I want to store coffee at work, will this store a weeks worth or more of coffee(ground) at a time and be fresh? can this travel well?

It should be ok travelling, but keep in mind the lid is not as secure as a screw on or snaplock lid. It is not a vacuum (though I couldn't see it coming off). Functionally it is the same as any jar. There is no magic venting or vacuum.

It holds a half pound. Ground probably more. Tight seal that contains smell well. The lid has an air release that doesn't allow it to open unless you press it so it will travel well. A weeks worth? Depends how much coffee you drink ;)

Yes, BUT, it's not FINE enough. You will get some sludge. If you are diligent and grind your coffee in larger grounds it might be okay. I abandoned mine.

I think this product is best as a travel solution. My issue with this filter cone is that it brews too quickly. Ideally, water would steep through the coffee grounds for 4-5 minutes to get full flavor. Either the holes in this product are too big or there should only be one hole, but the coffee simply brews much too quickly. I like this product a lot for when I travel. But at home it is sub-optimal. Hope this was helpful.

The lid fits fairly tight but it is not air tight. I have gone thru three large bags of coffee so far and have not had a problem with it staying fresh. I think Robert B. Whyte summed it up best.

Catherine, I had this same question when reviewing owners questions and answers on Amazon's site. All the reviews seemed to be talking about grinding their own beans, but I looked the coffee maker over real good and it looked to me that I could use already ground coffee from a can or a pouch. I bought it and sure enough it handles ground coffee just like any other coffee maker. Enjoy, it's working great. (The lighted clock "is" really bright but no bother to me. Hey ! It's in the kitchen not in the bedroom! LOL

I have a fruit basket on top of mine, with breads on the 2nd shelf n 3 bottles of wine-I believe it would hold your coffee pot depending on the size of the base- I do not move my cart-it remains in one place.

If you travel with it, it's going to break. You can't just buy one thing for your coffee game. You've got to buy a way to brew it, store it, and transfer it, like a Thermos.

Good question. Hmm. I get approx 2 pots of coffee from a full bean storage container. I guess I should read how to adjust the grind maybe save some money. I usually make a pot and waste 1/2 of ur. Not to smart I guess

No the best use is flat , the coffee pods are not secure and will fall out if the storage draw is vertical.

It actually depends on how many cups you plan on making in advance, how long they sit, and what sort of drawer they're too sit in.If you're using freshly ground coffee and the filters are going to be in an air tight container for maybe a week's worth of cups, then that works fine. Even better if you can put them in the fridge in a Tupperware container, covered well so the grounds don't absorb other flavors. I hope that helps!

The coffee isn't BAD. I would guess a lot depends on your k-cups, water quality, etc. honestly, I don't consider this product to be a good cup if coffee- it's more of a hot caffeine delivery system. No worse than any other keurig, but not as good as fresh ground.

I use a cup of whole beans at a time, don't think a whole pound would fit, plus the hopper wouldn't hold a pound of ground coffee.

There is a separate outlet for ground coffee but is restricted to one cup at a time. You can not used ground coffee in the main bean container. Use of the one cup slot is messy and requires cleaning after each use. I would not recommend if you intend to primarily use for ground coffee. BUT FRESH BEANS ARE BETTER ANYWAY!!

It is an easy answer. Just put the coffee in it and close it. Depend upon how you want it you put a little or a lot of coffee in it. Never fill it to the top. �

I use it everyday and it seems to work really well. The coffee is fresh and it is an airtight seal. I like it.

Yes, it doesn't sit well in it empty, but once coffee is placed in it and water poured you should be okay.

Yes it's outstanding but just depends on the coffee you use . I work at a coffee roastery so coffee is always fresh for me . Makes a huge difference :)
