Using the Brit portion of my flist as a thesaurus
Mostly I trust my British vocabulary, but (a) sometimes it matters that it's 30 years out of date, and (b) some things just aren't in the purview of a 7-to-10-year-old.
So, what does coffee come in when you buy it in a shop to make at home? Over here it's a can, but it's a really large can, and the cylindrical portion isn't always metal. So it doesn't seem like it should be called a tin. (Also, this is assuming automatic drip machines as the most common method of making the stuff at home; let me know if that's a faulty assumption?) And some brands come in plastic jars/canisters now.
Ta in advance!
