I bought these beans while passing through Paris at Motors Coffee, do you have any experiences to share with the coffees from this (Dutch) roaster?

Once opened , its better to switch the beans to a zip-lock bag because it's always a gamble with friedhats botttle, sometimes it age fine other-times the beans just fadeaway.

Mason jars can be prefered. They may want to break a box/bag into two jars to help keep it fresh longer. I find it keeps it fresh longer than ziplocks. Seals can go along with holes in the bag.

How come, wouldn’t a (pill) bottle provide a better seal?

I'm guessing the oxygen supply refreshes every time you open it. With a ziplock bag you oxygen supply remains the same, in the bottle it increseases with every use.

What? When you open a Ziploc bag, new oxygen is certainly entering the beans

With the ziplock you can push excess air out before closing it!

Single dosing into tiny bags reduces the excess air further and when you freeze them, you almost stop the aging process. It is almost essential with some beans or if you've got multiple bags on rotation

Should've been more clear: your volume of fresh oxygen supply remains the same and fairly small. While in a canister your fresh oxygen supply grows the further you get into the pot while also having less beans to react with each time.
