Storage & Containers

An open bag of coffee loses its aroma after three days. An opened packet of oatmeal absorbs slight moisture within a few weeks. Spices in their original bag lose half their potency after six months. A tight-sealing storage jar is not just decoration—it's an extension of the shelf life of what's stored inside.

And incidentally: An open shelf with ceramic or glass jars simply looks better in the kitchen than a shelf full of packets. That's the silent return on proper storage.

Eva Solo from Denmark

Eva Solo's storage line follows the Scandinavian design rule: a clear, calm form that works in many households. Ceramic jars with silicone seals, aroma coffee jars with valves, glass containers for baking ingredients, storage jars with vacuum seals. The colors are white, graphite, and terracotta; the material is easy to clean and dishwasher-safe.

What a well-stocked pantry contains

• Coffee jars with aroma valves — for freshly roasted beans, airtight.
• Spice jars & containers — small units, transparent or labeled.
• Storage jars for muesli, oatmeal, nuts — larger, stackable format.
• Bread boxes — with a wooden lid that also serves as a cutting board.
• Fresh-keeping containers for the refrigerator — glass or ceramic, suitable for tabletop use.

What really matters: Airtight doesn't just mean "tightly closed." A good container has a soft silicone seal around the rim that compresses when closed. If the lid makes a slight sucking sound when opened (like vacuum packaging), the container is truly sealed. And only then will the coffee still have almost the same aroma after six weeks as it did on the first day.
