Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-we-just-thought-flavia-was-cool dept.

prostoalex writes "In 2005 Wolfgang Puck will start selling containers of self-heating coffee, USA Today says. The combination of calcium oxide and water will heat the coffee to 145 degrees and keep it warm for the next 30 minutes. The coffee will be sold in regular grocery stores, and folks at Fool.com tell Starbucks to watch out as this product, coming from a well-known chef, might target those of us grabbing a cup of hot latte on the way to work."

    Insightful.

    If you want good coffee, you can probably find a roaster nearby. Or your grocery store will sell a slew of "gormet" coffees.

    Absolutly, especially with the exchange rates at the moment (almost 2USD to the pound). I read an article in the paper the other day that concluded it cost about the same to fly from London to New York for the weekend and do all of your xmas shopping there as it would to buy all your shopping on the British high street, and you get to spend the weekend in New York.
