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

 An absolute must to store your fresh coffee beans! July 6, 2001
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
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.
TRUST ME - GREAT PRODUCT July 19, 2002

I have never written an online review before, but I feel this one needs to get some positive feedback. The product is great. It does exactly what it promises. I can keep coffee well over a month with no noticeble difference in quality. It kills me that someone gave this two stars because it didn't come with the pump. It never claimed to come with the pump. It's a replacement canister, genius. Hence, the name. Once again, this is a great product. Buy with confidence.
Best way to preserve coffee! November 17, 2002

I home roast my beans and the Vacuvin is the best way to preserve the fresh flavor and aroma I crave. This is one of the best investments you can make if you are truly serious about your coffee!Purchase a wine kit or marinader to get the pump you need for the coffee containers.
Great line of products October 7, 2002

OK, from the very first line of "Features", it states: * Replacement container for Vacu Vin Coffee Saver. This is a replacement container. The picture, title, and description clearly states so. Of course it doesn't come with a pump.The Vacu-vin system is great. I've always wondered about those noisy machines that vacume seals your food but never wanted to spend the money for it. This system is cheaper and it really works. I love the hiss I get when I open the canister. If you form a tight enough vacuum you can actually feel the container expand a little when you open it, proving that air was drawn out thoroughly. Personally I prefer to pump rather than hook it up to a machine every time. Great product!
Works very well, losing vacuum seal easily fixed March 6, 2006

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.
