Coffee Storage 

Vacuum coffee storage is the ultimate storage solution for both freshly roasted coffee beans, and ground coffee. Once the air is removed from the vacuum valve jars, there is no more oxygen left to degrade the the coffees natural oils and aromas. These vacuum jars come complete with interchangable vacuum pump, or as seperate refills - which are sold without a pump. These VacuVin Coffee Saver vacuum valve containers are very well built units, and preserve coffee much longer than non-vacuum storage methods. Made from thick polycarbonate, which is shatter resistent. The polycarbonate is smoke colored to block UV rays that are harmful to coffees. The design is simple: a polycarbonate container to hold the beans, a lid to seal it, and a pump to pump the air out of the jar. The lid seals tightly up against the top of the jar with a rugged siliconized gasket. The underside of the lid has a plastic filter covering that should be left in place to prevent food or coffee being sucked up into the pump. The mechanism that maintains the vacuum is a one-way valve, the valve opens when air is sucked through, but seals tight when after pumping. The vacuum is so tight, its not possible to remove the lid without relieving the pressure. To relieve pressure from the jar, simply push the valve to the side, and the lid comes off. All parts are removable for easy cleaning, all parts are dishwasher safe. Additional storage units are sold seperately, starter units can be purchased complete with pump and jar.

Consider these units before you got out and spend your money on a cheesy battery operated coffee vacuum jar.... These jars only take a few strokes of the pump to obtain vacuum, you will help to save the environment, get a little exercise in the meantime, and save yourself countless trips to the store for batteries!

The Problem: Even after coffee is roasted, the beans continue to release CO2 gasses, which if not properly vented can give the coffee a "gassey" aroma and flavor. Unvented coffee storage can actually build up pressure after filling with freshly roasted coffee, and the more coffee the container holds, the more pressure is generated. Sealed coffee storage bags & jars which are unvented, can blow open due to the pressures caused from the release of the gas. The more oxygen the coffee is exposed to, the faster it loses its aroma and freshness.

VacuVin Coffee Vacuum Instructions:Clean the lid and rim of the container,the grey seal ring and the stopper before use for optimal vacuum. Squeeze stopperat "press" marks to open. Put the desired food / coffee into the container,do not overfill. Place the lid noticing that the greyseal ring is clearly visible. Place pump on the stopper and commence pumping action,when resistance is felt with the upward stroke, your container is vacuum-sealed.Place the lid noticing that the greyseal ring is clearly visible.
