ProKeeper Coffee Storage Container with Scoop, 1.5 Quart – Tinted, Airtight Plastic

My old coffee canister cracked so I ordered this coffee keeper from Progressive International and is simply perfect for keeping my ground coffee fresh. It's large enough to hold enough coffee to last me a few days yet small enough to keep on the counter without cluttering it up. There is a handy scoop that attaches under the lid. The seal is TIGHT and it snaps in the closed position with a clicking noise so you know it's secure. The smoke colored see through plastic container allows you to always see how much coffee is being stored. It's also easy to keep clean as I rinse the inside under running water and wipe the outside clean with a damp sponge before drying with a soft rag. I'm a bit uncomfortable putting this canister in the dishwasher due to the rubber seal and possible "etching" of the plastic. To make this container a bit more decorative in my kitchen, I used my Silhouette machine cutter to create vinyl labels which adhere perfectly to the plastic finish. Very pleased with my purchase.

I now own six of these storage units. I purchase my coffee from an online vendor out of Canton, GA. In my opinion, they do sell the greatest coffee beans or ground coffee in the US rated by selection. I had been using another type of container but where these have a silicon seal the others I have used in the past do not.The silicon seal is the best thing about these containers. It may not provide a hermitical seal, but it well keeps out extra oxygen from getting in when not in use which can only degrade the coffee’s goodness.These are a clear gray color with just enough gray to keep out harmful rays of the sun. And last but not least, when opening the cover, each storage container contains a one-tablespoon scoop to be used to measure the coffee when placing the grounds into your coffeemaker in preparation of making a great cup of coffee. Remember, that to make a great cup of coffee, you need to have fresh, cold water, fresh ground coffee which has been contained in a great storage container that seals out harmful sun rays, and a truly good coffeemaker like the Moccamaster. Add to that, you need to use two tablespoons of a great coffee for each six (6) ounces of water. More than this will make it too strong; less will make the coffee too weak. Personally, if I add MORE than two tablespoons of coffee for every six (6) ounces of water that will be fine because I like a good cup of strong coffee, especially for the first cup in in the morning. But less coffee or more water will be too weak—asking for a TRULY BAD CUP OF COFFEE.Whether you purchase your coffee locally or online, if you are a true coffee lover, don’t purchase just one kind of coffee. Buy several types—one or two from Africa, one or two from India, and the same from Southeast Asia. Although I don’t care for coffee from Mexico or Central America, do try a couple from this region. That said, DO BUY THOSE FROM HAWAII AND JAMAICA. Most will say that the Kona or Kona blends as well as the Jamaica Blue and Jamaica Blends are two of the finest that can be purchased. But at $60 to $70 per pound for the non-blends of these two coffees, many of you may find it a little too expensive. I do; however, I will purchase one of each per year around the holidays as a Christmas present for myself; or I ask my wife to do the same as a present if I have been a good ‘boy’ throughout the year. The bottom line is to not buy just one coffee from a true vendor of coffee such as coffeeAM or other similar, buy several coffees from different parts of the world for a variety. Drinking the same coffee every day would be the same as eating the same entrée every night for supper. At the time of writing this review, I have eight different types of coffee I am enjoying and rotate with every cup I drink throughout the day. I drink about 5-6 10-oz. cups every day.With the Moccamaster coffeemaker, fresh coffee from CoffeeAM.com and containers like these to keep the coffee stored with as little oxygen possible to penetrate the container due to the silicone seal, you will find a huge difference in what you believed you had in coffee drinking experience but with these Progressive International ProKeeper Containers you will find now that you DO HAVE A GREAT COFFEE EXPERIENCE. Use them to store the coffee beans; however, if you don’t own a ‘Conical Burr’ coffee bean grinder, don’t ruin great coffee beans with a blade coffee grinder. Buy the coffee from your vendor already ground and sealed for freshness and store the ground coffee in one of these containers.VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Haven't tried it out with coffee yet but I can tell it's a good container. Seals tight. Compact for smaller bags of coffee. Simple. Love the spoon on the inside, very useful. Lightweight. And most importantly, the silicone gasket is not glued in and can be taken out for proper cleaning.Update! Works great for coffee, can't smell a thing when it's closed so I know it's sealed well. I'd buy it again!

AWESOME tea storage. Found one in estate sale and came here to order another. Very pleased with quality. Seals well to keep contents fresh.

This coffee storage container and scoop are a must-have. I deeply regret not getting it sooner! It's perfectly addressed my frustration with bagged coffee going stale after the seals broke. Now, my coffee stays consistently fresh, and the scoop ensures I get the perfect measurement every time. The seal stays tight and it opens and closes easily.

The container is well made and seals securely. The scoop sits nicely in the lid. The only issue I have is that it is often hard to close--takes a few tries to clip it shut. For the price, it's a good value set.

I used to keep my coffee on the counter in an old plastic Folgers 'can.' This is so much sleeker and better looking on the counter. And while it takes two hands to open it, the seal is great to keep the coffee fresher. I don't use the scoop in the lid, I have it resting on the coffee. But that's just because I like having it handy to grab with one hand. I'm loving all my Progressive International storage containers and am slowly switching my pantry over one container at a time.

Great quality container and cleans up the look inside my cabinets. The lid is definitely air tight and will be great for keeping my brown sugar soft and fresh.
