Apparently coffee was in need of a jolt of high tech inspiration. Starting in just a few weeks you'll be able to buy a product that most of you probably never thought was necessary at all: a single serving can of coffee that heats itself. The idea is that you buy the can, and when you're ready to drink it, you push a button, and it heats itself up. No batteries or electricity needed. Just push the button, let the calcium oxide (yum!) mix with water, and voila, you have a steaming hot cup of joe. Who knew that heating up water was too difficult? "
