FWIW, it works "okay" if using a foodsaver with the mason jar attachment.  It takes 4 or 5 vacuums to get it, though, since the foam rises up the jar.  I also use the mason jar attachment to quick pickle things like cucumbers, onions, and radishes.  Works great for those.

 

edit: "it" being pulling vacuum on blender foam

I bought the elusive and rarely sold in Canada food saver mason jar attachment for this purpose. It plugs into my polyscience machine but I find it really finnicky to attach to the mason jars

 

Maybe I just need to try more cycles. I find the first cycle or two often creates more foam for me. For some reason I only get a satisfying result when I use a bag and have the seal function on. I find this oddly happens with pickling/compressing too (foods aren't compressing). I am using 500ml round deli style containers, trying to both de-aerate as well as quick pickle in them
