Coffeevac 1LB – Patented Airtight Container | Multi-use Vacuum Container Works as Smell Proof Containers for Ground Coffee and Coffee Bean Containers. Black with Beans

I was surprised to find out both how fast coffee loses its flavor, and how good fresh can really taste. I got into roasting my own green beans (available HERE on Amazon: Costa Rica Dota Estate, Green Unroasted Coffee Beans, 1lb ) with one of the poppers still on Amazon that will do so (they are HERE: Toastess TCP-713 Hot-Air Popcorn Popper and HERE: Toastmaster Hot Air Popcorn Popper TPC2 ), then brewing them in the inexpensive little Bialetti Italian moka pot (available HERE: Bialetti 6800 Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker ) for AMAZINGLY fresh coffee I'd never experienced being American! All the barista sites I've surfed (source aapbr dot org) told me that: green coffee beans, when cool and dark, last a year or two in storage, and some (Arabica) even get better with age. Once you roast them, after three or so days of CO2 release, they start to lose flavor within TWO WEEKS! Once you grind the beans, the grounds start to lose flavor in FOUR DAYS. This is all trumped by the correct storage techniques. Here are the ones I've tried on Amazon that work GREAT, and don't cost a fortune like the vacu seal machines that can be over $200 US! Green beans: I use the "pseudo vacuum" of the COFFEEVAC (see it here: Tightvac Coffeevac 1 Pound Vacuum Sealed Storage Container, Solid Black Body/Cap ) which isn't a vacuum at all, but works fine for green. Does NOT work for new roasted as it doesn't have a co2 release valve. Freshly roasted beans step one: For the first 3 to 4 days you need a container with a CO2 release system. One (the Friis, see it HERE: Friis 16-Ounce Coffee Vault, Stainless Steel ), is more expensive and has replaceable filters. The other (The bean safe, see it HERE: BeanSafe "The Coffee Storage Solution", Polypropylene -MOCHA ) is cheap, and only has a small valve, but doesn't require replacement filters. Freshly roasted beans step two: Best is to use right away after the three day roast period. Roast just enough for your next few day's needs. The normal popcorn popper will take 81 grams for roasting green beans (about ½ cup or about 5 tablespoons green). These yield (bigger) roasted beans of about 9 tablespoons. Since a tablespoon of ground is roughly the same as a tablespoon of roasted beans, and the moka takes 3 tablespoons for 6 cups of espresso/moka each pot, that gives you roughly three days of roasted beans. I keep the roasted (since they will be used in a few days) in the next "step up" of vacuum: a semi-true vacuum with the airscape sealer (see it here: Planetary Design Airscape 64oz Chrome ). This gets close to a "real" vacuum, and just enough to let a little extra CO2 escape over those 3 days. FINALLY, for fresh grounds, the most vulnerable, you'll need a true vacuum to extend the life. I use the handheld freshsaver from foodsaver (10% of the cost of the foodsaver system, see it here: FoodSaver FSFRSH0060-035 FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealer with Starter Kit, Red ) with the little "Tupperware" reusable foodsaver tubs. In the cool/ dark (don't refrigerate) this vacuum will keep fresh grounds fresh for over a week, close to the taste when just roasted. For background, I'm not a coffee snob, but as a throat cancer survivor I have barely any taste buds left and coffee is one of the few great tastes that still work. Also, the above is FAR less expensive than either buying drip or certainly Starbucks. Amazon has green beans of very high quality (see link in first paragraph). These can be (eg. Sumatran Arabica) over $40+ a pound roasted, not very fresh when you get them, and you can get them for under $10 at times on Amazon GREEN, REAL savings. Enjoy!

Love these for coffee beans and other products. Really traps the smell inside and keeps the beans fresh

The little air nozzle is neat and the coffee stays quite fresh. It’s great to pop it open and inhale the coffee aroma!

Tightvac Coffeevac CFVB Black Top/Black Body 1.85-Liter/1.6-Quart I bought this item to store my San Francisco Bay Coffee Decaf OneCup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers which aren't sealed in individual plastic cups. This is a functional storage container, very simple to say the least. Comes in a nondescript plastic bag, no instructions except for those cast in the inside top of the cap: "PLEASE KEEP THE INSIDE OF THE CAP AND THE TOP OF THE CONTAINER CLEAN". And from the Amazon product description: Color: Black Tightvac Storage System Containers vacuum seal to preserve fresh produce and dry goods longer than other typical container systems. Store food conveniently in Tightvac containers in the refrigerator, pantry, or on the countertop. The Tightvac easy to use patented closure system creates a vacuum seal simply by pushing the button on the lid as you close it. Tightvac Storage Containers can help you save on groceries by preserving the shelf life of coffee, tea, cereal, flour, herbs, spices, and other dried bulk goods. Eliminate the waste of throw-away storage systems by using a reusable Tightvac container. Product Features Color: Black Great 1 Pound Coffee Storage Container Easy Push Button Vacuum System Allows Coffee Bean Gasses To Escape Without Letting in Oxygen Wide Mouth Design Allows for Easy Scooping Odorless, Air Tight, and Water Resistant Reusable Durable Container and Lid Made from Food Grade BPA Free Polystyrene #6 Plastic To answer one persons question, you push in and hold the button when placing the cap on until the cap is seated, this allows the air to escape from the inside. Pushing in the button when removing the cap makes removal easier. No washing instructions, but its probably top rack dishwasher safe, at least the bottom should be. I suggest hand washing the top or just wiping out with a cloth damped with straight white vinegar. The valve is simply a shaft mounted with a spring and a rubber or silicone washer as the sealing device. You don't want to damage that washer. Is this a true vacuum, I doubt it, possibly a partial vacuum? I believe you are removing inside air equal to the volume of the inside of the cap or something close to that. I don't think you can achieve a minus air pressure without a suction pump and this container isn't strong enough for minus air pressure. There is no Freshness Valve so the coffee gases have to be removed only during the opening and closing of the container. This should be a good storage container for the normal life cycle of said coffee or other dry products. Good for camping, travel and so on, as well. Reasonably priced, many buy more.

I love it! The vacuum seal will keep my coffee fresh and I highly recommend this canister

I have three very snoopy kids and now that they're teenagers, I have to hide any trace of stinky Mr. Green that I have stashed in my desk. They come downstairs where my office is and they like to play Nintendo Switch on my projector. But I noticed that it sort of smelled like jazz cigarettes down there and it got me worried. My devil's lettuce didn't have anywhere else to go unless I was willing to go all the way down to the gross basement and hide it down there. But then the kids would be wondering why dad was CONSTANTLY going up and down the basement stairs. Better to find something to hide the gage smell close to my desk. So I went on Amazon and found this amazing Coffeevac, which promised to keep your coffee fresh as a daisy. But that's not what daddy was going to do with it! When it arrived at my home, I immediately brought it downstairs where I keep all my zoo-wee-mama. I had to kick my kid out because he was playing some Zelda game down there. Once he was gone, though, it was easy enough to unpack and load all my KGB into. To be honest, it was my wife who I was afraid would smell all the cabbage and get mad that I'm not hiding it well. I did NOT want to have that conversation again, let me assure you. So now my stash is all organized and safely unscented in my desk thanks to this amazing Coffeevac invention. I cannot recommend this product enough.

This is a great product! I would buy again and again. Hold a pound of coffee easy. Simply press in the button and pull up or push down and it removes the air. Man you can really smell the difference in the way it keeps your coffee fresh too. Would definitely recommend.

I wrote this review actually for four products as they work so well in concert: If you also buy the Tightac Coffeevac 1 pound canister to keep your coffee in you can say good-by to struggling to get your hand down in the bottom of those narrow coffee bags to reach the coffee in the bottom. It seals well, better than the bags the coffee comes in as it has a vacuum seal. It's very easy and a pleasure to use. The coffee bag hassle, every time you want to make some coffee, is eliminated. I like the Bunn Coffee drawer because I want to brew two servings (10 oz) at a time using the Coffee Drawer insert. I like to paper filter my coffee as that removes some oils in coffee that are not good for you and leaves you with all of the benefits of coffee. A 10Oz serving is perfect for the Contigo steel Desk Mug another product which I like very much when used with the Bunn MCU Single Cup Multi-Use Home Coffee Brewer. It keeps the coffee warm for a long time and has a vacuum set up that really seals the coffee in when the mouth piece seal is released. There is enough material in the Ekobrew Single Serve Filter single serve filters to allow two measures (a 10 ounce serving of coffee) to be placed with just enough room left over to seal the coffee grounds in the paper filter when the top screen of the Bunn Coffee Drawer (not the single serve Cup Drawer) is closed. I iron out the bottom of the paper filter with my thumbs and forefingers to increase its volume – works exceedingly well. All of these products taken together make a real winning combination especially if you want to brew two servings of coffee at the same time and use a paper filter to get rid of the unhealthy oils coffee contains. The Ekobrew Single Serve (don't let the name fool you it's just big enough (barely, and that is what you want it to be) is an essential part of this set-up. It seals so well almost no grounds get down into the Bunn Coffee Drawer. I can easily dump the grounds and wipe out the drawer and brush off the top screen with a Kleenex and I'm ready to go again. I wash the coffee drawer once a day.

Good product

Ich bin absolut begeistert von meinem Tightvac! Endlich habe ich einen Behälter gefunden, der meinen Kaffee perfekt aufbewahrt, ohne dass die Aromen verloren gehen. Das merkt man sofort beim Öffnen – es gibt einen spürbaren Sog, der zeigt, wie gut er verschlossen ist. Das Design ist schlicht und unauffällig, genau wie ich es mag. Mit einem kleinen Sticker kann man ihn problemlos beschriften, was super praktisch ist. Und durch die Schwarzfärbung bietet der Tightvac auch Schutz vor Licht, sodass ich ihn problemlos draußen aufbewahren kann, ohne mir Sorgen machen zu müssen, dass der Inhalt an Qualität verliert. Aber das Beste ist, dass er nicht nur für Kaffee ideal ist. Ich nutze ihn auch für Tee, Gewürze und sogar für Kräuter. Alles bleibt schön frisch und behält seinen Geschmack. Die luftdichte Versiegelung hält Feuchtigkeit fern und sorgt dafür, dass nichts austrocknet. Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist die einfache Handhabung. Der Behälter lässt sich leicht öffnen und schließen, ohne großen Kraftaufwand. Und da er in verschiedenen Größen erhältlich ist, finde ich immer die passende Größe für meinen Bedarf – ob ich nun eine kleine Menge Tee oder eine größere Menge Kaffee aufbewahren möchte. Der Tightvac ist robust und langlebig, was mir sehr wichtig ist. In der Küche, im Büro oder unterwegs – ich kann mich darauf verlassen, dass meine Lebensmittel sicher aufbewahrt sind. Es kann nichts auslaufen oder ausstreuen. Insgesamt bin ich rundum zufrieden mit meinem Tightvac. Er kombiniert Funktionalität mit einem dezenten Design und sorgt dafür, dass alles frisch und aromatisch bleibt. Ein Must-Have für alle, die Wert auf Qualität und Frische legen.

I like to buy coffee beans in bulk, and I have some smaller containers for weekly usage. So this is the back-up option for storing more beans than I would use in a week. Seals very well. A well-made product.

This container is great. It keeps my ground coffee fresh.

Me lo aspettavo più piccolo, però è davvero eccezionale, non crea un sottovuoto ma elimina gran parte dell’aria. Lo uso per caffè e mantiene molto l aroma dei grani. Fantastico
