diesel Unlimited d.X
   
   
3. Romeo y Julieta Vintage #7.5
   
   
4. Rocky Patel ITC Limited Reserve Bear
   
   
   
   You're also going to want to store them somewhere. For an additional $16 on Amazon you can get this and this
   
   You can store them under your bed. That boveda should last you a couple months. After that you can either buy a new one, or spend $1 on a gallon of distilled water. Soak your boveda for a few days until the hard chunks inside are gone and you're ready to go again.

Not 100% sure these are the same tins, but they look awfully similar: Amazon

But ...it's probably better to just check amazon for Magnetic Spice Tins and find something that suits your own needs.

They also sell them in store at all of the places you'd think they'd sell them.. Bed Bath and Beyond, World Market, Ikea (I think I saw them there?), etc.

Thanks, man! It’s a Coffee Gator jar. We also use a ceramic Airscape jar for our espresso beans (not pictured). Links below.

I use a Coffee Gator stainless steel container myself. I store beans in there for 3-4 weeks (I only brew at home on the weekends) and it does a great job. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H38T264/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use very tall jars like this one. Usually they are for holding spaghetti, but I can fit quite a few bombs in there!

I use OXO airtight containers. Seems to work pretty well for me. I go through a bag of coffee in about a week or so.

I'm not sure, maybe these http://www.amazon.com/SpiceCubed-Empty-Tin-JUMBO-PACK/dp/B006R7FPXM

Cool teapot :)

I didn't realize the magnet on these is on the bottom of the tin.


I'm not so confident in the quality of the tin (they stick a bit...) but they've freed up a drawer since I can stick them on my fridge. https://www.amazon.com/12-Tins-Talented-Containers-Refrigerator/dp/B01FY69CPS/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=spice+tins&qid=1569615735&sr=8-4

I was given these as a present but i found These at Amazonia. I hope this helps.

I like the tinted OXO Pop containers

I found a ceramic canister with a clamp top lid similar to this at goodwill a while back. Before that I had been using a glass jar which I knew was bad for light reasons. I do end up leaving quite a bit of beans in their original bags on the counter though, so I can remember what they are and when they were roasted.

Like pretty much everything else, light and oxygen will degrade coffee so just use something which can mitigate that.

I'm not sure it is really necessary to vacuum seal your beans. The main requirements you are looking for are:

1. Airtight
   
   
2. Dark
   
   
3. Dry
   
   
4. Room temperature
   
   
   I use one of these and my beans seem to stay fresh for a reasonable amount of time.

And by hot it's 29 degrees Celsius!

Here's my item

I just store mine in the container that it came in (tins for the loose leaf). I looked on Amazon and found these tins that seal the air in.

Anyways, hope you find what you are looking for.
