Probably not, from the ABC-website:

"Pressjar

The Compression Jar uses a piston and air valve to compress a ground material like coffee, driving air out of the jar and retaining as much freshness as possible."

"ground material like coffee"... doesnt sound good to me. Perhaps it can be used with whole beans though. Enjoy the show!

We waited with baited coffee breathe for The Inventors tonight. On came a "coffee lover" who stores ground supermarket stale coffee in a plastic air excluding jar that will cost $40 !!! to buy. Unreal.

Got to love a new toy :-/

Best and maybe only application is to take ground coffee to work to go with an Aeropress, Plunger etc. At least it is better being under pressure with minimal air rather than a partial vacuum.

I wont be buying one BTW
