Evak Fresh Saver Plastic Food Storage, Small/Tall, Black

ive got myself a fat of house cat that loves her treats and this is my favorite way to store them. it can hold a couple bags at a time so i can mix up her treats. i can fur sure tell it keeps the snacks fresh compared to just using the bags they are sold in. love that its made of plastic and not glass. almost all of the other canisters for sale are glass, which my cat would love to watch smash into a million shards and spread across the hardwood floors. the other option was metal. tho durable, they are not very see thru and my cat def doesn't like when i run out of treats and will sing me the song of her people at 4am if i go to bed without providing her with a couple little bedtime snacks. the one this is replacing was knocked off its shelf (3ft off the ground) more times than i can count over the years and would just bounce off the floor. this is the second one Ive picked up but will buy again if i need to.

I use this for one thing: storing guacamole. I put the leftover guac in this, push the lid down, which seals the guac off from air. The next day, the guac is still great. No brown at all. Use some, put the lid back down, the guac stays perfect. I keep guac in it for several days, with no browning. UPDATE: I just learned how to clean out the top. I thought the little arrows on it were telling you to rotate it while pressing down on the food, but they were to show you how to take the top apart for cleaning. Duh! After using, you take apart the top and clean it by hand. If you don't, old food gunk stays in there. LATER UPDATE: I'm on my third one of these. I dropped and broke one of them. What happened to the other one was that at some point I lost one of the two small blue valves inside the top. Apparently, they can come off and disappear during washing if you are not careful. When I lost the first one, I just covered the hole with a little piece of duct tape and that actually worked fine. But then I lost the second valve and the container stopped blocking air very well. So, I suggest keeping an eye on those two little valves--as well as the loose round rubber seal which is also in there--when you are washing out the top.

This product actually works very well - better than plastic wrap, lime juice, etc. It's also reasonably easy to disassemble and clean. However, based on the type of plastic and wall thickness, I don't expect this to last long without developing a fatal crack that ruins the sealing capability. The other issue is the geometry of the container. Ideally, you'd like to whip this out of the fridge or cooler and serve it immediately. However, it's rather tall and narrow which makes it awkward to reach in for a dip once it is less than 2/3 full. That means you'll need to carry along and additional bowl for serving if you take this to a picnic/BBQ party.

I bought this specifically for guac. It works great. Be careful and gently ease the lid down until it fully displaces all the air; stop as soon as you see the tiniest bit of guac squish past the gasket and go up the sides (that tiny bit will get brown but so what, it's an extremely small amount). The gasket is very soft, so if you press too hard you will get an explosion of guac up the sides and maybe even out of the container. So don't do that. You'll need to take the lid apart for cleaning: all the separate pieces, including the gasket and valve covers (little blue disks). It's much easier to clean with a brush than a sponge, so at first I thought it was a pain but now it's a snap. The lid is not dishwasher safe (plus you're gonna lose those valve covers) so take the 60 seconds to wash by hand. I don't know how durable this will be; I don't expect the gasket to last very long given how soft it is, but at this price it's worth it. I also bought a larger size for coffee. Since it's clear, for coffee you need to store it away from light (so not on the counter) but no big deal.

Visually, the container looks as pretty as I hoped. Love that you are able to see exactly how my roasted coffee beans look like and able to see how much is left fotino the outside. It also seems to do the job of pushing out excess air out as you close in the lid so the beans stat fresh. I only dock points for the fact that it feels fairly cheap in the hand as you hold it. Feels very plastic and fragile like it could crack easily if you're not careful. But it hasn't cracked so far and functionally it seems to do the job that I got it for well. My biggest criticism was the experience buying from the seller. I wanted to buy 3 at a time for 3 different roasts I like to do at a time. My God this seller couldn't get it straight. Each time I ordered 3, only 1 would arrive. This happened 3 times. The seller would apologize, refund the other 2 undelivered then make the exact same mistake again. Si I would recommend if you want this product, order 1 at a time individually. Also, the mini size is super tiny capacity so always go a size higher than you think you want because you lose some space with the insert sealer lid design. Works well though.

The plan is to use this with whole coffee beans. I knew from the start that it's clear plastic so you need to keep the container out of the light. Either stick it in the cupboard or cover the container with something opaque like paint or foil tape(duct tape is usually translucent). One thing i noticed is that the lid can be taken apart for cleaning. Simply grab the top and bottom in different hands and twist counter clockwise to unlock. From here I noticed that theres actually two one way valves in both directions that create the vacuum effect. I'm not sure if it makes a huge differences but i went ahead and made it so both of the large ends were on inside. Very easy to do. This makes it harder to open but makes me more confident in it being air tight. I'm happy with my purchase at less than $15. If you're not cheap like me, you might as well spend extra on the Airscape which looks better all around for coffee storage, but costs more than double.

Recipiente para armazenamento (retira boa parte do ar no produto a ser armazenado)! Entendo ser indicado para produtos como café(em grão), oleaginosas, confeitos, balas, etc. Não é indicado para produtos digamos em já triturados (café já moído, farinhas, etc). Construção parece bem robusta (plástico de qualidade, tampa com boa borracha de vedação). Sistema prático para eliminar o ar do item a ser armazenado (não é um sistema totalmente à vácuo pois certamente fica um pouco de ar entre os grãos, etc). Quanto a durabilidade, ainda não tenho como afirmar, pois muito pouco tempo de uso.

Ordered 2 jars!! Both arrived broken

The 1 litre jar I ordered came on time and does its job of keeping my coffee beans away from air. It works thanks to an ingenious lid that pushes air out with a one-way valve I think. Gave it 4 stars because I feel it’s priced a little too high.

Best thing ever. I can finally eat guacamole all week without it turning brown. Took me a while to figure out how to open the lid to clean it (it wasnt hard), when you push the air out, the guac goes into the holes, which is why you need to open it and properly clean. Would recommend to everyone

Not big enough to hold a 1kg bag of beans, not a strong seal, doubtful if airtight and an attractive but arguably less effective solution than leaving coffee beans in the bag they come in.
