All products produced and developed by Vacu Vin are distinguished by their originality, as well as their favourable price-to-quality ratio

HISTORY
It all began in 1983 when Mr Bernd Schneider, founder of Vacu Vin, came up with the idea for the Vacuum Wine Saver. His idea for the Wine Saver sprang directly from the taste of spoiled wine
Together with his brother John, an engineer, he developed a device to preserve opened bottles of wine. Today, the Vacuum Wine Saver is used in over 30 million households in more than 75 countries throughout the world. In 1986 Vacu Vin was founded to manufacture and distribute the Vacuum Wine Saver, soon to be followed by the introduction of many other innovative houseware products. Today, the Vacu Vin product range has proven its success by being granted over 20 international Design and Trade Awards
PHILOSOPHY

The introduction of unique products with an added value enables Vacu Vin to offer something extra to both consumer and retailer. The uniqueness of the product range is being emphasised by the fact that all products are patented world-wide to avoid imitation by other companies
As an internationally operating company it is important to have a certain guideline and aim on which to focus. Vacu Vin`s focus is being described in the following mission statement
"To be an international manufacturer and distributor of innovative food and wine-related products for home and professional use, which are characterised by their practical applications in daily circumstances. All products produced and developed by Vacu Vin are distinguished by their originality, as well as their favourable price-to-quality ratio."
Once exposed to the air, ground coffee quickly loses its flavour and aroma. The vacuum pump simply extracts the air from the Vacuum Coffee Saver creating a vacuum, so that flavour and aroma of the coffee will be kept in perfect condition. The dark colour of the container protects the coffee from the harmful effects of light.

I suppose the best way to make coffee is to grind the beans and make the coffee immediately. That isn't really practical for me. I'd be grinding about an hour before anyone else in the house gets out of bed.
So I need a way to keep the grounds fresh for a few days. I purchased this a couple of months ago and it seems to work very well. Pumping the air out
really does seem to preserve coffee for that extra few days, I've used grounds up to a week after grinding and been satisfied that while not at its best it certainly wasn't stale.
Roasted beans kept in one of these seem to keep for ages.
I grind enough coffee to do me three or four days about 250 grams, so I rarely seem to have this more than half full. While this may not be ideal I often fill the filter basket from my moka-pot over the wide opening and there is almost no mess.
Negatives: It's made of plastic - pumping the air out is a bit tedious.
Positives - works, mess free and inexpensive compared to a lot of coffee gadgets, realistic coffee storage solution in a domestic environment.

OK - I don't use this for coffee - it's too large for the smaller packets of ground we get from the supermarket (250g) and we get through them quickly enough anyway.
I also have the vacuvin vacuum marinator (marinater?) but it is an awkward shape to fit into the dishwasher and is rather large.
Enter this item, sold as a coffee saver. I find it brilliant for rapid marination of, say, enough chicken for several kebab skewers. I tend to put everything into a small, sealable sandwich bag as it keeps the marinade in contact with the meat and eliminates the mess. The deep shape is excellent for this. Then into the vacuum jar, pump the air out and get on with the other ingredients - 5 minutes is enough to make a massive difference. Incidentally I use the same technique with the large dish but it is wide and shallow so doesn't support the bag so well. Obviously you could do it without the bag but then you have to wash the whole thing up.
I was sceptical at first but vacuum marination is fantastic for those impromtu meals and this is worth the cupboard space, get this rather than the big dish version. Five stars based on this use rather than for coffee.

Does exactly what you expect. Perfect.
Just keep in mind it's 1.3 litre, so you need a good quantity of coffee to fill it.

Vacuvin coffee canister
Just what we needed for the office. Coffee comes in 500 gm packs so ideal. Wouldn't work so well for the usual supermarket 250gm packs though.
