coffee canister

Grounds keeper jar

A coffee canister is a container designed to store coffee beans or grounds, typically airtight to preserve freshness.

Most are cylindrical with sealed lids, made of metal, ceramic, or opaque materials that block light: She scooped beans from the coffee canister each morning.

The term applies to both countertop storage containers and the original packaging from roasters.
