Vacuum packed coffee and the hiss that isn’t
An article explains why vacuum packed coffee in glass jars lacks the hiss of cans. It notes that opening a can releases a jet of aroma from a pinhole seal, while jar openings emit aroma around the rim. Hills Bros. began vacuum packing in 1900 and later used glass jars due to wartime metal shortages.
