Care & maintenance
Wood and glass both reward gentle hands.
- Wipe, don't soak: Use a barely damp cloth on the walnut rack. Wood and standing water are enemies, the grain swells, the finish clouds.
- Glass vials: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap. Dry fully before refilling, moisture traps stale oils and ruins fresh beans.
- Wooden lids: Wipe clean, never submerge. Once a year, rub a drop of food-grade mineral oil into the threads to keep them smooth.
- Avoid direct sunlight: The walnut finish darkens naturally over time, but UV speeds it unevenly. Keep the rack on a shaded counter or shelf.
Frequently asked
How much coffee fits in each vial?
About 1.4 oz (40 g) of whole beans per vial, enough for three to four cups, depending on your grind and brew method. The vials are sample-sized by design, not bulk storage.
Do the vials come with the rack?
Yes. Both the 6-slot and 12-slot racks include the corresponding number of glass vials with wooden screw lids.
Are the vials airtight?
The wooden screw lids create a snug seal, but not a vacuum. They protect beans from dust and ambient moisture, but for longer storage (beyond a week or two), transfer to a proper airtight canister.
What is this best used for?
Tasting flights. Rotating single origins. Blend experiments. Spice or tea storage. Any scenario where you want small, visible quantities organized on the counter instead of buried in the cupboard.
Which size should I pick?
The 6-slot fits a narrow countertop and suits a focused rotation. The 12-slot is for collectors, roasters, or café displays, more origins, more experiments, more visible storytelling.
