    Do you guys not have this yet in the USA? The Nescafe coffee company have release self heating cans over here.

    Quite heavy, and have some kind of chemical chamber in the middle of the can. You turn it upside down, press a button in the middle, and shake untill the button pops back out. Wait for 3 minutes, and open the can - hey presto, hot coffee. And whilst it doesnt taste *amazing*, its still quite drinkable if you want a hot drink.

    Pretty expensive too though..
