The longer your food is exposed to air, the faster it loses its flavor. And while glass containers with airtight lids are a common solution, they end up trapping stale air inside Read More

I have a similar product (not clear, aluminum), that I store whole beans in. Mine squishes out the air like these, but then adds a second lid that seals the top of the container (you can use both or one, depending on your needs). Here is my unbiased assessment of the overall concept of squish-out-the-air-vacuum-seal-containers:
They are grossly over-rated ;- )
Yes, they seal out some air, but not more or better than you could achieve with a zip-lock bag. As to the benefits (at least where coffee beans are concerned), color me dubious. The air the containers remove doesn't actually create a vacuum, and from my experience, the flavor of the coffee that results would be indistinguishable from coffee brewed from beans stored less expensively or more conventionally. Coffee snobs will of course tell you otherwise--they have to, lest other coffee snobbers call them infidels.
Take if from me, a guy who already spent the dough--your grandma's Tupperware will do just as well.

RayFA coffee snob might also tell you that a metal storage container will react with the bean, thus ever-so-slightly changing the flavor profile. Those crazy coffee snobs.

Cheaper on amazon with prime shipping: https://smile.amazon.com/Fresh-Airless-Canister-handle-Medium/dp/B01IE9WZNS/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Prepara%2BEvak&qid=1554050576&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1
Unless you just gotta have the woo woo BLACK handles.

I stand corrected. Yet the price for the large 46oz glass container is still $0.01 cheaper on amazon including prime two day shipping. ;-)
The extra large is not available on amazon, so that may be the only bargain here.

KermudjinThose are the plastic(ABS) canisters-not glass. You can get a full set of plastic at Target for an even better price if that's all you require. However, glass is the superior option for long term storage, and will never distort.

Fair enough - It's been longer than I'd like to admit.
I don't think the massdrop model is anywhere near amazon though...

Sure would be great to know how many oz/lbs of coffee beans each size holds... anyone know?

I purchased the large for $19.99 in the first round of this drop, and it appears as though they're not really trying to offer a good deal here anymore with the +6 charge... that's $25 for the large (Amazon has it for $1-2 more and cheaper ones appear on eBay intermittently)

Okay, all you struggling mathematicians trying to determine what size container works for "x" number of kilograms or pounds, here's the deal:
Imagine you're a 2.2lb bag of LavAzza Super Crema beans (my brand) and you wanted to know what size you'd need to contain yourself--you'd quickly Google "Pounds to Ounces" and arrive at a conversion page where you'd enter "2.2 lbs" and quickly discover 2.2 lbs equates to 35.2 ounces. Then you'd check MD's Spec section and discover the proper size would be "Large (46 oz): 3.6 x 10 in (9.1 x 25.4 cm)"--because medium is too small and extra-large is too big.

You're more than welcome to repeat the exercise using volume.
Unfortunately, I can accompany you only so far on this journey, little Grasshopper--the rest is up to you.

I roughly compared the dimensions to that of a full 2.5 lb bag of my favorite Colombian Arabica, and realized I needed the extra large, as I always buy a new bag before the old beans are gone. I figure a little too much volume is better than not enough.

The specs here say the extra large is 84.5oz, but mine just arrived, and it is clearly marked: 75oz. A little false advertising. I mean, is there an 84.5oz that I should have gotten? Where did that measurement even come from. Kinda' shady. 🤔

I am very very frustrated with this buy. I purchased a small based on the dimensions given in the listing through Drop. I just received today and what I received is tiny. It does not match the dimensions listed and is NOT what I thought I was purchasing (based on the info provided by Drop). The small is NOT 8” tall as described. It’s only 4” tall. So now I’m left with a canister that I paid $13 for that is too small for me to use. Looking back at the dimensions now I can see they are all mixed up. According to the chart above, the Medium is smaller than the small. So annoyed.

Any chance there will be more in the large size? Clearly that is the most popular size.

If they were serious about trying to protect the stored contents, they would use dark glass.
