I almost bought one of these and then I asked the author of a number of books on coffee what he thought. He said he and his colleagues don't use them because 1) the vacuum action sucks oils and flavors out of the beans during each pump but 2) if you don't pump a lot, you're removing so little oxygen it doesn't make any difference. He noted that Illy and other non-Folgers type coffee bean dealers don't vacuum pack, they pack the beans in CO2 or Nitrogen (I think) gas, so that there's no oxygen, but the beans aren't being sucked dry of their oils and flavors. I think these canisters would be useful for creating a seal, but I wouldn't use them for really creating vacuum.

I like the air tightness in this product. It keeps my coffee beans fresh. If I have trouble with the seal leaking, I clean the rim of the container and wipe of the rubber seal. It seals and holds the seal for days and even weeks when I'm gone!

Bought this item a few months ago and have now figured out exactly how to use it. Instructions were not good. To ensure things are properly stored, one must exercise elbow grease and pump,Pump, PUMP! Not a simple, easy container to use, requires work and cleaning every time it is opened, but it does store things as described. Not sure it is worth so much effort. Opening it up is also time consuming, one must pinch the top just exactly right.

This has a great benefit to preserving coffee after its been ground. This product is not the easiest too find. I've never seen it in a retail store anywhere--glad to have found it here at Amazon!

I really wanted this to work but what I found is the vacuum is 50/50. I wipe down the inner rubber washer & the lip of the container & it's still hit or miss. Pricey for an iffy product; I'll search for better vacuum sealed container.

I got the Vacu Win starter set and a second canister for Christmas because I'm a coffee addict. I love coffee and this simple storage container helps me keep my coffee very very fresh. It's so simple to use and works wonders. No leaks and great negative pressure so I'm really happy!

Works great and you get dual use out of the pump you bought for saving wine. But the marketing and product development crew were sleeping when they sized this thing. The canister doen't even come close to holding a pound of unground coffee, the standard size in which most coffee is packaged.

I am very pleased with the Vacu Vin Coffee Savers, my only regret is that they are not made in different sizes and larger containers. They have performed flawlessly.

Does what it says it will do. Keeps coffee fresh. I purchased 2. I use one to keep my pet bird seed in. Keeps the seed fresh till your ready to use.
Must wipe the rim if you spill any coffee grounds. If you do not, the seal will not hold. Takes only a couple of seconds to wipe around the rim.

I bought the starter kit and 2 extra contaniers. They are JUNK and DO NOT hold a seal for more than 5 minutes. Save your money.
