Fantastic Coffee Canister Set.
I actually quit drinking coffee a number of years back due to my passing a lot of kidney stones. My doctor gave me a list of food I should avoid and coffee just happened to be one of them. It was not an easy thing to quit as I am one of those people that just LOVE a fresh cup of high quality, fresh ground coffee in the morning. Its now been over 7 years since I have passed a kidney stone and I did cut out like 95% of the food that were on that list my doctor gave me. So I decided to start drinking it again, but only in moderation. Basically just 1 cup in the morning. I wound up buying a really nice coffee maker but since I like to grind my own beans, I needed to buy a storage container. I was initially just going to use some of my stainless steel POP containers, but I decided to do a bit of browsing on Amazon before committing to that route 100% and that is when I stumbled across Coffee Gator's Coffee Canister.The Charcoal Grey color matched perfectly with my Kitchen since my Kitchen is basically designed around marble counter tops and stainless steel appliances. And I loved that it came with its own scoop and two containers, one for the unground beans and a smaller one where you could store a small amount of ground coffee. The larger container has a fantastic seal on it. Its nice and tight, but not so tight that its difficult to open. In fact its incredibly easy to open. That seal will ensure your coffee stays fresh. The smaller container has a screw off top, but its extremely easy to thread it properly and it also has a great seal. And they really do have a really fantastic visual design. They look fantastic on your counter top.Bottom line - I am sure there are probably hundreds of different containers out there that one could use for storing beans or ground coffee and I am sure most would work pretty well. Its not like creating these types of storage containers is actually difficult. That being said, I wound up going with Coffee Gator's storage container for a number of reasons. First, I thought the overall design looked really nice and it matched the design of our kitchen perfectly. 2nd, I love that it came with a smaller 2nd container for left over ground coffee or you could use it to grind a few days worth of coffee so you don't have to grind coffee every single morning.The container is small enough that the coffee in it isn't going to start degrading in quality by the time your done using it all. 3rd, it came with its own scoop, which we keep stored right in the main coffee bin. And after getting it and seeing it first hand, they really are quality containers through and through. If your looking for a storage container for your coffee, wether it be beans of ground coffee, you really can't go wrong with this model. In fact, I plan on buying 2 more this upcoming Christmas and giving one to each of my sisters as they are both coffee connoisseurs and their coffee containers just aren't as nice as these are. All in all, just a fantastic set that will make most coffee drinkers very happy!5 Stars!!
