I purchased this item to store my loose-leaf Tea in. The stainless steel is beautiful and also very functional. However, the plastic threads on the mouth and lid did not meet my expectation of German design.

If you don't position the lid PERFECTLY it's not going to go on straight and you will have to try again. Plus the plastic thread insert in the steel lid is beginning to pop out on mine. In addition to all of this, the plastic used seems to be very rigid, but not very strong. Each time I take the lid off, I find tiny shavings of the plastic in the threads. This means there is also most likely plastic shaving in my Tea. Although this poses no health risk, it is high on my scale of "stuff that shouldn't happen in a product."

I'd recommend this product for storing non-food items only.

I searched a long time for these. I bought 6 of these canisters for my counter top to hold sugar, flour, pasta, etc. thinking it would provide for easy access and look nice at the same time. I agree with the other reviewer about the difficulty in perfectly aligning the lid with the container in order to close the canisters. In addition, 3 of the plastic thread inserts in the lid part have delaminated from the lids and are stuck on the canister portion. That however makes for ease in closure since you can just shove the lid back on instead of twisting. There are also tiny plastic flakes from the lid that are now mixed with the contents of some of the canisters. Overall, I like the look and will keep them, and they are more convenient for me only because if I didn't have attractive containers I would keep them in a cabinet.
