Coffee Canister with Window,Airtight Stainless Steel Compact Jar,16OZ

Size fits 2lbs of coffee beans perfectly, which is what was needed. It's large-ish but the black canister sets back on my counter nicely along with other coffee items. The lid closes tightly. It's lightweight but seems sturdy. (I wouldn't toss it around.) It should keep the coffee fresh over the couple of months it takes 2 people to go through 2lbs of coffee. The scoop is convenient, and I like the window version to see the coffee beans.

KUDOS to the company!! These are sooo solidly made! And they are as practical as they are beautiful—can even put them on the counter. I really did my research and could not find anything better. They really lock up to keep things fresh and when comparing the thickness of the lock with others at the store, these beat them hands down. Easy to open and close too. The medium one has a window which tells you at a glance what is inside, but for things like flour, rice, sugar you need the larger piece. The detail of a 1/8 stainless measuring cup on the outside of each canister is genius! Timesaver—it’s right there when you need it. If you have little ones or teenagers and are trying to get away from plastic, there’s nothing like stainless steel.Wash them by hand so as not to damage the date mechanism on the lid. I covered the lid with a Glad sandwich bag and was very careful that no water leaked inside. When you receive them, scrub the inside and the little cup WELL with a sponge. Make a paste of baking soda and a few drops of water, rinse and dry them well. Voilá! You only have to do this once. Very happy with this purchase. They will last forever.

Had this for a couple of years now. I loved the color when I got it and still do. The canister is well made and continues to have a tight seal keeping my coffee beans fresh.

**★★★★★ Perfect for Storing Loose Tea**I purchased these to store my loose tea, and they've worked out perfectly. The airtight seal helps keep the tea fresh, and I really like being able to see the contents through the window without opening the canister.The stainless steel construction feels sturdy and well made, and the included scoop is a nice bonus. They look attractive sitting on my countertop and help keep everything organized. Even though they're marketed for coffee, they're excellent for loose tea and other pantry items as well. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Well, how cute is this sitting on my counter! The perfect size. It is very well made and air tight, keeping my coffee beans fresh much longer. It even come with its own little scoop hanging handily on the side. Oh, and did I mention the window on the side making sure you always know exactly how much is remaining in the canister. This one is a winner!

Look, it's a canister. But it's a good canister, and sometimes that's all you need.What it does well:The airtight seal actually works - my coffee stays fresh noticeably longer than when I was just folding over the bag. No stale coffee smell when I open my cabinet anymore.The window is handy - I can see at a glance how much coffee I have left without opening it. Small feature, but surprisingly useful when you're half-asleep making morning coffee.Stainless steel construction looks clean and professional on my counter. It's sturdy, well-made, and feels like it'll last for years. Easy to clean and doesn't retain odors.Size is practical - holds a standard bag of coffee beans or grounds comfortably. Not too big, not too small.Why 4 stars and not 5:Because it's a canister. It stores coffee. That's it. It does this job very well, but there's nothing revolutionary here that would make me jump up and down with excitement. Also, the seal, while effective, can be slightly stiff to open first thing in the morning when I'm barely awake.

Perfect size to hold a bag ground coffee and super easy to use. Seals well without being overly tight. I love the window to see how much coffee is left, and the included scoop - solid and sturdy - is the perfect size. I also love that it mounts conveniently on the side when not in use. Just what I needed!

The canister is good for the long-term storage of coffee beans.From my experience (with similar product), it could be as long as 6 months - without noticeable deterioration of taste and aroma.That quality is provided by a proper design. The lid's seal seems air-tight and durable. The other important design element is the check valve in the lid. It prevents the air entering canister's interior, which could accelerate beans decay.On the other hand, that valve lets the excess of carbon dioxide (CO2)gas escape the canister. That gas is produced by beans as a normal process. With a proper design like this, your coffee beans are stored in the atmosphere of CO2, which is inert and harmless chemical. That also extends the storage time.One little disadvantage is that the canister is made of magnetic stainless steel, which is inferior to the non-magnetic one, in terms of chemical inertness.The size of my order (22OZ) accommodates about 1.5 lb. of beans, medium roast.
