Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This replacement container for Vacu Vin's Coffee Saver vacuum-pump system preserves the flavor and aroma of ground coffee, replicating the vacuum-sealed package the coffee beans comes in. The plastic container holds about 1/2 pound of ground coffee and stands 5 inches high (without lid). While it's ideal for coffee, the container is also perfect for any food that loses freshness quickly when exposed to air, including chocolate, crackers, and nuts. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must to store your fresh coffee beans!, July 5, 2001

By	"mlens" (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is the only way to keep coffee beans fresh as when I brought them home. With a few easy pumps of the VacuVin hand vacumn pump (the same system as I use with the VacuVin wine storage system) the container seals and the air is evacuated. This maintains the beans in the same state as when the were purchased in vacume packed bags.

2.0 out of 5 stars Short lived delight, July 3, 2003

By	"tati-m" (Stamford, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I have the Vacu Vin marinator and love it, so I bought the coffee saver thinking it would be just as good. It worked initially, but after three weeks of infrequent use I am quite disenchanted! The seal does not hold; I pump out the air and within an hour the air is back again. I'll still use it as a canister, but I would not buy any more. (I still love the marinator though...)

4.0 out of 5 stars Vacu Vin Coffee Very good if you know a few things, March 15, 2004

By	George L. Lemley (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What I have learned from a few years of using Vacu Vin products is they work very well if you wet the lid seal and the stopper ribs and slit before pumping down. The pump also does better with a shot of water down the neck. I love these products and water makes them work. I am in the process of ordering more.
