Description
These storage tins come as a pair, each printed with a vintage coffee label that looks lifted from an old grocer's shelf. One is a warm mustard yellow with bold red bands, its label reading Barista Coffee, Hand Roasted, Medium Blend. The other is a soft teal green with a cream Morning Brew script and Roasted Coffee beneath it. Both are made from tin, with ridged sides like a classic coffee can, open tops and a gold-toned inside that catches the light. We sell the set in two sizes, Mini and Medium. In the Medium set the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is about 10cm across and 12cm tall, so the pair sits together with a pleasing step in height.
Because they are open-topped, they suit anything you want to reach for quickly. In the kitchen, a Medium pair keeps wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks upright on the worktop, or holds teaspoons and measuring spoons beside the kettle. On a desk they gather pens, pencils and scissors, and in a craft corner they tidy paintbrushes and crochet hooks. The Mini set suits smaller things such as hair clips, paper clips, buttons and spare keys. Their retro colours sit happily on an open shelf or a dresser, in a cottage kitchen or a bright modern one.
Tin keeps them light and easy to move about, and the rolled rims give each one a neat, finished edge. Keep them dry, wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry them straight away. Skip scouring pads, which could scratch the printed label. They make an easy present filled with new pens or a few favourite kitchen tools. On the shelf we like the two side by side, yellow beside green, with both labels facing the room.

Frequently Asked
What sizes do these storage tins come in?
We sell the pair in two sizes, Mini and Medium. In the Medium set the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
What are the tins made of?
Both tins are made from tin. They have ridged sides like a classic coffee can and a gold-toned finish on the inside.
Do the tins have lids?
They are open-topped pots with rolled rims, made for keeping spoons, pens and other everyday things upright and close at hand rather than sealed away.
What colours are the two tins?
One tin is mustard yellow with red bands and a Barista Coffee label. The other is teal green with a cream Morning Brew label.
Are both tins the same design?
No, the pair carries two different vintage coffee labels: Barista on the yellow tin and Morning Brew on the green one. That way they look good side by side.
How should I clean the storage tins?
Wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry them straight away. Avoid scouring pads, which could scratch the printed labels on the tin.
