Is this pretty airtight? Say, for storing iced coffee in refrigerator?

No, the container does not have any type of seal so it's not airtight. The lid does sit well (fitted) on top of the glass container, but it is not airtight.

Not truly airtight. The glass top sits on the dispenser. It has a nice lip to hold it in place, but it is just gravity doing the work. But- the lid prevents contamination and would keep the drink from evaporating in the refrigerator. So I would use one in that way, probably a 1 gal or smaller.

I never got the product because it came into pieces and they were out of stock for replacement... sorry I can't help much!

There is not a rubber seal around the lid but it is pretty heavy. I have mine on the counter top for kumbucha and tea and do not have a problem with flies. It is pretty large if you have the space in thre refrigerator it would probably work well enough for that job.

The glass lid doesn't fit tight in top of the jug but it should keep well. I use mine for kombucha so I have to rubber band a cheese cloth around lid to ferment my tea. So for my purpose its perfect however I do not use the lid at all. I did have to replace the spigot but it was an easy and cheap fix.

I don't think the lid is supposed to be airtight. Mine has a small amount of unlevel, but it works perfectly fine. My experience in all my glass lid (metal edged) lids on crock pots is that once the moisture rises to the lid and flows to the lid edge a sort of water-seal forms with the shoulder of the crock and there is no unacceptable moisture loss.

We have lots of spices in them over the stove where there's a lot of boiling and steaming going on, no problems. But I would doubt they are "air tight." We have not experienced any salt clumping or other negative effects, and you can smell the spices if you sniff the container. I'd guess it's pretty close to airtight but I wouldn't submerge it with your micro ipod in it!

I would hesitate to say that it is sealed storage as it is not. However, each cup fits snugly into the space provided which would prevent it from being exposed to air. The cups are snug enough to hold them in place if the carousel is tipped yet removes easily for use. I hope this answers your question.

I would say yes it is airtight. They are glass jars with a plastic lid that screws on. The display is acrylic.

Yes, but not sure if airtight if not close to it. I use for cinnamon & sugar

Probably. If you are storing for an emergency, a glass storage container will keep the taste better, as will stainless (and stainless is not breakable). But if it's going to be used from time to time, it ought to be okay.

NEVER in the refrigerator and my advice has nothing to do with storage temperatures. Years ago I left mine brewing on the counter overnight, just as I'd always done. Oh what a nightmare when I returned to the kitchen in the morning! It had been leaking and coffee concentrate was all over the counter > down the front of the cabinet > oozing into the silverware drawer > then finally all over the floor!Leakage can occur from a worn out stopper or sometimes we simply don't get it placed tightly. To avoid a frightening mess ONLY brew your coffee IN THE SINK!!!

It's shelf stabile. I keep it in my box of brewing stuff. You could refrigerate if you'd like but there's really no need.

yes, it is airtight. It never last long enough to go stale, the container is really small if you stack up, it's a poor design, it takes half the room. Today I only use it to store tea bags, formula, things that takes little room. I now use the zoli sumo snack stack.

I don't. I have a container that is pretty airtight. I have never had any problems.

I've put mine in the freezer for up to an hour with hot coffee in it. I haven't tried longer but I bet it's fine.

Yes, but your coffee should be stored airtight, so not sure how it would affect the taste...

I use it indoors. I don't believe it would be watertight; there is no seal around the opening.

Airtight. Hmm... I guess that depends on what you mean by airtight. I haven't put anything fermented or effervescent into them, where I might have seen leakage under pressure, but I had a thin liquid (ethyl alcohol, the drinkable kind), and if I just gently shook or inverted the jar, it leaked. If you're just looking to prevent odd tastes from getting into something you have in the fridge, for example, they're probably fine. But they are definitely not for preserving or canning.

They aren't air tight, but I've placed them in my fridge before without any issues.

It is not totally air tight. I don't fill it up completely, so I'm adding beans every few days. Having said that, I've never had an issue with freshness.
