KitchenCraft Living Nostalgia Coffee Canister, 500 ml, Antique Cream Steel
Product description
If you want coffee beans or granules stored on the worktop rather than left in their packaging, this KitchenCraft Living Nostalgia canister is designed for that everyday job. Its front is labelled ‘COFFEE’, so the contents are easy to identify.
The 500 ml container has a square footprint intended to make efficient use of worktop space. Its antique cream finish and vintage-style look are as much a part of the design as its storage function.
The lid is described as tight-fitting to help keep coffee fresh for longer, but buyer feedback on its fit and ease of opening is mixed. Is the vintage look worth accepting a lid that some people find awkward?
Quick sizing guide
At 500 ml, this is a compact container for keeping a supply of coffee beans or granules close to hand. The product name gives its size as 11 x 17 cm, while the square shape is intended to take up less worktop space than a broader container. Think about where it will sit and how much coffee you want readily accessible, the stated capacity is a useful guide, but the listing does not give a recommended amount of coffee to store.
Strengths
The clear ‘COFFEE’ label makes the tin easy to distinguish from other kitchen storage, and the steel construction gives it a more substantial feel than leaving coffee in an open packet. A snap closure and tight-fitting lid are intended to make everyday access straightforward while helping to keep the contents fresh for longer. The product also has a riveted steel handle, as described in the product details.
Its antique cream colour is designed to suit both modern and traditional kitchens, and it can sit alongside matching tea and sugar tins from the Living Nostalgia collection. Those matching tins are mentioned as additions to the set, not as included contents. Buyers praise the vintage appearance and colour, while feedback on functionality is less consistent: some say it does the job, whereas others find the lid difficult to open or report that it does not fit well. That practical concern matters if the canister will be opened frequently.

Questions before you buy
What can it store? It is intended for coffee beans and granules. The front label identifies it specifically as a coffee tin.
Does the lid make it airtight? The product details describe a tight-fitting lid intended to keep coffee fresh for longer, but do not specify an airtight seal. Buyer comments also raise concerns about the lid’s fit and how difficult it can be to remove.
Are matching tea and sugar tins included? The canister is presented as a coffee storage tin. Matching tea and sugar tins are mentioned as a way to complete the collection, so they should not be assumed to be part of this item.
When it makes sense
A solid pick if you want a labelled, vintage-style steel canister for a modest amount of coffee and value keeping it visible and easy to identify. Compared with storing coffee in its original packet, it offers a dedicated container and a tidier square footprint, compared with a more functional-looking storage option, its appeal is clearly tied to the antique cream finish and coordinated collection. It might not be a great match if you need a lid that buyers consistently find easy to open and reliably fitting, as feedback on those points is mixed.
