Twin Cities, MN. Far from you. The cans are nice because they are durable, easy to wipe clean, and have a valve on the bottom that accommodates out-gassing that occurs after roasting (lots of C02 in those beans). There are places that sell similar cans (maybe a little larger) for ~$4. I’m in the US. Twin Cities, MN. Far from you.

I'm looking for some right now. If you have any friends that roast coffee, they would probably love to have the cans. I’m looking for some right now.

Illy cans are surprisingly well-built! I've used them to store flour, spices, teas, and other long-term dry kitchen consumables. They keep things really fresh, and look pretty cool to boot.

Oh and by the way... did you know that eleven is the smallest positive integer requiring three syllables in English? Have fun!

Have fun!

We clean them, paint them, poke holes in the bottom for drainage, and plant flowers in them. Cheaper than buying pots and great for reycling the cans. Can also be resued the next year. Hope you liked the suggestion." - Pattie After reading through that I had an idea of my own: I’m thinking that one could expand this into a more elaborate shelving system that could take up a whole wall or something. Also, for added stability one could use a soldering iron to solder the lid to the bottom of the can so that you end up with small modules you can easily join together. Waiting for pictures :) Ok all, here’s what I found out:
