A lid configured to cover the base, and an insert removeably disposable in the base such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the insert contacts the wall of the base. The insert including a first hole that extends through a top of the insert so as to define a first receptacle. The insert including a second hole that extends through the top of the insert proximate to an outside perimeter of the insert to define a second receptacle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A container system, comprising: a base including a bottom surface and a wall arranged around a perimeter of the bottom surface; a lid configured to cover the base; a first insert fixed in the base such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the first insert contacts the wall of the base, the first insert including a first hole that extends through a top of the first insert so as to define a first receptacle; and a second insert removeably disposable in the first receptacle of the first insert proximate to a top of the first receptacle such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the second insert contacts a portion of a wall of the first insert, the second insert including a second hole that extends through a top of the second insert so as to define a second receptacle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein, in a closed position, the lid seals the first receptacle. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein, in a closed position, the lid seals the second receptacle. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, further comprising a grinder mechanism removeably disposable in the second receptacle proximate to a top of the second insert. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein the second hole extends through the top of the second insert proximate to a center of the second insert so as to define the second receptacle, and the second insert further including a third hole that extends through the top of the second insert proximate to an outside perimeter of the second insert so as to define a third receptacle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, further comprising a gasket disposed on the base for sealing the first receptacle or the second receptacle. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein the lid rotatably couples to the first insert. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein the lid rotatably couples to the second insert. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein the lid rotatably couples to the first insert and to the second insert. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The container system of claim 1, wherein the base is formed of metal, and the first insert is formed of plastic or the second insert is formed of plastic. ### Claim 11 An improvement for a container system including a base and a lid, the improvement for the container system comprising: a first insert fixed in the base such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the first insert contacts a wall of the base, the first insert including a first hole that extends through a top of the first insert so as to define a first receptacle; and a second insert removeably disposable in the first receptacle of the first insert proximate to a top of the first receptacle such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the second insert contacts a portion of a wall of the first insert, the second insert including a second hole that extends through a top of the second insert so as to define a second receptacle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The improvement for the container system of claim 11, further comprising a grinder mechanism removeably disposable in the second receptacle proximate to a top of the second insert. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The improvement for the container system of claim 11, wherein the second hole extends through the top of the second insert proximate to a center of the second insert so as to define the second receptacle, and the second insert further including a third hole that extends through the top of the second insert proximate to an outside perimeter of the second insert so as to define a third receptacle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The improvement for the container system of claim 13, wherein the base is formed of metal, and the first insert is formed of plastic or the second insert is formed of plastic. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The improvement for the container system of claim 11, wherein when the first insert is fixed in the base and the second insert is removeably disposed in the first receptacle of the first insert, and the lid is in a closed position, the lid seals the first receptacle and the second receptacle. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The improvement for the container system of claim 11, wherein the first insert further includes a cavity disposed in a bottom of the first insert and arranged with the first receptacle, the cavity containing a desiccant for controlling a humidity of the first receptacle or the second receptacle. ### Claim 17 A container system, comprising: a base including a bottom surface and a wall arranged around a perimeter of the bottom surface; a lid configured to cover the base; an insert removeably disposable in the base such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the insert contacts the wall of the base, the insert including: a first hole that extends through a top of the insert proximate to a center of the insert so as to define a first receptacle; and a second hole that extends through the top of the insert proximate to an outside perimeter of the insert so as to define a second receptacle. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The container system of claim 17, further comprising a grinder mechanism removeably disposable in the first receptacle proximate to a top of the insert. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The container system of claim 17, wherein when the insert is removeably disposed in the base, and the lid is in a closed position, the lid seals the first receptacle and the second receptacle. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The container system of claim 17, further comprising a cover attached to a bottom of the insert, the cover containing a desiccant for controlling a humidity of the first receptacle or the second receptacle.
