Fellow Atmos Electric Vacuum Coffee Canister 1.2L - Auto-Seal Steel | Preserves Freshness, Holds 16 oz Whole Bean Coffee, 4-Month Battery, Airtight Seal for Loose Leaf Tea & Spices, Matte Black

I run through beans quick but this does keep it sealed and fresh. Good work flow to have it seal while finishing up my cup of coffee and will auto seal when air gets in. Battery life is great I charge it once in a while when I remember but never died on me. If you keep this in the same room that you sleep for some reason don’t get it when it auto takes air out at 2am it’s not quiet but that’s rare anyone would be doing this. If you’re in a studio keep it in a cabinet maybe?

These Atmos Electric Vacuum Canister are amazing. Keeps coffee super fresh and love that they every so often automatically purge themselves from air. A must have for fresh coffee. A little on the expensive side however worth every penny if you enjoy fresh coffee.

I LOVE coffee and recently started ordering it from a company that roasts each order for shipping, so I wanted to maximize the freshness and a friend had recommended these canisters. I bought two to start with and couldn't be happier with them. The vacuum seal is so tight that if you try to remove the lid without releasing the seal, you won't be able to open it. I've been buying coffee in two pound batches and the coffee in the canisters smells and tastes just as fresh after 3 weeks as it does on the day I receive it. I was hesitant at first to spend about $80.00 per canister, but I'm glad I did it because I feel these are worth the price because they keep my coffee beans so fresh. I plan to buy two more.

Amazing product and great value for the money. Very easy to use, great size and shape. Airtight and durable.

This is a fairly expensive storage container, ideal for storing oxygen-sensitive stuff, like coffee. If that isn’t what you need, you should look at cheaper non-vacuum containers. This is one of the few options that actively creates and maintains a vacuum inside the container. It’s made a noticeable difference in the freshness of my stored coffee. If you plan to use it for coffee, though, I suggest not buying the glass version of this product, as coffee is also light sensitive. Here are some pros of this container: * The version I bought is made almost entirely of metal. Plus what little plastic there is won’t come in contact with whatever you decide to store in it. It is sturdy and coated in a premium feeling matte textured coating (the inside is bare metal). * It is easy to charge and uses USB-C. The port is on the side of the canister’s lid, so it can be charged while closed. A charge also lasts a long time. I’ve gone months without needing to recharge the unit (though your experience will vary, since I usually only open mine 1-2 times per day. * The canister keeps itself under constant pressure, running the pump to remove air periodically as the internal vacuum drops. * The pump is quiet and doesn’t run for long (about 1 minute). I used a decibel meter and the worst case reading, directly putting the meter next to the canister (which is like holding the canister up to your ear while it is running the pump) was 60 decibels, but most of the time it was between 50-55 decibels. A measurement taken at ear level while standing in front of the canister which was on a kitchen counter, the decibels were around 40-45. Given that an average quiet room is around 35-40, that’s really quiet. See the video for an actual recording of the pump in action. * The larger container I purchased holds a full pound of coffee, but only just. Here are the cons: * The container can be somewhat difficult to open as there are no points to easily grasp and pull up on the top. I wish it had a recessed area on the side of the top that would allow you to more easily pull up when you are opening it. * I wish there were more size options. I usually get my coffee in two pound bags (yes, really 32 oz. bags) and I’d like to be able to store all of that. * The vacuum could be better. It’s not possible to get a perfect vacuum, but I do wish it maintained a more complete one than it does. * This is expensive for its size. You definitely won’t be buying a bunch of these unless you have a lot of disposable income, so you’ll have to be judicious in its use. Coffee, pure dark chocolate, tea, or maybe saffron are the only items expensive enough to warrant a container like this. It’s too small and expensive for things like cereal. * A non-replaceable rechargeable battery isn’t a great choice for this product. The battery will die long before the container itself does. If you want a high quality container that provides and maintains a reasonable vacuum state, this might be for you. It’s expensive, but should last until the rechargeable battery dies.

If I could afford to store every dry good in these, I would. Maybe not super fine particles given the build and lid structure, but for nuts, dry fruits, and, for us, coffee beans it's perfect. Charge lasts a long while for the lid and I can say that it does sense the need to remove air again at random. At any random point I may hear it go off and have that "what the heck is that?" moment and then realize it's the jar doing its job. Love it. The coffee smells and tastes fresh over and over. To be clear, we go through about 24oz of fresh roasted whole bean per month. We use Atlas Coffee for a subscription and get to try different roasts and regions. These jars are perfect for preserving freshness. Just don't expect it to keep whole beans or grind fresh forever - that isn't how coffee works.

Really keeps the beans fresh. Unfortunately after about a year it stopped taking a charge.

UPDATE: To those people saying these don't hold vacuum and so on, I bought mine, four of them, in 2024 and they all still work perfectly. I also very seldom have to charge them. (I actually wonder if some of these people read the instructions and charged them at all.) Since I bought a Jura J8 and use that in addition to my Moccamaster, I am actually here to buy more of these because they work so well and I am exploring a lot more beans than my usual Sumatra and Arabian Mocha Java. When Fellow blows it, I'll be honest about it. I returned the Fellow Aiden after eight days, for instance. These are definitely keepers. ORIGINAL REVIEW: On Fellow's web site you can just buy the new electric lid and use it with your existing Atmos canister if you already own one. As of July 2024 it's $50 for each electric lid at Fellow, so had I known that I would have bought two electric lids rather than one new canister with an electric lid. (The canister part below the lid is exactly the same part as the non-electric lid original version you may already own--including the fact that you can't really put 1 pound of coffee inside [typically when I have a new 1 pound bag of coffee I pour 69 g for my Moccamaster, then fill the canister, and STILL have a bit of coffee beans in the bag to use up the next day before I can discard the bag]. I wish they made this slightly larger to really fit 1 pound of whole bean coffee. Note that their marketing literature says "up to 1 pound," not that it actually holds 1 pound; and yes, I realize with coffee getting more and more expensive it is often now sold in 12-ounce bags instead of 16-ounce [1 pound] bags. Just something to keep in mind. I mostly buy Sumatra whole bean coffee or Arabian Mocca Java from Peet's, and neither one from a 1 pound bag will fit in the canister completely.) Also, if you're the kind of person who buys pre-ground coffee, this product is not for you. Per Fellow, pre-ground coffee will eventually clog (and ruin) the filter in the lid. Fellow doesn't make it easy to find all the literature for this (such as a PDF version of the user's guide that you're going to want to refer to to see what the different colors of the LED indicator in the lid mean [charging, charged, no vacuum, etc.]) but it's there on the site if you dig around. The new electric lid charges with USB-C (plugged into the side of the lid) and the charge lasts about 3 months (says Fellow's site), so about four times a year you will need to charge this. With this new electric version you no longer need to give the lid a few extra twists every few days to restore acceptable vacuum. The electric lid monitors the vacuum and automatically does that for you. This feature alone is a worthwhile reason to upgrade, as I was recently on vacation for a week and didn't have to worry about walking over and twisting my lids manually, the new Atmos did it for me while I was away from home. It's also great to be relieved of having to give the lid 25 to 30 turns each morning after I make coffee to restore the vacuum and remove the air from inside. (When the canister is mostly full of coffee beans you may get away with fewer turns, but as the coffee beans diminish each day in the canister and there's more air space, that's typically how many turns I used to give my non-electric lids on the Atmos.) The original version of the Fellow Atmos made my Airscape canisters obsolete overnight, but now with the new electric lid that maintains vacuum for you, the Airscape is really a bit of a joke (I have four of them to find good homes for--or add to the landfill situation with soon--as there's no point in buying them or keeping them when the fellow Atmos, especially the new electric version, is so vastly superior).

Works fine for my coffee beans

La Fellow Atmos eléctrica me ha sorprendido desde el primer día. A pesar de llevar poco tiempo con ella, no he tenido ningún problema: mantiene el vacío perfectamente y de forma muy estable. Se nota que el sistema funciona sin esfuerzo y sin necesidad de estar pendiente. La capacidad también es ideal para el día a día. Unos 250 g de granos de café ocupan aproximadamente la mitad del envase, lo que deja espacio de sobra para que el mecanismo trabaje bien y para manejar los granos con comodidad. Totalmente recomendable para quienes quieran mantener su café fresco.

I’ve got a few normal Atmos containers but this ones became my daily used ones It’s so good, so easy to use and keeps your beans fresh.

Formidable : pratique, élégant et très facile d’utilisation, bref je recommande absolument.

Using it is as simple as it gets: press the button as you grab it, wait a couple of seconds and the white led tells you vacuum is gone and you can open it, take out some coffee, put the lid back on, press the button as you put it away and leave it, it will seal itself in seconds. Coffee beans stay fresh for much longer that using a regular cannister.
