Coffeevac 1/2 LB – Patented Airtight Container | Multi-use Vacuum Container Works as Smell Proof Containers for Ground Coffee and Coffee Bean Containers. Blue Tint

I love everything about this, including how easy it is to open and seal closed.The 1/2 LB size holds quite a bit of coffee and leaves room for my scoop. It doesn't take up a lot of my counter space and I can actually keep it right next to my mini coffee maker and still have room for other things.I'd been looking for something like this because I either grind my coffee or buy it with chicory and leave it out in small quantities to use each day. This keeps the coffee from absorbing fridge smells and it keeps the coffee fresh when I leave it out on the counter throughout the day. Great price and now I am thinking of buying more in different sizes to store other things. One other nice feature is that I don't have accidental spills - like today when I knocked the canister over.

I recently got back into grinding my own coffee beans and maintaining the work of a French press, and I have three other TightVac containers. This is an appropriate fit for a 12 oz bag of beans, but I find it best to store half the bag at a time and freeze the other. I believe the container fits just about the whole bag to its brim-- but the container maintains peak freshness for about two weeks, and it takes me about three and a half weeks to go through a bag of beans with daily use. Maintaining freshness is all about keeping smaller quantities. About the container itself: It's a sturdy plastic, vacuum seal at the press of an innovative valve button. Stands at a little over 5" tall and is 4" diameter. The opaque black color keeps light out completely to maintain freshness. These are worth investing in for food storage.

This is a nice bargain for the price point. It's well made from a thick plastic, operates easily with only one moving part, and cleans up easily with soapy water.A partial vacuum is created when you push the top down onto the canister and most of the air is expelled automatically as you depress a small button on the lid.This size easily holds 1/2 pound of coffee, ground or whole bean.The only reason thing I would change if I could is that the manufacturer should have had the foresight in the design stage to make these stackable, so you could have your sugar container (and whatever else you want to stack up on your shelf or counter) neatly stacked with your coffee. I mean they will stack but not snug into each other so they don't slide around or knock over too easily.I did pack this in a travel bag the other day for a weekend trip to the beach. Had no problem with it staying securely closed either.If that last point doesn't matter for you then it's a 5 star review!! BTW - I paid full price so you can know this is an unbiased review.

Works exactly as described. Works great and looks nice.

I bought my Coffeevac in 2015 and am still using it. It was inexpensive and very easy to use. I chose the black Coffeevac to prevent loss of flavor from exposure to light, and I think that makes a difference.The seal of the lid is still tight after 8 years, but there is one downside. The plastic is rather thin, so it has split around the sides in a few places. I wrapped the outside of the lid with clear packing tape to keep it airtight, and although it still works flawlessly, it's a little disappointing that I had to do that. Having said that, I'll eventually buy another Coffeevac because I haven't seen any better alternatives in that price range.There have been a few reviews that mention how long you can store coffee before it becomes stale. Take those numbers with a grain of salt, as there are a lot of variables. Dark, oily roasts, for example, tend to become stale quicker. I cannot comment on how long the Coffeevac will keep coffee fresh, as I roast my own coffee in 1/2-pound batches (using the Fresh Roast SR800 roaster) and then let them rest for 4 days while I consume the previous batch. One could argue I should let the coffee should rest a couple of days longer, but I have found that 4 days of rest is enough for delicious coffee, and it will never go stale if kept in the Coffeevac and consumed within a week.

Does a great job of keeping the air & light away while looking good doing so

I absolutely love this container. It keeps the Coffee airtight and fresh. Very easy to use

It is indeed smell proof, even for the smelliest of things ;)

Parfait contient un pot de café très jolie sur le comptoir.

I already have the larger version of this and I'm very happy with it. So when I wanted another smaller one for the office, I went back to the same brand and got this one. Same quality as my previous one and it works great.I'm not sure why people say it doesn't create a vacuum, because it certainly does. They are either expecting some kind of electric pump to suck ALL the air out, or they just don't know what a vacuum is. Honestly, ignore their reviews.I store it in the refrigerator and it has kept my coffee tasting fresh. If that's something you want then buy it.

Ce bocal est trop petit pour contenir un sac de de café moulu régulier ,par contre le prix est élevé..

Excellent . I fill up with 250 gms and leave in the Fridge. Did have to make the grinds (Happy Donkey Italian blend). finer i use a Iberital Grinder. Some one did say about the label. I took mine off as well. But had no trouble. Boiling water for a few secs. Then some Alcohol on a cloth. Then a slight polish with 3M car polish. But maybe getting too fussy but it does look nice. I think. Bob. Enjoy.

Estéticamente no es muy bonito, es grande, pero hace bien su trabajo. Si no presionas el botón, la tapa ni entra ni sale, no se mueve. Es una manera cómoda y barata de almacenar por ejemplo los granos de café. Cabe una bolsa de 250 gr y todavía sobra un poco
