So i've got a container that is pretty much useless with no lid, but there's no way i can get a replacement lid. Any ideas on what to do with the container other than throwing it out?
They make stretchy plastic lids that fit a variety of sized containers.

hmm, never seen anything like that in supermarkets here. Is it airtight?
buy a new container

Put on some tin foil or some plastic wrap

That won't make it airtight, nor is it a good solution for a container you want to regularly open.

Tinfoil will keep a pack of coffee powder fresh for at least a week.
Plastic wrap is airtight, and can be taken off and made airtight again.
Also you will have a whole fucking roll of plastic wrap so can rewrap everytime you make a can of coffee.
