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."

    Remember, it's for the American market where brown water qualifies as coffee. Disclaimer: I was once banned from making coffee in the office because I made it too strong for anybody else so I might be biased.

    I'm American, and I agree with you. Most people here have no idea what coffee is supposed to taste like. However, there is a growing number of us figuring it out. :)
