Atmos Vacuum Coffee Canister & Food Storage Container - 0.4 Liter Canister holds up to 6 oz of Coffee Beans - Airtight Food Storage Containers - Containers - 0.4 Liter - Matte White

love this canister. And as you’ll see further down, I’ve come to love the company, whose customer service is astounding. I first heard of the Atmos when I saw it praised on YouTube by a marvelously thorough British coffee expert, James Hoffman. Who did wonder about paying $30 for a storage canister, but found it kept coffee fresher than any other option. I say that if you care about coffee — and maybe spent at least this much on a scale, and much more for a grinder — there’s no reason you wouldn’t want the Atmos. Which, on top of how well it works, is elegant, and a pleasure to use. After you close it, you twist the cap back and forth, until a button on top goes down, showing green from the space around it. This expels air from the inside, so your coffee sits in something approaching a vacuum. Then, when you want some coffee, you press a button on top, and air whooshes in. Now you can unscrew the top. And smell fresh coffee. Of course it won’t keep coffee fresh forever — nothing will — but it does a great job, And gives you confidence that it does, because it’s both elegant and solidly built, and because you feel the air going out as you twist (the twists keep feeling firmer), and because you can hear the air whooshing out. So, customer service! So many points for Fellow. When I bought this, it didn’t work. The seal wouldn’t stay sealed, for more than a few hours. When I told them about this, they replied the next day — on a weekend (!) — explaining what the problem was, and suggesting a fix. And then on their own initiative, they emailed two days later to ask if the fix had worked! It hadn’t, so they immediately sent me a new top for the thing , even sending email updates, as few smaller companies do, tracking the shipment and telling me when the item would arrive. The new top works. Happy customer. One note to anyone buying this, and a suggestion to the company. Expelling air from the thing can take as many as 30 twists. Nothing that comes in the box tells us that, so at first I thought the seal didn’t work at all. Maybe Fellow doesn’t want to scare us off, but still, since this is a fact about the canister (as they confirmed to me), we might as well be told. If anyone thinks 30 twists is too much for fresh coffee, that’s your choice. But I’m not bothered. I could even say I’m helping out with my coffee’s freshness, and getting a little morning exercise. 😊 Highly recommended, especially for coffee obsessive. I also btw have Fellow’s Ode coffee grinder, a truly thoroughbred piece of gear.

I like these canisters because they keep freshly roasted coffee beans at peak freshness until I've used them up (usually 10 days from opening a bag). Some say the seals don't hold, but that's not ever been my experience (with three of them, over four years) -- what happens is the beans outgas CO2, which is a gas actually protective of coffee bean freshness. Freshly-roasted beans outgas quite rapidly, but this process slows down considerably (even for a year or more). The only reason for outside air to enter through the seal is if bean chaff or other small particles get stuck in the rim of the canister by the lid - hard to see, but running a fingernail covered with a facial tissue gets this crud out (usually, if you're pouring beans out of the canister vice spooning them out. Mine have worked wonderfully. The 700cc size canister will usually hold the coffee from a 12oz bag - in cases where it doesn't, using some of the coffee right away solves this problem (I never open a bag unless I'm going to use some right away anyway).

I ordered one of these in late November 23, and by early February 24, the indicator seal was decompressing on its own after a day or two - the container was defective and wouldn't hold a vacuum - its sole purpose. Initially, customer service said that they would have Fellow (the seller) contact me within 2 business days about a refund. I never heard from the seller, so I reached back out to Amazon. Although I was technically outside the Amazon 30-day return window, it's absurd that a $40 vacuum seal container would stop holding a seal after only about two months. I contacted customer service, and although they didn't have the option to issue a return directly, they suggested I purchase a second container and said I could reach out as soon as I received it for customer service to issue a "returnless refund," functionally replacing the initial defective one for no cost. I received the second canister, which seemed to work...for almost two weeks. Then, I noticed that the vacuum indicator button remains depressed - indicating the canister is under an airtight seal - even when the lid is fully off. So, this second canister is also defective. And, since I technically already had a refund issued for this second "purchase," I can't return the second canister for a third canister (or for an additional refund). So now I am stuck with two defective canisters, having paid for one and wanting neither. Fellow products look lovely (with a price that reflects that keen design), but this item doesn't work for the one thing it is supposed to do. Learn from my loss: don't put yourself in my situation where you're stuck with a piece of pretty junk you can't return that stops working almost immediately after the Amazon return window closes.

I got the 1.2 liter glass canister. The glass is thick enough for the vacuum. When I tried to open it the first time, the lid wouldn't come off even after twisting the lid and pressing the release valve several times. It turned out the rubber gasket around the lid was not installed properly. The gasket was off a little bit, but it was enough to cause extra friction between the glass jar and the lid. After proper reinstall, the lid comes off the glass jar smoothly without issue. The green vacuum indicator was not super bright. In the demo video, it looked like a bright green LED showing proper vacuum. My unit wasn't that visible. No battery or capacitor involved. It's all mechanical. One thing the Amazon item description did not mention when I bought this canister, is that storing finely ground coffee or flour is not recommended. I took the rubber seal apart and two layers of filters fell out from the bottom. One round paper mesh disc and one metal mesh disc. The designer probably installed those two fine mesh filter to prevent coffee ground or coffee dust from getting into the lid, possibly damaging the mechanism. I applaud the effort and thinking into the design. Since I will be using the canister for storing course ground coffee, I plan to install a third paper filter for insurance. It will be made out of a 10-12 cup coffee filter, cut to size to fit the lid. Box says Made in Taiwan. I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars more for made in USA product. I wish there is a brushed stainless steel version. Pro: Quality components. Easier to open than Airscape container. Amount of vacuum can be varied, turn it a few times or as many times as you want. Looks nice. Con: May want to check the rubber gasket for proper installation. The green vacuum indicator is not super visible. May not be suitable for freshly roasted coffee because this canister does not have one way CO2 release valve. One solution is to turn the lid a few times everyday until coffee beans stop off gassing.

This is by far the best option for me out there. The size is perfect for a 12 oz bag. The color and the look are awesome. Just fits well with my set up. So far I have been using it for 5 months and it has worked flawlessly. Keeps the coffee fresh for longer. I like the vacuum seal and no issues there. Most satisfying part is opening it. Takes a bit of time to close it but I can live with that. Overall recommend it.

EDIT — 9/1/24: These no longer hold any sort of seal/freshness. No matter how much I twist, it will "unseal" within the day. Obviously outside of the return date. I'l update again if Fellow reaches out with a solution. Original Review: Storing your coffee beans in their original bean bag keeps your coffee fresher than this ever could. Where this does shine is in the aesthetics. This is one of the most beautiful canisters to show off your beans to whoever will take a gander. Clean, simple design that works for minimalists and maximalists setups. While it’s twisting to seal mechanism is simple, does not require 2 pieces (Airscape), twisting a bunch everyday does grow tiresome. I want to streamline my daily coffee making and having to ‘do the twist’ does slightly keep me from pouring my coffee into my mouth as soon as I’d like. They say not to store ground coffee in it, but I’ve stored both whole beans and ground with success, so do what you like, the world is yours to grind. While it keeps your coffee fresh, it’s nowhere near as fresh as if you were to store it in its original coffee bean bag. Partly due to the air tightness and the glass exposing the beans to light. If I went back in time I may have just kept my beans in their bag rather than get too fancy. If you don’t get the glass one, it may keep the coffee, slightly fresher, but I like showing off my beans like a proud father, so sue me. I use a glass paint marker to write the beans that are in the can and on the other side what the grind setting is for that specific bean for my Baratza Encore for quick reference if I forget what I dialed it into.

Looks great and works well for about 6 months, then the seal starts to fail. Not worth the price.
