As I’ve mentioned in a previous post or two, I’m not much of a coffee drinker. Be that as it may, I still feel the need to tell you about the Bean Vac Coffee Canister. I think it’s a pretty neat idea and would make a great gift, for the coffee lover in your life.

The canister holds 1 pound of your favorite coffee. It prevents moisture and oxidation, two things that are instrumental in ruining a good cup of java. It’s very easy to use, as it seals by flipping the handle.

It features a vacuum indicator button so you can keep track of your coffees level of freshness. (Something you’ve always wanted to do, right?) Due to the recessed battery cover, the canister can set on a wet countertop with no problem.

It has an auto-activation switch which means that you control how often the unit will automatically re-seal. Options are each time the canister closes, every 12 hours, every 24 hours or every 48 hours. This saves battery power.

(Even if you choose every 48 hours, you will have MUCH fresher coffee than you would, using traditional storage methods.)

Have you used a similar product with success? If so, feel free to share your results with coffee lovers everywhere.
