Are canisters for tea coffee and sugar old fashioned? Not sure whether to replace mine or what alternatives are out there.
What do you use?

Coffee is in a kilner jar in the fridge. Tea is in a vintage tea tin in the cupboard. We don't really use sugar so it's in a paper bag in the baking cupboard and gets decanted into a ramekin if we have guests who use it. Fruit and herb teas are just in their packaging in the cupboard.

It took me ages to find some I liked. I finally bought some of these by David Chipperfield

I love my tins! For my various herbal teas. I found the non-branded ones on amazon. The designer is Sara Miller.

We use some IKEA clear glass jars with attached lid & metal fastening

Ooh DontBuy I've got a set of those too - I might list them on eBay! I really hope nobody would be stupid enough to pay that BTW.

I’ve gone for a bit of a twee kitsch vibe in my kitchen so have these (originally from Asda and not that expensive). Definitely not everyone’s taste but I love them! We also have a pink pig utensil holder and I’m on the lookout for a ceramic hen egg holder.

Cute!

We have big glass jars with seal tight clips for tea, sugar and coffee beans. Store excess in containers or bags in the cupboard

We did have tins but didn't seem as fresh or look as nice as the jars we use now

@MargotLovedTom1 fortunately no! I didn't get them from this seller and they were £12 including postage.
