Roasted Coffee Tin With Valve

[thejavaman]

SM's added a new "roasted coffee tin" with a degassing valve to their site today: .  I really don't see the advantage of these over valve bags though (besides reusability).  I may have to buy some, just to test them out....

I love that...

Open your can
Get coffee
Close can
grind some coffee
brew coffee

You can do this over and over again...

I like the tins that aren't roasted.

Not only that, the diaphragm is made of paper AND it's on the bottom.  Wouldn't coffee oils seep into it and render it ineffective in short order?

That being said - I really like it!   Just seems like there could be a few items changed to make it even better.

I love the idea.  It is strange that the valve is on the bottom.  I'd be willing to give it a shot though.

I think C02 is heavier than air, right?  How would O2 get pushed out the bottom.  Clearly, this business major is lost but it doesn't hurt to learn...

You didn't see the tipsheet that says to turn it upside down between uses?

Looks like a design boner to me.  The oil will, indeed, plug it up over time.   But I would anticipate that the CO2 and O2 would be fairly well mixed on such a small scale, due to entropy and diffusive forces.

Now I get it.  This is a California product.  It is best used upside down.

Sounds like the problem is solved.  Good thing it has a flat lid!

I love how they limit you to 4, even though "...you should be able to clean off any residual coffee oils with a dry towel and reuse the tin quite a few times.".

Reuse a tin a few times?

What if I want to buy 8 or 10 in case they start to wear out?  Guarantee you their state-of-art shopping cart will let me buy all 10 of them, followed by a phone call saying, "We shipped 4, only charged you for 4, but still charged you tax and full shipping.  Enjoy your 4 measly tins!".

Total joke.

Can't stand their site, their shopping cart, their commentary, and their purchase limits.

You mean that I'm not the only one having had that experience?    

The one that always p!$$ed me off was when I would get some choice score on the sale page, decide to add a few pounds of coffee (that wouldn't be cost-effective to order otherwise), then I get the above aforementioned phone call telling me that I have basically paid $12 a pound for a couple of pounds of coffee because the sale item was already sold.

It is call marketing...

ooohhhh...and to that I say: Norcal product. To piggy back off my first retort I say: Isn't everything a California product? Without us the states are basically a third world economy

The problem is you keep exporting the flakes, fruits, and nuts to the rest of the country.
