I'd be looking for a large juice can or something similar.

On the other hand, the plastic Folgers containers are pretty good for
refrigerator storage instead of buying expensive plastic.

Beware coffee cans made with foil-laminated cardboard. They're no good
for cooking, not much good for storage, and as far as I know can't yet
be recycled. If you are looking for a metal coffee can, give it a
squeeze before buying.
