Packaging for a can containing ground roasted coffee packed under atmospheric pressure and having a flexible peel-off lid which is vented to allow the escape of a buildup of carbon dioxide gases. A spacing structure prevents the vent valve in the lid from being closed by contact with the plastic overcap. The spacing structure may include bosses on the overcap which engage the vent valve or a pocket in the overcap which allows the flexible lid to reach a maximum height without engaging the overcap. A permanently opened passageway may be provided between the plastic overcap and the rim of the can to further facilitate the escape of carbon dioxide.
