Coffee Can and Gourmet Latte?

Starting in January of 2007, there will be yet another product on the market that will save people an extra few moments in the mornings. If you’re one who likes to sleep in for an extra few moments, that concept might sound enticing. What is this new product? For those coffee addicts out there who simply cannot walk out of their house in the mornings without a cup of coffee, you’ll find a new type of coffee can that will actually heat itself. Yes, you did hear that correctly. Wherever you can find a coffee can of Wolfgang Puck gourmet latte is where you can get your hands on this new technology. Supposedly, it takes six minutes to heat the coffee and it will stay warm for thirty minutes after it is heated. Pretty interesting, if you ask me.

This new coffee can is only a single serving and will sell for around $2.25. That’s quite expensive for a single cup of coffee, yet cheaper than some people pay each day. However, whenever new technology involves saving people some time and energy, it doesn’t seem to matter what the cost is. People are willing to pay for convenience and quite a few companies have cashed in on that concept. Plus, not only will this be a major convenience, think about all of the clean-up time it’ll be saving you. There won’t be a dirty coffee pot that has to be washed anymore. You can take the small coffeecan and toss it when you’re done. No mess, no fuss – just convenient coffee. While the coffee can is supposed to be recyclable, let’s just hope that people do plan to recycle.

Coffee Can and Technology

I have to wonder what this new coffee can invention could do for other items in the food industry. Will soup manufacturers come up with a similar concept? What about people who don’t drink coffee but wish that their hot tea would have the same convenience? This new coffeecan that could very easily flop, or become a huge overnight hit, could very well end up changing the way that people start their mornings or commutes. I personally don’t find myself too lazy to make myself a cup of coffee in the mornings. It is part of the ritual that I perform when I’m still waking up. But, when you tell me that I can sleep an extra few moments and simply push a little button to have instant coffee without the preparation time, I’m game. I have a feeling quite a few people will agree with me. I’m just not sure that I want to spend $2.25 a day for that. The grand total for an entire week of coffee would be $15.75. Ouch. That’s $63.00 a month just to have a single serving of coffee every day. Something to think about.
