I love my OXO products. I swear by them, became an insider, buy them for myself and others. I received this product just after buying a house and while I was struggling to set up a pantry. I was so excited for this product. It says it hold a pound of coffee. I put grounds inside instead. After sealing the container it was very easy for me to slid the lid off. I thought with it being air tight sealed there would be a little more of a fight to get the lid off the container. The coffee remains fresh but a little disappointed in this product.
