RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The first step of brewing a cup of coffee is getting the coffee bean, it could take up to 1 min from opening the coffee bag, grab the coffee bean, squeezing the extra air, to folding the bag back.
With vacuum coffee bean storage, which loses the vacuum in few hours or days depending on its sealing quality.
General food canisters increase the coffee bean in contact with the oxygen and moisture, whilst the amount of coffee bean in the canister decreases.
Air Kiss kicks all above hassle away, with a finger tip to lift the lid in just 1 second, and 1 second to seal it airtight. Keep the coffee bean fresher for longer!
CHALLENGE: The soft touch lid of Air Kiss has many wavy circle down the bottom, which is specially designed to absorb glass manufacturing tolerances. Compacts with 18/8 stainless steel in central touching area for reducing odor residue, and increases the stability on maximising the one-way valve function.
The lid comes in an elegant shape, and many wavy circles on the bottom around the edge. When pushing the lid into canister, it squeezes extra air out to keep coffee bean fresh for longer! With an ergonomics convex top on the lid, which is specially designed to put a finger tip in then lift it up in just 1 second!
