Wolfgang Puck tried to ket one last year, based on a WWII k ration
technology, but had problems with melting cans when the heating tab
was pulled. I think he got it off the shelves before there were any
molten hands.
There's enough of a ket for hot vended foods (soups, burritos,
etc), that I doubt self heating cans will be the answer. I'm guessing
vending machines with built in microwave ovens and standardised
packaging that works with it.

And that Wolfgang Puck stuff tasted HORRIBLE. Even my DH, who will
eat/drink anything, made a face and threw it out.

Microwaves are tough because you can't have any metal or foil in the
packaging. You also have to vent the package or pressure will build up and
you'd have to control the length of heating for each item or make everthing
in a size that would take the same amount of time to heat. And the customer
has to wait while the item heats- not conducive to impulse purchase or high
volume.
It's probably easier just to build an insulated cabinet and keep everything
inside hot with conventional heating elements.

In Japan they've had vending machines that dispense hot coffee drinks in
cans for years. Decades, actually. Just make sure your aim is good and

I remember maybe 8 or 9 years ago that Nestle appeared in Harvard
Square passing out cans of coffeeoid beverage (cold, not hot) and
soliciting opinions. I don't think they liked what they heard. The
cans disappeared after a week or so.

Hot canned coffee dispensed from vending machines is a popular concept in
Japan. Then again the Japanese love to buy things from vending machines
(including things that would never be sold from a machine in the West -
beer, kerosene, porn, etc.) and canned coffee in general is a major
category in Japan , so it's not clear that this concept would travel. IIRC
the Wolgang Puck self heating coffee can was a flop - for some reason canned
coffee doesn't resonate with Americans but maybe if the taste did not suck
(by mass ket standards, not alt.coffee standards) and the price was
competitive it would have a chance. I'm not sure that its really possible to
produce a canned coffee whose taste compares favorably even to what you'd
get at a Starbucks.
The espresso at Starbucks is not good? I'm shocked! I've never heard this
before. Thanks for letting us know. I'm sure this news wil surely spell the
end of Starbucks.

Actually I liked the canned coffee in Japan. In the winter you buy
two of them and they keep your pockets real warm. :) It was either
that or sake.
The only brand I did enjoy was called Georgia Coffee Original. Oddly
enough, made by CocaCola.
