Fresh Coffee Is All That Matters! To consistently create an amazing cup of coffee you need your beans at peak freshness. The way to hold on to the bean's magic properties is by storing them in a vacuum sealed coffee vault. The Zulay Coffee Canister goes beyond that by keeping your precious beans protected from the four enemies of the coffee bean - oxygen, light, heat and moisture. Holds 1.4 lbs of whole beans, 1.2 lbs of ground coffee or 1.9L of liquid.
