Review on Airtight Stainless Steel Coffee Container: Co2 Valve, Date-Tracker, Scoop, 1.5L Size - Perfect for Ground Coffee, Beans, Tea, Sugar (Black) by Pam Hansen

I have been using this canister twice a day for 2 months and I am 100% satisfied with it. It looks great, keeps my floor looking fresh and should last a long time. The hinge and clasp hold up well and the seal still creates a very strong seal. The surface of the canister is smooth black and leaves no fingerprints. The lid's surface is glossy black and shows fingerprints, so it needs to be wiped from time to time. I took off 1 star because the month wheel doesn't work very well and the canister doesn't have instructions on how to change the valve. MONTH/VALVE DIAL REPLACEMENT When I first got this, it was very difficult to rotate the month dial. I don't know how to remove and replace the valve. FYI I don't know if this is the right way and I can't guarantee it will work for you, but it worked for me. I couldn't find any instructions from the manufacturer so I just looked and tried. Open the lid and you will see a white plastic valve at the bottom. Take something blunt and press down on the valve. This requires some pressure, so you may need to lay part of the cover on a flat surface, leaving the watch face exposed on the other side. Depressing the valve opens the valve and the month/day scale. It will fall to the ground, so do it in a place where it won't damage the surface if it falls. Once that's done, close the canister, put in the new plastic valve, put in the day disk, then put the month disk back in. After doing this process my month dial turned slightly for some reason so disassembling and reassembling fixed my month dial. Good luck and have fun!
