KEEPING COFFEE FRESH
FOR SIXTY YEARS. Think of
something which will hold tight,
not squoosh, keep air out, look
bright and shut up when you
want it to and there you have
the coffee can.
Coffee companies have been
meeting these requirements for
decades. And in some pretty
fascinating ways.
Take that staunch five-pound
can with the wire handle. Re
mind you of a farmer's pail?
Well, with five pounds of cof
fee in it, this type of coffee has
probably served many a big
old-fashioned farm family, and
the farm hands, too.
But look at the canister right
next to it the very newest
M.J.B. can in our picture. Any
thing the other can do, it can
do better. It's a vacuum
packed, two-pound can which
you can open with a regular
can opener, no kev. no unwind
ing). Then you throw the metal lid away and use the extra plastic top for re-closing. It fits mora
snugly than metal would, so, the coffee stays fresher longer.
You can also throw away the paper brand label and when the M.J.B. coffee's all gone, you
have a handsome, non-commercial-looking, generous-size canister with a tight-fitting plastic top.
All for the regular price of the coffee inside!
It goes to show we've come a long, long Way from the coffee barrel and scoop in the gen
eral store, and the coffee toted home in paper bags.
The oldest coffee can in our collection is that slim-one-pound one at the upper left. And talk
about fashions going in circles; it has almost exactly the same shape as the very newest one
pound cans.
Now about sizes. Time was when they sold tins as small as that 'i pound tin! The latest thing
these days is the three-pound size an extremely economical way to buy coffee. If you're wor
ried about losing freshness and flavor too fast, do what the coffee experts advise: close it
really tightly (the new plastic lids will assure this). And keep the can in the refrigerator.
Freshness used to be a much bigger problem than it is now. Before airtight coffee cans,
women bought coffee in green bean form so it would hold its flavor better. Then they had to
roast it at home a hazardous process which vielded nice brown beans some of the time, and
clouds of black smoke other times.
Home roasting (and home grinding) dropped out after the vacuum-packed coffee can cama
in, during the early twenties. But in the forty years since then there's been practically no change.
What with the new plastic top canisters, the stubby key-unwinding cans we're used to may soon
be in antique shops. The ones that aren't retired to a dignified old age as paint cans, that is.
Oh yes you'll find M.J.B. coffee at your favorite grocer's.
