Whilst on a recent weekend away, we had just arrived in our holiday home after a five hour delayed flight and running off 1 ½hours sleep. One of my fellow travellers had been repeatedly grumbling about how desperate he was for a coffee – however, when I brandished an ancient looking jar of instant coffee under his nose, he looked at me like I had just offered him my sweat-ridden hiking socks in a cup of boiling water. The point I am trying to make here is that just because all coffee has the word “coffee” on the label, doesn’t mean it all tastes the same. Once the beans have been roasted, it’s a race against time to turn them into a cup of coffee before they lose their flavour. Before you pluck your favourite brand from the shop shelf it has already gone through a long and difficult process to get there - the least you can do is look after the finished product!

The Coffee Gator Canister is a mess-free way to store your coffee and keep it fresher for longer. The Gator holds 14oz/408g of ground coffee or 16oz/453g of whole bean and is made from premium quality stainless steel. Fun fact - coffee beans naturally emit CO2, but if the beans are exposed to the CO2 for too long, it can start to deteriorate their quality and impact on the flavour. The Gator has a built-in one-way valve on the lid that allows the CO2 to escape whilst at the same time preventing air and light from entering and damaging the beans. There is also a handy wheel on the lid that lets you keep track of the expiry date - you could just remember or put a sticker on the jar, but let’s face it, this looks so much better.

I think if I waved this canister at my coffee-snob friend, even if it was full of supermarket basic instant coffee, he would probably accept it to share in its good looks alone (please do not dirty the inside of this canister with instant coffee). Anything that can sustain my favourite coffee beans’ flavour and reduce waste gets the thumbs up from me. RRP £24.99
