Does the grinder half detach from the storage container? I have had plenty of experience that my particular coffee beans keep their taste better if they are frozen, so I'd like to put the container in the freezer. This doesn't look like it'd fit in my...

You can detach the crank at the top by removing two screws, but you cannot remove the bowl that holds the un-ground beans at the top.

I do not know, however I can tell you that the grinder holds a good amount of beans so I have never considered it a problem.

Hey Susan, it's never recommended to put your beans in the freezer. Dries them out. This keeps them pretty fresh. I've got a couple of them!

it comes completely off. It has 4 locks on the lid. I use mine for senseo pods. it will hold a whole bag.

Hi Zan,Hi Zan, I replaced two receptacles on my burr coffee grinder, as of recently it seems that it has gotten hard to find the replacements so I'll tell you what I did I'm a outside the box thinker. I had a small pottery bowl that fit perfectly under the grinding mechanism and it is wide at the top so that the coffee doesn't fly out and that's what I've been using for the past nine months. Good Luck ;-)

There are only 2 parts. The base, which is where you put the beans. And the plastic top which includes the silver piece that looks like a spout... you press down on that to activate the cutting blade. But there is no separate container for removing the ground coffee. You have to scoop it out.

Apologies in advance if this isn't what you are looking for... Does the following help?When finished grinding a specified number of cups, and you *do not* tap the side of the housing, there is less than a quarter tsp of grounds (qualify this: winter season, low humidity, northern midwest US, at this writing). If you gently tap the housing, there really is not any retained grounds.If you unlock the feeder bin, and remove it. There is a variable amount, between a 1/8 and a 1/4 cup of half beans and parts. Good Journey!

No Pamela, The continer has 4 snaps to lock it. Do not push the valve, it will come out so you can wash it if necessary. When you lock Beansafe, the valve releases the gasses from inside and keeps air from coming back it. It is the only container to keep coffee fresh. You can store beans or grounds. Just close the container and it does the rest. Thank you

The hopper that holds the beam can be locked and lifted out of the grinder. You can then transfer the remaining beans in the hopper to another container. You don't have to finish all the beams in it. Just swap out the old one with any new beans you want to use.

I just put mine open in the back of my re-fridge. The coffee comes out fine too!

i put mine in the freezer all the time. reserve room for expansion when storing liquid that will freeze.

I put dark roast coffee beans in my 1.5 qt container and when I opened the cupboard, I could smell the coffee scent so that indicates it is not a tight seal. I've also noticed rice cracker type snacks getting stale after a few weeks. I transferred my coffee beans to the old style clamping container and now don't smell the coffee aroma in my cupboard. Has anyone else noticed this?

No it does not--and for a reason--if you press or "squeeze" the grinds it will release a more acidic and very bold tasting brew which is often also quite bitter depending on how dark the beans your using are roasted. So the couple of ounces your trying to squeeze out is best used for your flowers!--they'll respond in glorious fashion!!

I've never really had a problem removing it. You need to hold down the button on the grinder to keep it locked in place then spin the cup. Maybe get a large pair of channel locks to help spin the cup off. Good luck...

You are correct. You do not have to remove it. Be aware that you absolutely do not want to use a fine ground coffee. They will overflow

While freezing the cannister probably won't do any harm, it is really designed for storing your whole beans at room temperature. I am very happy with the way it keeps my beans fresh for a long time. I keep them in a cabinet at room temperature.

In a word, No. And it does clog frequently. Sometimes the beans "bridge" and don't drop in mid grind. No way of telling how much you need to grind once you get the beans loose. Would not buy again, ever.
