hot stuff!


The newest thing in coffee drinks:
Wolfgang Puck's self-heating lattes. "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. The technology to create a self heating can took 7 years, and over 24 million dollars and was developed by OnTech. The OnTech self-heating container is built from two main parts: the container and the actuating "puck" (how appropriate). The container is composed of an inner cone that holds the mineral (Calcium Oxide), and the outer container body, which holds the beverage product." (from singleserve.com)
I am a little bit torn about these. On one hand, I think "hot coffee, yeahhhh", and then I think "more crap for the landfill, boooooooo". I myself havent tried one yet, but my boss has been raving, and he thinks they are recyclable since they do have a deposit on them . . . I wonder if they will impact DunkinDonut's styrafoam stylin' coffee . . .
