simplehumanBrushed Stainless Steel 1.5 Liter / 0.4 Gallon Mini Countertop Trash Can

I've purchased plenty of things from Amazon, and it's only exceptional items that warrant my time to post a review. This is one of those (albeit unlikely) items, and here's why:* It's cute. The stainless steel finish matches my appliances beautifully.* It the ideal size for my coffee station, holding about 8 discarded K-Cups.* K-Cups drop into the container perfectly* It's very nicely made, with a flawless stainless finish, high quality plastic, and smoothly operating lid* Very easy to empty and clean. Just reach into the can, pull out the lid, dump, rinse (if necessary) and dry.There's just something simply satisfying about using this trash can. Maybe I'm easily amused, but it's something that brings me a little smile every day.

We recently purchased this little trash can as a solution to our coffee grounds problem. We use an espresso machine which creates discs of compacted grounds once it's done brewing. My better half likes to then spread these grounds in the yard to help the lawn but likes them to collect for a while. So, we needed a discreet place to store them between trips outside. This trash can is perfect. It matches our kitchen appliances and sits on one of our counters right next to the espresso machine. All we do is knock the grounds out of the filter onto the trash lid and they slide right in. No mess and all is hidden. It could store quite a lot too. I'd say it would hold about two weeks of grounds (more if you crumble the "discs") but we don't wait that long. It's easy to clean also. Just rinse under water as needed. Lid can easily be wiped with a dry cloth. Since it is fingerprint resistant, I've yet to need to polish it. The only minor disappointment was if we were to use a trash bag or liner, it would stick out. The inner layer does not pull out, nor have a way to wrap a bag around it like the larger Simple Human trash can we have. This trash can serves its purpose well and I'd recommend it to anyone needing a countertop trash can.

We recently downsized (1/3 of the square footage we previously had) and space in the master bathroom is at a premium. I like to keep my trash cans out of sight for a cleaner look and used to keep my bathroom bin in the cabinet under the sink. With the smaller space, I needed to do something to adapt so tried keeping the trash can on the floor but that really bothered me so I started looking for something I could put in the cabinet without taking up much room. This seemed to be the perfect solution - and it is!This is very small, but we usually only deposit kleenex, q-tips, cotton balls in it so it is working great for us. I need to empty it about every three days, but I like doing that anyway. I particularly like having the lid since it shares space with other bathroom items and keeping the trash out of sight and separate makes for a more pleasant morning and evening routine. The lid is perfectly balanced so once an item is deposited, it swings closed quickly and easily (and is level). The brushed stainless steel is very resistant to finger prints and if there are any, they disappear easily with a quick wipe. The top fits snuggly on the can so odors don't escape and the entire thing is very high quality.While this is labelled as a countertop trash can, it works well for me in the bathroom. Make sure you look at the dimensions so you aren't surprised by the size, but if it meets your requirements, it's a great purchase.

I love this product. I wish that I had found it much sooner. It is the perfect compliment to the Keurig coffee maker. I drink 4-6 cups of coffee a day and my husband drinks 1-2 cups a day plus he uses the small packets of sweet-n-low. The countertop where we keep the Keurig stayed covered in K-cups and sweet-n-low packets. Once we would take a K-cup out to put another one in and add our creamer, our coffee was ready and we would just walk off. I can't stand a dirty counter in the kitchen. Everything has to be in it's place and everything has to be clean or I can't cook. I was tired of the mess on that counter especially right before dinner as it makes me not want to cook. I found this and I will never regret this purchase. It sits next to the Keurig. When we pop one K-cup out or open a sweetener, it automatically gets dropped in the trash can. I took some of my mini trash bags for the bathroom wastebaskets and cut then in half. 1-2 times a week, I change out the trash bag. It is so easy, the lid pops right off and right back on. It holds securely and the swinging lid keeps all garbage out of sight but makes throwing it in easy. The little trash can holds much more than it looks like it would. This is 10 star product for this OCD gal.

It's very cute, petite. Took the tip of another reviewer and used eco-friendly dog waste bags that fit perfectly. The can doesn't hold much but you can empty when full into larger bag that you are tossing and reuse inner bag if not too dirty. It wipes clean doesn't get too dirty. The lid is a little tricky if fills up too much but all in all it's a really nice little trash can. Excellent for discarding cotton balls, Q-tips, tissues etc. in the bathroom too.
