Well, just continue using those jars for coffee... I've been using the
same cannister for storing coffee for more than ten years, no problem.

Solution couldn't be simpler, do what canners do, use a fresh rubber
as necessary. I have cannisters with silicone gaskets, they absorb
odors too. I don't use the coffee cannister for storing tea, or rice,
or pasta, etc. Amazon sells new gaskets for those jars rather
inexpensively... I'd use different gaskets for storing different
products. What you're doing by reusing the same gasket for different
products is like when you were in high school and went to the drive-in
with Marge and another couple and whispered to your buddy in the back
seat with his girl Roxanne, psst Joey, when yoose two are done pass me
your condom, I was too cheap to buy any. lol
