I've liked this product for keeping coffee fresh: http://visionsespresso.com/cart.php?m=p ... tail&p=721 Pushing down the plunger expels air. Simple and effective.

I've been meaning to pick up the Vacuvin canisters for some time now. I've been using the stoppers on wine bottles for ages and I swear by them. If you *fully* pump a half empty bottle of red wine it will keep for weeks. I emphasize fully because even after the pump starts to click telling you it's done you can still get a few more slow pumps of air out.

This approach doesn't require a pump. Inserting the disk and pushing it down to the coffee level expels the air. The cannister is then sealed with a top that has a gasket. I like it because its simple and works effectively.

Looks like a very good approach. 48oz is a little big for me, though... would prefer a smaller size. What are the exterior dimensions? And do they work as effectively when they contain relatively few beans - e.g. when they're mostly empty and need to remove almost their full volume of air? Finally, two are shown in the photo - are they sold as a set of two or just individually?

Thanks,

Sold individually. Mine is half full or less a good part of the time and seems to take good care of the beans. keep a couple of different colors around so that I can remember which coffee went in where.
