Talking Check this out?

So I was watching Numbers and they had something pretty interesting on it. They had stuck a chemical weapon inside a coffee can that heats up by itself. So I decided to google it to see if they was an validity to it. Well, there is. Here is the excerpt from the article:

David Cooper sent us a one of each of the 4 new Wolfgang Puck Instant Hot Lattes to try. We first covered this cool new single serve coffee idea earlier in the year. Each of the lattes come in a unique self heating can which heats to over 140 degrees F in just under 6 minutes to give you a very portable instant hot latte. We think you can't get more single serve coffee than a instant heating can with a yummy latte located inside.

And here is the link:

I'll probably go out tonight and get some.

Hope you enjoy.

Tom

Yeah, saw that it's been out since June. But it's the first I had heard of it. Guess I'm just getting old. Guess I'm not to hip to the new stuff.

They've had self-heating soups in Japan in vending machines for over a decade, haven't they?

Sorry but any coffee/latte/espresso that comes out of a machine can't be good in flavor. In order to get the true flavor of the beans to come out and not burnt, it needs to be grinded to a certain grind, put in a porter filter, and filtered for 22-31 seconds (dependent on the grind and bean itself). I'm not gonna get into a rant about how coffee houses in this area suck ass so we'll stop here.

Please do. I want to know where to get GOOD coffee.
Peet's in SF was pretty damned good. Especially compared to the over-roasted swill Starbucks sells.
