It's a canister with a one way valve. Personally i use mason jars, but thought maybe someone might be interested.

"Your coffee loses flavor with exposure to light, air, moisture, and carbon dioxide released after the roasting process... The Friis Freshness Valve vents away flavor destroying CO2 gas"

For a while, I made jars with 1-way valves, but found no improvement.
The cupboard door keeps out enough light.

The valves are designed to keep mylar coffee bags from bursting. I doubt they add anything in terms of freshness to mason jars.
