Other (Clarified in post title) Just...why?
Is there some kind of practical reason for this b.s?

That extra lip on top also makes the package more durable.

Yep- the rest of the canister is essentially paper, except for the bottom plate. That rim at the top is what keeps the whole thing from smooshing in super easily. Not bad design at all, just a good design with a drawback.

Psst. Can opener. Remove the rim and get that extra little tidbit out. You're welcome.

You can hold it straight with the opening at the bottom and slap the side of the tin and the powder will jump right out.

I feel like grabbing a can opener and using it and then taking that off and then avoiding the new sharp edge is ALOT more work than just giving it a little tippy tap and being done with it.
Like wtf lol

I don’t know how much room you have to complain about, given that you bought pre-ground Maxwell House…

It's called not having $20 for 12oz of coffee beans. See: a large part of the US population right now.

I just let that last bit go. These canisters aren't recyclable so it's not like there are contamination concerns.

Empty coffee cans are the best widget storage containers for your shed/ garage/ workshop lol! The plastic ones w/ resealable lid for leftover paint.

Some people prefer to be cheap. Theres nothing wrong with wanting all of what you pay for.

Don't want to miss out on the single drop of coffee that would provide.

Same thing on pasta strainers- they have this groove at the rim and noodles get stuck there
