Self-Heating Coffee

I am busy drinking Self-Heating coffee, and thought it would be appropriate to post about it on Nerdgasm.

It seems to use a reaction between calcium oxide and water to heat the tin up. I am not big into chemistry, but I remember learning in High School that a reaction will either require heat, or create heat, so using a chemical reaction to heat the coffee up does make a lot of sense to me. If you want more information of calcium oxide (quicklime) I will refer you to Wikipedia.

I tasted it before reading the ingredients at the back of the tin, and right away tasted that it was instant coffee with sugar. I do not add any milk or sugar to coffee when I drink it, and I am not a big fan of instant coffee, so this was a little disappointing, but I am still in love with the idea.

INGREDIENTS:

Water, sugar and instant coffee (1%).

There is a web address on the tin (http://www.fastdrinks2go.com/).

The website has music playing, which I don't like. Opening a website that had music is generally a sure way for me to close it again without reading anything.
