Customer Reviews

I truly thought this was another gadget and would be just ok. Was I wrong!!! It is fabulous. I have been using the vault for 2 weeks and went through an entire bag of coffee before reviewing. The last cup is as fresh and delicious as the first; something that normally never happens after more than a very few days. I like it so much that I will be ordering another one for flavored coffee. The only suggestion I would have is that they make either different color lids or some little space on top in order to briefly list the coffee that is inside. However, a small piece of masking tape on top will solve the problem when I get the second one. Wonderful product that lives up to the hype. .~ Anonymous - AZ

I have been using the canister for two weeks now and I can tell you that each day I open the Friis Coffee Savor the coffee smells as if just opened my can of Tim Hortons. There is definitely a taste difference too. It still tastes fresh, like the can was just opened. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for Coffee Storage. ~ Rose DesRochers, Canada

great features for coffee storage, i was just looking for a canister to hold my open coffee, but this keeps the coffee fresh as if you opened the sealed package for the first time when you open it each time . ~ Arnela

Product Description

Review
The German company WMF works with top European designers to create kitchen products that innovatively marry style with function. German duo Guido Metz and Michael Kindler designed this irresistible coffee canister for the company’s Kult collection. With just the thinnest of lids, the beautifully proportioned cylinder is made of high quality 18/10 stainless steel in a luxurious satin finish. Peeking out between lid and body is the edge of a plastic seal that rings the inside of the lid to keep contents fresh. On the side of the canister, a slot holds the included long-handled stainless-steel coffee measuring spoon. The tiny WMF logo is relatively unobtrusive.

While fingerprints and smudges can show up now and then on stainless steel, a good wipe with a soft cloth should clean them off. Measuring 6 by 4-1/4 inches and holding more than a pound of ground coffee or six cups of sugar, the canister makes a ‘wow’ gift for the modern home. --Ann Bieri

This WMF Kult coffee canister features high quality 18/10 stainless steel construction and includes a handled coffee measure that slides into the built-in hook at the top of the canister. Its airtight seal insures freshness of the contents, and the contemporary, sleek design enhances its visual appeal.

Customer Reviews

I love this coffee can. I just wish it could hold a whole pound of coffee (or that it said somewhere in the description how much coffee it could hold). Otherwise it is a great product. Cute, blocks out harmful light, airtight, easy to open and shut, and comes with a nifty tablespoon that it holds on its side. Nice. Why couldn't I find anything close to this when I went out shopping? Bless the internet.~ A. Keller - San Jose, CA

Great way to store coffee that protects coffee from its two greatest enemies: light and air. Finding the perfect solution has been a challenge; I'm so glad I stumbled on this canister. ~ R. Longwell, Abilene, TX

Coffee Canisters To Store Your Coffee

Ahhhh...did you smell that? The fresh smell of coffee beans from your coffee canisters waiting to be brewed to perfection! There's a reason why people always say "Wake up and smell the coffee"...but did you know how important is to have a proper place to store your coffee? Here are some of the tips to store your coffee:




Coffee Storage Tips:

Coffee will begin to lose flavor 6 hours after roasted if not stored in a proper place like in a coffee canisters. The longer it is expososed to the open air, the less taste or quality of the coffee.

* Do not store coffee in a glass container. This will lead it to oxidation.
* Do not store ground coffee in the refrigerator. Cold air will cause the coffee to taste bad from day to day.
* Coffee should not be placed in the oven. Heat is the enemy of your ground coffee.
* Coffee is also absorb odors. So do not keep in the refrigerator. One of the kitchen tips is to use ground coffee because it is the best agent to absorb unpleasant odors inside your refrigerator.
* Store coffee in an airtight container/coffee canisters and in the dark

Tips to make a good coffee:

Water is the most important ingredient. Be sure to brew coffee using distilled water or mineral water. This is because the water to brew and taste of the coffee issue. Make sure to boil the water to a temperature not less than 100 degrees Celsius.

About Caffeine Content

Once you know the dosage and the response of your body to caffein products, it is important also that we identify the caffeine content in most of the products that we consume frequently. Do not take coffee if the recommended amount has been reached, but sometimes without realizing we still consume other products that contain caffeine that makes us subjected to the ill effect of overconsuming coffee. Some other caffein based products that needs our attention are: softdrink, coffee candy, tea, chocolate and headache medicine.
Coffee preparation (Roasting and Brewing) also affect caffeine content in coffee. For example, one study shows, a cup of Starbucks coffee contains on average 259 mg of caffeine compared to coffee cups with different types and sizes of the same in the Dunkin Donuts which only contains 149 mg of caffeine.
From other studies, decaf coffee (the coffee without caffeine) is recommended for those who suffer from obesity due to increased HDL ("good" cholesterol) by about 50%. While those who are not obese may actually decrease HDL cholesterol, which can increase the risk of heart disease.

So enjoy coffee. Drink in moderation. Smell it, Sip it, Love it! and don't forget to store it in a proper coffee canisters to preserve the taste.

Customer Review

I got a Bean Vac for Christmas this year. I thought the gadget was a great idea. But I noticed that it went through batteries quickly because it activated every few hours when air would get in.

I called Exceptional Design and they told me there was a new electronically-timed version that had a better seal, and wouldn't drain batteries. I got my new version and I can set it for how often I want it to reactivate (12, 24 or 48 hours). The seal holds great and now I've been on the same set of batteries for months...and my coffee tastes great!

Make sure to buy the new version with the electric timer. It works great.
By Jewel, CA

I got this bean vac from my wife for Christmas. It was a thoughtful gift. I love coffee and freshness of beans is important. This bean vac protects the beans from light as well as vacuum seals them after each opening. I noticed the difference in freshness that my coffee had using this vac. The beans kept better longer. HOWEVER

Freshly roasted coffee beans naturally release a large amount of carbon dioxide. It is for this reason that many bags have the air-release valves to let out the released carbon dioxide. This bean vac eliminates the released carbon dioxide by monitoring the pressure inside the canister. When the vacuum dissipates (from expelled carbon dioxide or poor seal) the canister automatically activates the vacuum motor and enhances the seal by eliminating the gas from within.

This takes battery power. Each time you open and then re-close the canister: Battery Power. If you don't use the canister, the canister must reseal itself: Battery Power. The result was that my canister would go through batteries EVERY-OTHER-DAY or EVERY THIRD DAY. That renders this canister pointless. For want of batteries I ended up using this canister without the vacuum function for a while and then returned it to Sharper Image 3 months after my wife purchased it.

What a great idea! What a poor implementation! There is no need for battery power. The coffee maker is next to an outlet. The coffee grinder is next to an outlet. Why couldn't they just attach a power cord to this so I could plug it in? It is certainly used where AC power is available. I just don't understand the reasoning for it.

In summary, the idea is great (as soon as they make this with a power adapter I will buy it), but the implementation (due to battery power) is so poor that it renders the product unusable. I wonder if that is why my local Sharper Image doesn't carry this bean vac anymore. Hopefully, they go back to the drawing board and next year I'll get a Christmas present that I can keep.
