Evak Fresh Saver Plastic Food Storage, Medium/Tall, Black

We store our ground coffee in this container. Works great.

Nice container and stacks easily. would like the seal a bit tighter, but overall a good choice. Looks classy

I like this container. The lid is weird in that it fits inside the canister and pushes the air out as you close it over the coffee beans or whatever dry goods you are storing, but it keeps the beans very fresh and it’s very easy to use!

Can't say enough about the technology in these Evak containers. The lid slides up and down smoothly so it is easy to use and I don't have to fumble with the lids ever. My foods stay fresh and intact. Bought these because I had a breakout of grain bugs in my cabinet foods. Now I protect all my food and have not had a problem. Canisters are a little pricey but worth it for me.

This works really well, especially for roasted coffee beans. One major drawback though. I don't believe it is made of tempered glass. If it is, the tempering is of poor quality or grade. Sitting on a flat Formica counter, my canister was accidentally tipped over. The thing shattered starting at the glass bead edge (the rim) and broke into several large pieces. Esthetically it looks great on a kitchen counter with the clean lines of the cylinder profile. If I had known the glass was untempered or poorly tempered I may not have bought it. If I decide to buy another of this same one I'll find a rubber band or some other type of material in a ring shape that will fit snuggly around the rim of the cylinder at the top.Its narrow enough and tall enough that it doesn't take much to tip it over. A ring of some kind of shock absorbing material should extend the life of this thing. The capacity is adequate for 1 pound of coffee beans and the two-way valve plug-handle works very well. Buy this cylinder but find a ring made of some kind of rubbery, spongey, shock absorbing material that will prevent the rim from contacting the counter surface. OR, buy the acrylic cylinder unless you must have glass.

Products arrived well packed. Lids worked as stated. Though Seller represents that this item is BPA free, unfortunately it has an "off-gassing" plastic smell that is quite strong when one first opens the new containers. I bought 4 pieces and let the new jars sit open for a couple of days with the lids removed. I then put the lids back on for a day to retest smell, and that same strong plastic smell was still there. The lids do not seem to smell as much as the clear plastic containers themselves. These containers are NOT a good choice for quality, aromatic teas or any other items that can absorb the synthetic plastic smell. Manufacturer should change the plastic formula to be scent free, more stable and make sure any off-gassing occurs before the products are packed and shipped out. My Vitamix mixer "jar" is also plastic, BPA free, but it has never "smelled" in any way that I have thus far noticed.

These are very nice storage containers for dry goods in your pantry. We use them for popcorn kernels, dry noodles and chips of all sorts. They appear to be pretty rugged and well constructed. I was a bit apprehensive about washing the plunger since it is full of holes and I was worried about the water getting inside and causing problems but a wash and overnight dry and all seems to be well. The only advice I can give is to be sure that you have the plunger straight when storing your food. If the plunger is crooked it will allow air in that can destroy chips and foods that will soak up moisture. They stack well and are easy to use. You can buy these with confidence.

I purchased several of these as they are stackable and I own several of the stainless steel and glass canisters and love them. Unfortunately this plastic product does not compare to the glass version. The plastic canister and plastic handle are NOT airtight and will not keep your food fresh. The canisters are somewhat flexible and the plastic seal at the bottom of the handle (vs stainless steel on the glass canisters) is also flexible. The combination of flexible plastic canisters and flexible seal allow for gaps and air to get in. Very disappointed.
