There was a woman on Facebook who used the empty Folgers containers for flour, sugar, and etc to store on her counter. She decorated each container for each product she placed in them. Maybe you could find someone who would like to have your empty containers.
You could have fit a lot more in each jar if you would have tamped it. Fill it about a quarter full, then tap lightly on the counter several times to allow the coffee to settle in tighter. Fill some more, tamp some more, etc. Works with any dry product, and makes your jars go farther.😊.😊
Thank you for this! I feel better now cuz I was not sure how this was gonna turn out. I appreciate you commenting. I am sure it will help others as well! Have a great day!!!
Do you need an oxygen absorber and then vacuum seal the jar? I agree that using a cupcake liner is a good idea so that no coffee granules accidentally get caught in the tubing. However, I don't quite understand the need for both the absorber and vacuum seal. Don't they each accomplish the same thing? I think it would be cheaper to vacuum seal rather than use up the oxygen absorber since it loses power each time you open the jar. What do you think?
HI there, I know some people do not use oxygen absorbers for pasta and rice but I am not sure on the cofee. I just add them in to be on the safe side. I have a huge stockpile of them so its just peace of mind for myself by using them.
@@LoveMyCoffee10 Doesn’t coffee have natural oils. If so, they say not to use the oxygen absorbers for items with oils-such as peanuts, nuts in general, etc.
I honestly do not know since I never have done it before. I just heard somewhere that plastic for long term is not good to store in so I had jars and figured I would do it. Plus I had them all in bins and the space just was crazy that it took up.
It's stored in Plastic, which from Commercial Companies they put toxins into the plastic, kinda like the 16 ounce water bottles. They are not long term storage. Research Long Term Storage and Rotate your pantry always.
I honestly do not know. I never have done the coffee before. I guess I just have to have hubby let me know if it changes taste lol.. I wont try it as I hate coffee
I read during the pandemic that in glass coffee will last pretty close to indefinitely. I read this on one of the canning pages on FB and also on You Tube. But for the life of me I can’t remember the channel or the persons name.

thats a good idea. thanks so much.
@@LazarickHomestead Mine go straight to my husband's barn. They are great for holding/storing bolts, nails, pvc fittings etc.
I save all mine and reuse them in my kitchen, storage and everything or anything else.
And the can be vacuum resealed .
@@JoanWakefield yup.. gotta save money where we can. thats for sure!
Coffee beans will store much better. We use Mylar with one way valves because coffee off gases. There are also oils in coffee.
.
Oh we stocked on coffee beans too lol.. we have one whole drawer of whole beans in the freezer too..
Exactly, coffee beans are hard as they are short term if kept in bean form. I always use Mylar bags for dry goods.
I found that a good used lid seals better than a new lid With a sealer machine you do not need oxygen absorber moister absorber maybe
oooh thats soo good to know. I have tons of used lids!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the tip!.. I am a work in progress over here. I do that with the pasta normally just didnt think to do it with the coffee!!
@@LazarickHomesteaddo it on a folded up towel so you don’t break your jars.
@@Myfavorites877 thanks!
I just opened a coffee from 2017. It is just as fresh as a new one. As long as it is stored in a cool dark place, it will last for years.

@@LazarickHomesteadI like to use a couple of oxygen absorbers in case the sealed lid should come loose … added protection
@@LoveMyCoffee10 Doesn’t coffee have natural oils. If so, they say not to use the oxygen absorbers for items with oils-such as peanuts, nuts in general, etc.
We keep 4 months of ground and 2 years of Folgers instant on hand.
thats a good idea. I tried coffee once and did not like it so its only the husband that drinks it.. sometimes my son but not much
@@LazarickHomestead the instant last almost forever
Most of the coffee is already vacuumed sealed. So how does that extend the life? Just trying to learn.

Never saw this done before. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping in to watch it. I learn as I go honestly.
I’m gonna Mylar bags a bunch of our coffee .and put in buckets
that sounds cool too.. let me know how it comes out since I never did that.
Maybe a nice smelling wax melt going at the same time you are working on the coffee will help you with the smell? 😊😊
OMG that is a great idea.. I cant stand the smell of coffee lol.. I must be the only one on the planet like that lol..
I did Swiss miss also❤❤😊
we love Swiss Miss over here.. I like the Swiss Miss Peppermint the best!
Me too !
hi there and welcome in!
And how long do you expect that this coffee will stay fresh doing it this way?
I honestly do not know. I never have done the coffee before. I guess I just have to have hubby let me know if it changes taste lol.. I wont try it as I hate coffee

@@26debsterdots I am hoping it lasts really long. But its coffee lol.. its the husband who has to be happy with it so it is what it is lol
I thought the oil in them goes bad?
I have no idea.. never stored coffee before this way.. so I will wait for hubby to tell me when he cracks one open. I am not a coffee drinker
I'm sorry you don't like coffee...I find that un-American. 😂
lol
if you are vacuum sealing why the oxygen absorbers I disliked your video because of false info
