Purple Coffee Canister by BeanSafe Coffee Storage Solution - Stainless Steel Coffee Container with airtight Black Top

This is a beautiful, beautiful coffee storage solution AND it's QUIRKY so read this before you buy. You will love it ... once you've figured out how to get it to work properly. What doesn't work? Snapping the four lid snaps down in such a way that they actually snap and STAY snapped, thereby retaining the seal! While I was figuring out what worked, I had to use a stong rubber-band to keep them in place. Could I have sent it back? Of course. But did I mention it's a "beautiful, beautiful coffee storage solution"? I'm into great beauty AND perfect functionality: I was determined to find a way to make it work. The problem is two-fold: first, the glass air nozzle in the top (which is what makes this unit work so well in keeping the coffee fresh) gets clogged fairly easily. So one needs to wash the lid, dry it completely, and then secure it on the top of the cannister. Second, even when the top is free of grounds (even 1 tiny little coffee ground will clog it), the lid has to be very quickly and very evenly dropped onto the top rim of the cannister itself in order for all four lid snaps to actually snap and stay snapped. So, now you know! Use it in good health!

nice coffee canister and a plus with the keurig cup and spoon. these canisters are really nice in the different colors. I bought a couple of different colors so to tell the different coffees we have. they are good quality and nice enough to even set out on your counter and if you had glass doors would be a really nice accent. a little high in price at $20, but watch them, they do run specials. I got the blue and the purple. very nice. I would definitely buy these as gifts also.

Not sure I'm buying into this as the ultimate storage system, but it is pretty nifty and keeps me from keeping open bags of coffee beans all over the place. The scoop is a nice touch and the little K cup brewing thingie? AWESOME, so much better design than that gray looking beast. As a true aficionado, I gave up on K cups ages ago, but when I'm in a hurry it's so convenient. Since I don't keep K cups around, this was a great addition to the package.

This is my second bean safe, and I would buy another if needed. It's a good product and keeps my beans very fresh. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the beautiful red paint, which is my favorite, is not applied well on the can. At the top the paint job is uneven and doesn't cover completely. A minor issue, but worth mentioning.

Bought a couple years ago. Still great. Used every day, seal still seals, breather works. Money well spent.

I now own 3 of these, so I must like them. They hold over a pound of coffee, probably 1.5 pounds, they look nice, come in different colors to keep different brands separate. The measuring spoon is a nice addition. I roast my own coffee and it goes straight into these containers to keep fresh.

I'm not sure how the valve on this canister works, but I can tell you that our coffee, whether grounds or beans, always smells super-aromatic and fresh when we open it. It's nice and durable, too, and the metallic red is pretty. The reusable keurig-type grounds basket is a nice touch, though we use a french press so have not tried it yet.

Does seem to keep the coffee beans, either whole or ground fresher. The science behind it makes sense, allowing CO2 to escape without permitting air or moisture to enter. Just like the vacuum sealed bags of coffee on the store shelves that have the valve in the middle of the bag performing the same thing. See their website: [...]
