I bought this to keep a dietry supplement fresh. The dietry supplement has the servings for 4 weeks but by week two after opening the container the powder is caking. By week 3 I am chipping at what seems like setting plaster and in the last week it's a job to get a serving from it. I obviously keep all moisture and humidity from it, I have tried with past tubs storing it in carrier bags (which slowed down the caking process) but I was still wasting the 4th week of every tub.I bought this Vacu Vin Coffee Container specifically for this supplement. I put the serving scoop at the bottom of it and put the supplements whole tub into the Vacu Vin Coffee Container next to the scoop. I put the lid on it,

OK - I don't use this for coffee - it's too large for the smaller packets of ground we get from the supermarket (250g) and we get through them quickly enough anyway.I also have the vacuvin vacuum marinator (marinater?) but it is an awkward shape to fit into the dishwasher and is rather large.Enter this item, sold as a coffee saver. I find it brilliant for rapid marination of, say, enough chicken for several kebab skewers. I tend to put everything into a small, sealable sandwich bag as it keeps the marinade in contact with the meat and eliminates the mess. The deep shape is excellent for this. Then into the vacuum jar, pump the air out and get on with the other ingredients - 5 minutes is enough to make a massive difference.

I suppose the best way to make coffee is to grind the beans and make the coffee immediately. That isn't really practical for me. I'd be grinding about an hour before anyone else in the house gets out of bed.So I need a way to keep the grounds fresh for a few days. I purchased this a couple of months ago and it seems to work very well. Pumping the air outreally does seem to preserve coffee for that extra few days, I've used grounds up to a week after grinding and been satisfied that while not at its best it certainly wasn't stale.Roasted beans kept in one of these seem to keep for ages.I grind enough coffee to do me three or four days about 250 grams, so I rarely seem to have this more than half full.

I love my coffee and am fairly keen on wine too. I discovered the Vacu Vin wine pump many years ago and reckon it's a great way of sealing an opened bottle of plonk.I came across this sucker in a charity shop, unopened and just a few quid, so couldn't resist trying it, especially as my old coffee grounds tin was in poor shape. Also it comes with a pump which cost about £8 if bought separately. I wanted a spare for my Motorhome, bargain.It works really well, the seal is excellent and tight. The only reason only 4 stars is like others I find sometimes the seal has failed, don't know why and it might be operator error.The issue of poor instructions isn't one I have a problem with,

I checked Amazon.com for product reviews as I know this product is more widely used by our cousins across the pond. It was rated well and this gave me confidence in purchasing it. As ever, I can rest assured that if it is not up to the job, Amazon are there to help.I have recently gotten more into making the perfect cup of hand ground coffee in the mornings. Along side all the various kit I have collected, needles to say, the beans I buy are quite pricey and I found they were going stale quickly.I looked into various products/solutions and saw this recommended on a few coffee forums. It arrived well packaged (thanks Amazon, as usual) and is very well constructed.

Have been using this product for a few months now.Overall I'm very pleased with it.I store a couple of days worth of roasted coffee beans in the jar and it does a good job of keeping them fresher.The main enemies of coffee beans are air, light and moisture.The smoky plastic (looks a little darker in real life) seems to do the trick on the light front, although I keep the beans away from direct sunlight anyway.The best past is the satisfying hiss when the 'vacuum' is released.It's obviously a little more effort than just using a normal coffee can/jar, but the novelty makes up for it.One minor niggle would be that the lid is designed so that it can only go on one way, as the top of the jar isn't square.

Bought this based on the great product reviews when looking for a way to keep my beans fresh. Had it for 2 weeks now having put beans in it the day I got it, opened it today and they are still perfectly fresh, and smell great.The pump is included, and whilst it does take a bit more work than the electronic alternatives, you can be sure you get a perfect vacuum seal doing it by hand, and it doesn't require buying lots of batteries.The plastic is a smoky grey colour to help the light affecting the beans, but you can still see them inside.Also the shape of the container not being perfectly square also helps me as it makes it easy to fill the hopper of my super automatic machine.Also, so far anyway,

There's an age old debate over whether you should put coffee beans in the fridge or even the freezer. I think whichever side of the fence you stand, most agree that of vital importance is keeping them airtight. I only even fill my bean-to-cup coffee machine half full, because otherwise by the time the hopper is empty, you can taste a noticable difference in the freshness.This container is brilliant. You put the beans in the jug, put on the lid, seat the (included) pump over the little valve and pump out the air. You do around 5 pumps if full, and around 11 if half full. The lid is effectively stuck on by the vacuum. When you want to get at your beans, you just push the valve to depressurise and pop off the lid.After two weeks,

Purchased this to keep coffee beans fresh. When I bought the range of these I found it difficult from the reviews to work out how much coffee beans could be stored in each size. So: the 1.3 litre one will take 500 grams of beans (or pre-gound coffee.) The pump which comes with the more expensive 1.3 litresize is useful. A vacuvin wine pump does work but it's much smaller and would take more time to use.It is a bit of a faff using this size for twice daily coffee so I use the 1.3 litre size to store the remainder of the coffee beans I have bought by the kilo and use the smaller nut/tea bag saver for daily use (that one stores up to 250 grams) I do believe they go some way to keeping the beans fresh.

I purchased this both on the back of reviews on Amazon and the fact that I have and use the Wine Saver. The Saver seems to work very well in retaining freshness over a period although it too big for my uses. Holding 1.3L of freshly ground coffee is more than 2 whole packs (if you buy from a supermarket).The pump is larger and better than the wine saver pump I have (although you could use either pump on either saver) as it draws more air from with each pump.Ideally, it would have been the size enough for just one packet of fresh coffee as, realistically, i'm not going to use it to the full amount and it can become cumbersome to keep having to vacuum the container given the space. However,

I got this Vacu Vin Coffee and Tea Storage Container primarily for coffee beans, and I will be buying a second one for ground coffee too ... and possibly a third for cheesy biscuits.This 1.3L Container is great value as it is also supplied with the Vacuum pump, which can be used with wine bottles with an addition purchase of a set of stoppers.The container is a decent size, and actually makes a great present (with some beans) for some of my coffee loving friends.It is not really a faff pumping out the air, and now I have 2, I don't spend ages looking for the pump.Well made, works well, and keeps your coffee fresh.

I use this daily, and it's yet to fail me! I use vacuum desiccator chambers in my profession and the seal goes after a few days, so I expected nothing less with this product. However, the seal is great! I've left my coffee in this thing untouched for 2 weeks and the vacuum seal has been spot on - I tried to evacuate the container again but I couldn't budge it, so that tells me it's pretty solid.The only thing that would have made it perfect would be if the container was fully opaque, to prevent the coffee from oxidising in the light, but frankly that's just being ridiculously picky! I would definitely recommend this!

I bought three Vacu Vins in different sizes for various coffee related purposes. One container refused to keep its seal after a few uses (as others have commented). Emailed Vacu Vin who replied within minutes - they told me to disassemble the lid (remove valve from top, seal from underneath) and wash in the dishwasher - fixed the problem first time. Apparently the vacuum can fail from time to time due to grease building up on the seal. They offered to replace it if the dishwasher didn't fix it. Great customer service and (more importantly) fresh coffee!

Another item I have used before in another part of the world. So, arriving in a new city and taking rental accommodation, I had to get another of these marvellous coffee bean preservers. It was one of the first purchases I made, along with WMF pots and the Luxus One Click clothes dryer. Vacuvin products are well worth buying and this coffee Saver is a must if you enjoy good coffee where the beans have not dried out or gone rancid from not being kept well. My other Vacuvin products I have had for about 4 years now and they continue to do the job.

This storage container is really good, however, I did have problems with it at first.I was finding that I would use the pump to create a vacuum but after a few hours the air would return and the lid no longer seal.Recently I have found that I should have been using a different technique when using the pump. Pull the pump all the way up and push all the way down, don't just pull or push it half way. Keep doing this until it becomes very tight then quickly remove the pump. I was only pumping it half way.Hope this helps!
