Really Keeps Beans Fresh
This container really keeps my beans fresh. Just keep it in a cool dry, dark place and enjoy fresh coffee!

Works very well, losing vacuum seal easily fixed
I have been using the cannister for 2 years with excellent results. I use it to store a small supply of ground coffee, and am ordering a second cannister to store whole beans after I've opened the bag.
I, too, experienced the "losing the vacuum seal" that some reviewers have noted. In my case, I grind exceedingly fine, and if I allow some of the find-ground coffee up on the cannister sides where the seal fits, the seal will not hold. I routinely just run my finger around the inside top of the cannister after adding new grounds to remove the thin dusting of coffee, and have not had the problem. I do occasionally rinse the lid with water, but very rarely. I highly recommend this product.

almost perfect
This works better with beans than ground coffee, and I think the coffee stays fresher, but it's hard to tell after a week or two in any container. Ground coffee tends to break the seal and defeats the purpose of the vacuum. Washing the container out or using water to help keep the seal is a pain.
I'm surprised no one else has come up with the idea of a vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-charged coffee container. It could be a very good idea.
I also recommend buying two containers (holds one pound). You don't need the new pump if you have an existing Vacu-vin wine pump.

Lousy, threw mine out
I love their wine saver product, and use that all the time; what a great gadget! And I drink a lot more coffee than wine, and am at least as sensitive to the quality, so this sounded pretty promising. Unfortunately, I found it didn't work worth a darn. I was never able to get it to hold a seal satisfactorily, and so the whole effort of using this became a waste. Almost any container (ziploc, tupperware, mason jar, etc.) would be better. Sorry to say that, because the idea has promise and I like their other product quite a bit. I would recommend not getting this, based on my experience.

Not perfect, but still worth it.
After using the wine savers, I was eager to try the canisters. They do tend to come unsealed for some reason. However, when they hold (more often than not) they do a wonderful job, and have saved me a lot of food that would have otherwise gone to waste. I have kept rice cakes in these things for weeks, and they were as crisp as the day I opened the package. I kept store-bought cookies in one for close to two months - again, not a bit stale. I have noticed that any particles that adhere to the rubber seal or the rim of the canister seem to affect the seal, so I always check that no crumbs have stuck to either. The water trick suggested by another reviewer sounds helpful. My only concern there would be that that might introduce moisture into the canister. However, I am going to give it a try. All in all, these canisters are good. The seal does occasionally fail, but when it holds, it is wonderful. I am on this page because I am thinking of adding another to my set (I already have six canisters and two rectangular marinaters/containers, but I would use more if I had them). BTW, the marinater does a wonderful job, and I've never had a problem with the seal while marinating (shorter time in use, perhaps?). ...and it really does work fast!
