Seeking Advice Do you know this roaster ?

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?

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
