Coffee Gator Coffee Canister 1300 ml & 300 ml, Airtight Food Storage Containers for Coffee Beans, Ground, Sugar, Tea, Flour, Rice, Cereal

Good quality

Such a good canister for my beans

Good product which keeps the coffee fresh for the whole day after it has been ground.

The coffee container large one is fine. The small one that comes with it is pretty useless to small.

Good container for my coffe beans, well made, with gas realease valve.

Got two of these now. Great for storing coffee

Brilliant canister..Nice & air tight so coffee doesn't stale.. Great lil measuring scoop..and a useful small canister too .definitely recommend..👌

The container itself is good quality and does the job of storing coffee well. It feels sturdy and looks nice too. The only downside for me is the price. I think it’s quite expensive, especially as you will probably need more than one container if you like to store different types of coffee or want extra storage. You can find similar containers elsewhere for much cheaper, so I’m not sure it’s the best value for money.

I expected more from this container. The dial on the top is redundant (Or maybe I just drink too much coffee?) - The latch does not feel very well made and as a result I worry about the seal.

The container is definitely over-engineered: there are two scales on the lid and they can be used to set the day and month when the beans were put into container or expiration date. However, the year cannot be set and in principle, these scales are not needed anyway: this is a container, not a calendar, plus, coffee lovers consume a pound of beans pretty quickly and I personally, don't need and don't use this "calendar" at all. The same with the stainless scoop - it is too small and not needed at all. I believe these amendments makes the container overpriced. Container is good, it keeps beans fresh and if you don't mind to spend extra bucks for useless features or to support the manufacturer, buy it. Update (after 2 months use) In fact, this canister is great: it keeps coffee so fresh that I don't distinguish aroma and taste of Lavazza beans stored in the container for two month and purchased right now (I intentionally experimented with that). Canister also looks very attractive because of slick and simple cylindrical shape, brushed stainless steel (exactly as shown on the picture), and black enamel on top. It is important that 1 lb canister is able to keep a bit more than a pound of coffee beans because the lid does not go deep inside the canister. Overall, every time I open it I enjoy not only a good espresso, but also look of the canister. Of course, there are the cheaper canisters on the market but this one worth the money I paid even if I don't use the scoop (my espresso machine has build-in coffee grinder) and dials. This canister is definitely of great quality product.

I am part of a small coffee "club" at work and we buy a giant 2.5lb bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee that lasts about a month. By the end of the month, and the bag, the coffee is stale. It smells and tastes much different than it did when it was new and it was always so obvious when we hit the end and opened a new bag. I decided to try out some containers to help keep it fresher longer and found this canister. It seemed good and the reviews looked solid so I went ahead and bought a couple (needed 2 to fit 2.5lbs of ground beans, in fact it fits perfectly when we open a new bag, scoop enough for a 12 cup pot, then pour the remainder in the canisters). I've tried a few different containers at home over time, and usually there's one thing I end up not liking about them. I had a glass jar from Walmart that seemed pretty good, but the metal latch was really wonky and did not close easily. A plastic container I tried had the rubber seal change colors on me after a few weeks, and even worse, trapped some water inside the hollow walls when I cleaned it. I have not found any issues with this canister. The latch is smooth, while definitely feeling like it gets a nice, tight seal on the lid. The material being stainless is great, it will be a breeze to clean if I ever feel the need to do so, probably just a quick wipedown with a damp cloth would do the trick. The dial on top is handy to remind you how long the coffee has been in there. On one of the two I bought the dial numbers were slightly off center from the window, but it wasn't a big deal. I really like the bonus stainless steel scoop, which replaced our little plastic one at work that had seen some miles. This one should last forever. So down to it, does this thing keep the coffee fresh? Less than a week ago we finished off the first bag since I bought the canisters. Comparing the last bit of coffee in the canister to a new bag, there was a slight difference in aroma, but nothing even remotely close to what I experienced before. The coffee definitely seemed much more consistent over the entire month. So I would say it was a very successful run, and I am glad I invested in these!

After a fair amount of research, I came across the Gator Coffee Canister. I wanted something the looked clean, was affordable, and did not have parts that had to be continually replaced. This is the only product I saw that met all my criteria. When I tried to buy it however, Amazon was temporarily out of stock. I contacted the company and they were so helpful. They apologized and said they would email me as soon as there were more in-stock. A few days later they let me know they were back in stock. I purchased it that day and it arrived a few days later (gotta love Amazon, even their ground is fast). To be honest, when it arrived, I was surprised at how small it looked. We have a heavy ceramic canister at work that is almost twice as big and really heavy. But the one at work does not allow the beans to vent and barely holds a 12 oz back of coffee. This one, on the other hand will easily hold a 16 oz bag of beans or grounds. I have now gone though several bags of coffee and I have to say, it smells as strong and as good when I use the last of the beans as when I first opened the bag. This is a great product, got it for a great deal and it is made by helpful people. If I could make one request, I would wish the canister was slightly larger. Or perhaps have it offered in two sizes. Since I have moved to the country, I find I am often buying the 20 oz bags of coffee as they are cheaper and I do not have to repurchase as often. These do not quite fit... Other than that, I am completely satisfied!
