Received a can of illy as a present a while ago. There are plenty of discussions on illy beans, so won't go into that here. I do like the container though :-) Just wondering what others do with the empty container? A waste throwing it away... This is what I do. (Click for larger image)

I store my home roast in them. The cans seem to be vented to let the gas escape.

I use them to store random bits of things in my workshop. Good size.

I store my home roast in them. The lids are glossy, so you can write on them with a transparency marker. Very nice and dishwasher safe!

I turn them into knockboxes, albeit smallish ones. I'll post a pic later.
