Picture driving home after picking up a 12oz bag from a local roaster I haven't tried before. The entire car smells gloriously of Carmel and peach. The aroma is powerful and invigorating.

Pan to Me only thinking, "damn that is some piss poor packaging"

I usually prefer to just store beans in oem bag with a good bag clip. I've tried other containers and feel like it's typically no better or worse. Going to throw a ziplock around this one.

Any other favorite storage methods?

A standard vented coffee bag has... a vent. So some smell is expected.

I just keep old coffee bags around if I need to store grounds or separate smaller quantities of beans.

I believe the objective is to reduce beans' and grounds' exposure to air, to reduce oxidation and flavor oil evaporation, so a standard coffee bag is the best way. Just squeeze out most of the air as you're resealing it.

Storing in airtight jars leaves too much air, IMO.
