Tips For Buying Coffee Storage Containers
Oxygen is the number enemy of freshness. As such, the best coffee storage containers are designed to minimize exposure to oxygen.
- Material: Coffee storage containers are typically made of glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or plastic. Glass and ceramic containers are ideal for preserving the coffee’s flavor, while stainless steel is a durable and airtight option. Plastic containers can be affordable and convenient, but may not be as effective at preserving the coffee’s freshness.
- Airtightness: The container should have an airtight seal to prevent oxygen from entering and degrading the coffee’s quality. Look for containers with a tight-fitting lid or a one-way valve that allows carbon dioxide to escape while preventing oxygen from entering.
- Size: Choose a container that is the right size for your needs.
- UV Protection: Exposure to light can cause coffee to degrade more quickly. Look for containers that are designed to protect the coffee from UV light, especially if the container will be kept in a bright or sunny location.
- Easy to Clean: Choose a container that is easy to clean and maintain. Glass and stainless steel containers are typically dishwasher safe, while plastic and ceramic containers may require more delicate hand washing.
- Style and Design: Coffee storage containers are available in a wide range of styles and designs, so choose one that matches your personal style and decor. Keep in mind that darker containers may be better for preserving the coffee’s freshness, as they block out more light than lighter-colored containers.
- Buy only whole beans: whole bean coffee has a longer shelf-life than ground coffee. This is because when coffee is in ground form, more surface area can be potentially exposed to oxygen.
- Keep coffee out of freezers: While it’s true that freezing consumables typically increases its shelf-life, it can come at a cost. Coffee is porous and as such, can absorb the surrounding aromas. The last you’ll want is coffee that smells like meat or fish. However, there is an upside to coffee beans being porous. Barrel aged coffee is created by leveraging this characteristic of coffee beans to infuse them with a desired aroma and flavor.

Coffee storage canisters aren’t particularly expensive and are well worth the minimal investment. These canisters come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find one that fits your specific needs and specific budget.
Be sure you choose a size that is appropriate to the amount of coffee you plan to store.
One benefit of buying multiple coffee storage containers is that you can store multiple types of beans at the same time. The second you open a bag of coffee, the timeline to expiration starts ticking quickly. Because of this, many coffee lovers hesitate to open multiple bags at the same time. However, with multiple coffee canisters, you can immediately transfer the coffee beans or grounds into their own container and extend their shelf-life.
Bonus: If you’re looking to store more than just your coffee, consider checking out these plastic trays to keep your coffee equipment and supplies organized.
