KC Kitchen & Co. Coffee Can Airtight for 1 kg Coffee Beans with Vacuum Lid (Holder for Coffee, Tea, Stainless Steel Storage Tin, Aroma Close, Storage Tin, Matte Black, 2800 ml

We all know that keeping coffee away from air helps it to maintain its flavour and quality. Whilst I doubt I'm refined enough to be able to tell if the coffee is six days or six months old, I nevertheless was interested in spending a bit of money on storage to address this. It seems like you can spend any money on vacuum coffee solutions but at £20 this seemed about the sort of price I want to pay, and going off the reviews and frankly being German-made, I had some reassurance that it was going to do the job. The item is a pleasing colour and weight, it fits in well in the cupboard and is stainless steel. Once you figure out the lid, which only takes a second really, it's very simple to use. Does it do the job? I suspect it does, there's lots of air rushing out of the whole when you push the lid down and once you've locked it shut with the button, you cannot lift the lid out again until you unlock it. Is it 100% a vacuum? Lord knows frankly and I doubt anyone can really tell you for certain. But I'm happy with it as a way to nicely store my beans in a manner that probably helps them to stay fresh.

Bought this for my Son who got a coffee machine for Christmas - and then started to understand more of the dark art of coffee making....with the top thing you need is fresh coffee beans. I googled what was the best way to store beans - and this product (or others like it) came up at twice the price - bought this and was very pleasantly suprised at the quality of its manufacture - its German and reflects in the quality. Son loves it - dead easy to use and will allow him to keep beans fresher for a lot longer by the simple removal of air.

Easy to use, effective to store over a kilo of fresh coffee beans at a time. Great value item. Keeps freshly roasted coffee beans fresh exactly as it should be.

This food container is a great idea, the lid fits _inside_ the container and slides down on top of the contents to exclude the dead airspace over the food. Twin silicone seals around the lid edge, and a valve in the lid handle which will then seal it. However, when used for ground coffee, the grounds get pushed up into the gap between the two seals, and taking the lid out always results in a scatter of coffee grounds on the worktop which then have to be cleaned up later. I'm sure it would be a good container for beans.

Great container for all sorts of food stuff

Perfect container for keeping my coffee beans fresh!

It is a good size, easy to use with a very good seal.

I had issues with the item, however the seller responded promptly with a solution.
