Fellow Atmos Vacuum Coffee Canister & Food Storage Container - 0.4 Liter Canister holds up to 6 oz of Coffee Beans - Airtight Food Storage Containers - Containers - 0.4 Liter - Matte White

love this canister. And as you’ll see further down, I’ve come to love the company, whose customer service is astounding.I first heard of the Atmos when I saw it praised on YouTube by a marvelously thorough British coffee expert, James Hoffman. Who did wonder about paying $30 for a storage canister, but found it kept coffee fresher than any other option.I say that if you care about coffee — and maybe spent at least this much on a scale, and much more for a grinder — there’s no reason you wouldn’t want the Atmos. Which, on top of how well it works, is elegant, and a pleasure to use. After you close it, you twist the cap back and forth, until a button on top goes down, showing green from the space around it. This expels air from the inside, so your coffee sits in something approaching a vacuum.Then, when you want some coffee, you press a button on top, and air whooshes in. Now you can unscrew the top. And smell fresh coffee.Of course it won’t keep coffee fresh forever — nothing will — but it does a great job, And gives you confidence that it does, because it’s both elegant and solidly built, and because you feel the air going out as you twist (the twists keep feeling firmer), and because you can hear the air whooshing out.So, customer service! So many points for Fellow. When I bought this, it didn’t work. The seal wouldn’t stay sealed, for more than a few hours. When I told them about this, they replied the next day — on a weekend (!) — explaining what the problem was, and suggesting a fix.And then on their own initiative, they emailed two days later to ask if the fix had worked! It hadn’t, so they immediately sent me a new top for the thing , even sending email updates, as few smaller companies do, tracking the shipment and telling me when the item would arrive.The new top works. Happy customer.One note to anyone buying this, and a suggestion to the company. Expelling air from the thing can take as many as 30 twists. Nothing that comes in the box tells us that, so at first I thought the seal didn’t work at all. Maybe Fellow doesn’t want to scare us off, but still, since this is a fact about the canister (as they confirmed to me), we might as well be told. If anyone thinks 30 twists is too much for fresh coffee, that’s your choice. But I’m not bothered. I could even say I’m helping out with my coffee’s freshness, and getting a little morning exercise. 😊Highly recommended, especially for coffee obsessive. I also btw have Fellow’s Ode coffee grinder, a truly thoroughbred piece of gear.

I like these canisters because they keep freshly roasted coffee beans at peak freshness until I've used them up (usually 10 days from opening a bag). Some say the seals don't hold, but that's not ever been my experience (with three of them, over four years) -- what happens is the beans outgas CO2, which is a gas actually protective of coffee bean freshness. Freshly-roasted beans outgas quite rapidly, but this process slows down considerably (even for a year or more). The only reason for outside air to enter through the seal is if bean chaff or other small particles get stuck in the rim of the canister by the lid - hard to see, but running a fingernail covered with a facial tissue gets this crud out (usually, if you're pouring beans out of the canister vice spooning them out. Mine have worked wonderfully. The 700cc size canister will usually hold the coffee from a 12oz bag - in cases where it doesn't, using some of the coffee right away solves this problem (I never open a bag unless I'm going to use some right away anyway).

I ordered one of these in late November 23, and by early February 24, the indicator seal was decompressing on its own after a day or two - the container was defective and wouldn't hold a vacuum - its sole purpose. Initially, customer service said that they would have Fellow (the seller) contact me within 2 business days about a refund. I never heard from the seller, so I reached back out to Amazon.Although I was technically outside the Amazon 30-day return window, it's absurd that a $40 vacuum seal container would stop holding a seal after only about two months. I contacted customer service, and although they didn't have the option to issue a return directly, they suggested I purchase a second container and said I could reach out as soon as I received it for customer service to issue a "returnless refund," functionally replacing the initial defective one for no cost.I received the second canister, which seemed to work...for almost two weeks. Then, I noticed that the vacuum indicator button remains depressed - indicating the canister is under an airtight seal - even when the lid is fully off. So, this second canister is also defective. And, since I technically already had a refund issued for this second "purchase," I can't return the second canister for a third canister (or for an additional refund).So now I am stuck with two defective canisters, having paid for one and wanting neither. Fellow products look lovely (with a price that reflects that keen design), but this item doesn't work for the one thing it is supposed to do.Learn from my loss: don't put yourself in my situation where you're stuck with a piece of pretty junk you can't return that stops working almost immediately after the Amazon return window closes.

I wasn’t sure how much of an upgrade I’d be making since my old supplement bottles are already about the same shape and size as this airtight food storage container. But once you put them side by side, the difference is clear — flimsy plastic versus a dense, engineered matte finish that looks and feels intentional.I use one as a supplement storage jar for daily recovery mix and another for pre-workout, and the airtight seal keeps everything fresh while eliminating the cheap look of gym tubs. The compact footprint also makes it easy to line up neatly on a shelf or counter without losing space.What stands out most is the balance of form and function: this modern kitchen canister doesn’t just look sharp, it has actually made my daily routine smoother. A simple upgrade that truly elevates the space it occupies!— Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign
