Coffee Bean Canister – 500ml, Stainless Steel & Date Dial

At a Glance

A compact 500 mL (16.9 fl oz) coffee bean canister for the beans you are brewing this week. Keep it beside your grinder while the rest of the bag stays sealed away. It has a 304 stainless steel interior, a lid held shut by two metal latches against a silicone gasket, a one-way vent insert and a manual month-and-day dial. It holds roughly 150 g (5.3 oz) of whole beans, which is about 8-10 cups at 15-18 g per cup.

Key Features

• Sized for daily use: 500 mL holds a few days' to a week's supply for one coffee drinker, so you open your main supply less often.
• Sealed latch lid: Two metal swing latches press the lid against its silicone gasket.
• One-way vent: The vent insert is designed to let CO₂ from freshly roasted beans escape. The box includes two vent inserts.
• Manual date dial: Set the month and day you filled it. No batteries and no app.
• Scoop included: A metal measuring scoop comes in the box.
• Two finishes: Matte black or pearl white, both 500 mL.

500 mL or a Larger Canister?

Choose this 500 mL canister if you buy small bags, brew one or two cups a day, or want a small container on the coffee bar. For a full bag or bulk buying, choose our airtight coffee canister in 1.5, 1.8 or 2.8 L. Many home baristas use both: the large canister stays closed in the pantry, and this one holds the beans for the next few days.

How to Use

1. Make sure the canister, gasket and vent insert are clean and completely dry.
2. Add whole beans or ground coffee. Leave some space at the top so nothing gets pressed against the lid.
3. Set the month and day markers to the date you filled it, or to the roast date.
4. Close the lid and secure both metal latches. Store the canister somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight, heat and the stove.

Care

Hand wash the canister, lid and scoop with mild soap, then dry every part fully before refilling. Wipe coffee dust off the gasket and rim so the lid can close properly.

FAQ

How much coffee does 500 mL hold?

About 150 g (5.3 oz) of whole beans. The exact amount depends on roast level and bean size, since darker, larger beans take up more space.

Will a full 250 g or 12 oz bag fit?

No. A full 250 g (8.8 oz) or 340 g (12 oz) bag is more than 500 mL can hold. Fill this canister with the next few days' coffee and keep the rest sealed in its bag or in a larger canister.

What does the one-way vent do?

Freshly roasted coffee releases CO₂. The vent insert is designed to let that gas out. It does not remove the air already inside, so this is not a vacuum canister.

Does the date dial need batteries?

No. You move the month and day markers by hand. The dial is a reminder of when you filled the canister and does not measure freshness.

How long do beans stay fresh in it?

A sealed, opaque canister slows staling but does not stop it. Whole beans usually taste best within about 2-4 weeks of roasting, and ground coffee within about 1-2 weeks. A small canister you empty every few days helps you keep to that.

Can I store ground coffee or tea?

Yes. It works for whole beans, ground coffee, loose-leaf tea and other dry goods. Do not use it for liquids.

Should I keep it in the fridge or freezer?

No. A cool, dry cupboard or counter spot away from sunlight works best. The fridge adds moisture and odors.

Can I return it?

Yes. You can request a return within 45 days of delivery. See our return policy for details.
