In detail
A caddy without a filter is unusable indoors after two days. A caddy with a filter that cannot be replaced is unusable after three months. This one takes a standard carbon disc, two are supplied and refills are cheap and generic rather than proprietary.
Five litres in powder-coated steel with a lid gasket, which is a fortnight for two people. Removable inner pail so the outer does not need washing every time. Dishwasher safe. Change the filter quarterly — the smell arriving is the filter telling you.
What it is not: airtight in the laboratory sense. A domestic gasket keeps coffee fresh for weeks and biscuits crisp for days; it is not a vacuum, and anything that has to be genuinely sealed for months wants a jar and a fridge rather than a worktop container.
Why this one. Storage is judged on the parts nobody photographs: whether the gasket comes out, whether the filter is a standard size, whether the lid vents, whether the footprint uses a shelf or wastes it. Those four things decide whether a container is still in use in three years or in the back of a cupboard.
