Are you roasting your own beans?
If you would bag the beans in a coffee bag designed to keep beans fresh would be the best way. A one way gas valve is needed to allow the gas the fresh roasted beans give off to escape, while not allowing any air back in. To know if the beans are fresh roasted the bag should be kind of puffy like a pillow for about 2-3 weeks after a month or more the bag will look vacuum sealed because the beans are no longer giving off any gases, and the people trying to smell the coffee while squeezing the bag force all the gas out.
Most wholesale coffee roasters will have these bags available, I know that I do.

Sorry but all this seems to me funny, "gaseous powder" is great invention, and especially when only you notice it.
That's not an insult? Really Demetri. you're quite biased. I give a perfectly sane and detailed scientific analysis of our research and the process and someone who hasn't done a second of scientific research puts down our very scientific approach as imaginary? Let alone the fact he obviously doesn't even know what sublimination is yet chooses to challenge it in a public forum.
Now when I say that the "art" of roasting is less than scientific and overrated, all the sudden I'm Satan? Yes it is threatening because it's so very true. Doesn't seem like a two way street though. You can say 2+2=5 and that's ok because you want people to believe it. I prove 2+2=4 and I'm insulting people and my methods for the mathematical proof are discounted as trash?
Is this a forum for open discussion of coffee roasting or a protectionist propoganda device for traditional wholesale coffee roasters? I didn't see anything about "only 150 year old technology" and Probat owners allowed.
