Canned Coffee
Posted on October 10, 2005
I have fond memories of my first canned coffee shortly after arriving in Japan. My mother-in-law stocked the fridge with a few cans of Georgia Emerald Mountain Blend, and not long after she noticed I took a liking to it a case appeared above the laundry machine. Brewing a pot of coffee should not be on any sane persons to-do list during a hot Japanese summer afternoon, so those cold cans of Georgia, along with Mild Sevens, became close, close friends that summer. I had an on-again off-again relationship with the stuff. On when a newly designed can or brand showed up in stores and vending machines, and off when my body started sending me those little tell-tale signs that if I kept consuming the coffee-flavoured beverage bad stuff would follow.
By far the best, and only place to my knowledge for can coffee reviews can be found in Kuhaku and in the Chin Music Press blog Coffee Mondays. Now Chin Music Press brings us Canned Coffee.
"Coffee and literature have always made quite a team. There's nothing like opening a good book in your favorite cafe, a steaming cup of coffee by your side. But canned coffee and literature is downright lethal. It's headache-inducing and desperate. Cannedcoffee.com is the urban response to cowboy poetry, a prose inspired by Japan's multicolored vending machines full of hot and cold coffee cans."
They've got posters, an e-book, and most importantly an all-in-one RSS feed.
