Friis Coffee Vault Giveaway Ends 1/13

Friis Coffee Vault Giveaway Ends 1/13

 I love this Coffee Vault!  The Stainless Steel looks so nice and fits on the counter so well.  I used to use a cookie jar to store my coffee in and I now know that wasn't the best choice.  Keeping coffee in regular canisters that don't lock out air causes your coffee to go bad really fast. 
I never really thought about how to keep coffee fresher for longer until I found out about the Friis Coffee Vault.
I did a test with a new can of coffee.  I put half in my cookie jar as usual and the other half in the Friis Coffee Vault.  In just two weeks we were able to tell the difference in smell, taste and color.  The coffee stored in the Friis Coffee Vault was much fresher, had a better flavor and kept its original color.
I would recommend this product to everyone who really enjoys a great cup of coffee everyday.

Here's some information from Friis:

“With 160+ million coffee drinkers in the U.S., everyone knows a coffee lover and nearly all
admit frustration over ways to store coffee so it doesn’t become bitter and stale,” said Keith
Emmel, Director of Business Development of Friis, Inc., www.friiscoffee.com.

“In the U.S. alone, 4 out of 5 Americans drink coffee and 75% of total cups of coffee
consumed are home brewed,” said H. Arthur Wing, President of Wing Enterprises, owner of Friis, Inc. “The shelf life of coffee is actually shortened by today’s popular, yet problem causing storage methods. Current storage options based on long-held, common misconceptions such as storing coffee in the freezer or its original package cause coffee to go stale faster.
A video of the Friis Coffee Vault can be viewed at http://friiscoffee.com/commercials.
All forms of coffee, both whole bean and ground, have been roasted. The roasting process caramelizes the sugars in coffee beans and forms essential oils. These sugars and essential oils give coffee its varying flavor and aroma profiles.
After roasting, four external factors break down and degrade the original flavor coffee drinkers love—CO2 gases, moisture, light and air. The key to rich tasting coffee is limiting the effects of these external forces through proper storage. The Friis Freshness Valve™ vents away trapped carbon dioxide gas created during the roasting process and the Friis Coffee Vault blocks out moisture, light, and air to seal in flavor. In less than one week, consumers can taste the Friis difference.
The Coffee Vault by Friis is ideal for use at home, the office, R.V. or anywhere coffee is brewed. Coffee Vault is easy-to-use, affordable, sleek and is available in stainless steel or a durable food-safe, BPA-free polymer classic black base. The Friis Coffee Vault can be purchased online at www.friiscoffee.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Friis™ Coffee Vault™?
The Friis Coffee Vault is the worldʼs first coffee storage canister with a freshness valve
that preserves the rich, full flavor of coffee.

What makes the Friis Coffee Vault unique?
Until now, there has not been a coffee storage canister that eliminates each of the four
causes of flavor loss in whole bean and ground coffee—CO2 gases, moisture, light and
air. The Friis Coffee Vault releases trapped carbon dioxide gases and blocks out
moisture, light and air that destroy the flavor of coffee.

Why would someone want to purchase the Friis Coffee Vault?
Most of the 160+ million coffee drinkers in the U.S. donʼt realize the way they currently
store their coffee actually is shortening its shelf life, causing the bitter and stale taste
they despise. The Friis Coffee Vault is the worldʼs most effective coffee storage
canister, preserving the premium taste discerning coffee drinkers desire.

Are there other coffee storage canisters like the Friis Coffee Vault on the market?
No. Although there are other canisters that address some of the reasons coffee loses
its flavor, the Friis Coffee Vault is the only canister in the world that addresses all four
factors: trapped CO2, light, air and moisture.

Doesnʼt a vacuum canister do a good job of sealing out oxygen?
Yes, it does a good job of preventing oxidation, but it also seals in the carbon dioxide
gases that are constantly coming from roasted beans or grounds. When you trap CO2
in with your coffee, it breaks down the flavor you love. The Friis Coffee Vault not only
prevents oxygen from getting in, but it lets the CO2 out. It is the only canister designed
to take care of the four external factors that break down and destroy the original flavor
coffee drinkers desire.

Who should purchase the Coffee Vault?
Every coffee drinker should own a Friis Coffee Vault because it will extend their coffeeʼs
shelf life and preserve the rich, full flavor; and it will save them money by not having to
throw away stale beans and grounds.

How does the Friis Freshness Valve™ work?
The patented Friis Freshness Valve is the key to eliminating trapped CO2 gas. The
valve is constructed with a unique filter that allows carbon dioxide gas to pass through
without allowing oxygen or other gases back in. This one-way valve removes the
trapped gas that breaks down and destroys coffee flavor over time.

How long does the Freshness Valve work?
It is recommended the Friis
replaced every 2 months. Consumers will receive a one-year supply or a six-month
supply of Freshness Valves for free with the purchase of a Friis Coffee Vault, depending
upon the model purchased.

How much coffee does the Friis Coffee Vault hold?
The Coffee Vault keeps up to 16 oz (1 lb) (452g) of whole bean or ground coffee fresh.

What is the Coffee Vault made of?
The Coffee Vault lid is constructed with a food-safe, BPA-free polymer. The Coffee
Vault base is constructed of food-safe stainless steel, or a durable food-safe, BPA-free
polymer black base.

Is the Coffee Vault dishwasher safe?
No. The best way to clean your Coffee Vault is with a damp paper towel. Please
thoroughly dry the Coffee Vault before storing coffee. Any moisture in the canister will
degrade the coffee flavor.

Where can the Friis Coffee Vault be purchased?
The Coffee Vault is available online at www.friiscoffee.com.

Why can the Coffee Vault only be purchased online?
The Friis Coffee Vault has initially been made available online for convenience and ease
of purchase. Due to the increasing demand for the product, many retailers and grocery
stores are working with Friis to bring the Coffee Vault to a store near you.

How much does the Coffee Vault cost?
The 16 oz. stainless steel Friis Coffee Vault SRP is $24.95. Additional Coffee Vault
models are also available from $16.00.

What comes with the Friis Coffee Vault?
In addition to the 16 oz. Coffee Vault, consumers will receive a one-year supply of
replacement Freshness Valves, a measuring spoon, an Art of Flavor booklet and
instructional guide. In the other models, consumers receive a six month supply of
replacement Freshness Valves and an instructional guide.

Why does coffee lose its flavor so quickly?
All forms of coffee, both whole bean and ground, have been roasted. The roasting
process caramelizes the sugars in coffee beans and forms essential oils. These sugars
and essential oils give coffee its varying flavor and aroma profiles. After roasting, four
external factors break down and destroy the original flavor coffee drinkers love—CO2
gases, moisture, light and air. The key to rich, full-flavored coffee is limiting the effects
of these external forces through proper storage.

Why not store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer?
Each time you take coffee out of the fridge, you create condensation in your coffee,
which causes it to spoil and lose flavor much faster.

How do you pronounce Friis?
Itʼs easy to pronounce: “freece.”
