How do you feel about canned coffee?

[Anonymous No.19264357]

It's alright

[Anonymous No.19264364]

>>19264352
It's impossible to find a can of coffee that's less sugar than coffee. I seriously don't understand why there isn't a single unsweetened coffee can brand.

I grew to enjoy it when I lived in glorious nippon where it is cheap and plentiful. I am now cruelly taunted in America where it is violently expensive for no fucking reason.
That said, the thing I miss most is koiwai coffee milk.

I don't know that I'd say Japanese canned coffee tastes any better, my point was that it is much cheaper than in the US.
Like, imported Japanese canned coffee in the US costs as much as domestic canned coffee, because the base price of Japanese canned coffee is so much lower. So at that point, when I'm in store selling the imported stuff I may as well buy it anyway for the novelty.
If I could get US canned coffee for a dollar a pop I'd do that up.

Sadly it’s not enough of a thing in the states. It’s a novelty and often imported from Japan and is prohibitively expensive to have any more than occasionally as a novelty. With such an emphasis on fast food and processed on the go bullshit in this country it’s remarkable that there isn’t a company offering canned coffees at reasonable prices. It does seem extremely convenient for taking out hiking, on a picnic, at a beach or boat day, or even out grilling with an ice cold coffee in the cooler.

In the late 00's all the Japanese shops in AZ sold Boss for $1.25 to $1.75 and the other Jap brands for $1 at most. That dried up over night one year and I always wonder why. They went up to $3 a can for a month then disappeared.

I really really want to like it, but it's just not good.
You could pay $3 for an 8 oz can of really bitter / muddy / metallic tasting black motor oil. or you could just keep a jar of instant coffee granules at work and add it to water, and have the exact same experience for less than 10 cents.

i bet it's because there's fewer cafes in japan

whenever you see photos of japan there's plenty of food but very little that looks like a coffee shop where you can get a cup to go

in the west, coffee is everywhere so there's not much reason to can and sell prepared coffee

[Anonymous No.19265392]

>>19265292
I do not think that is why. I lived in a relatively small city that had cafes everywhere, from big chains to small independent places. This picture is from a train station / shopping mall with at least 6 cafes.
The reason is vending machines. There are vending machines everywhere, and all of them commonly have water, tea, and coffee pretty universally. Canned coffee is just a normal thing there. It should be in the US, too.

[Anonymous No.19265400]

>>19265392
>There are vending machines everywhere,
that explains it. in all my travels across canada and dipping into the US, vending machines seem to be a dying racket. even canned soft drinks seem rarer than bottled counterparts. in yurop vending machines that aren't cigarette vendors also seem fairly rare outside of places like train stations or airports.

though that did always strike me as odd, since vending machines have minimal overhead compared to an actual storefront, and you can plonk one in any little alcove. how do we bring back the vending machine, /biz/?

someone started importing boss coffee not too long ago. tried one and it was awful, don't remember which one I think it was the "americano" style with just water & coffee. Maybe the milk versions would be better but it costs a shitload as well. $4 AUD for a single 230ml can so fuck that, I'd rather just throw some cheap instant and milk powder into my milk frother/mixer then pour it over ice.

Have a racially homogeneous population that doesn't chimp out?

[Anonymous No.19265428]

>>19265416
>racially homogenous
hard disagree, a key advantage of the vending machine distributor is you can offer a diverse product set but not have to waste tons of space at actual consumer stock points. what would normally be a pallet's worth of wasted space on something only popular among chinks or niggers is redistributed to just one slot per machine, and the lack of actual storefront in favor of a pure warehouse even at the same square footage means space is less of a concern

>doesn't chimp out
we need to arm the vending machines

[Anonymous No.19265439]

>>19265400
Yeah, there are literally more vending machines than human beings in Japan.
In my 10 minute walk to work, I passed 11 vending machines. And then there were two more at work itself.
>>19265403
Its a café run by a brewing comps company. You can get breakfast combo with coffee for like 500円, or for like 300円 extra you can get a beer with breakfast.

[Anonymous No.19265454]

>>19265439
Update: no there aren't, I've been lied to. There are a shitload of vending machines though. You'll often see multiple lined up together, sometimes just on a random street.

Coffee from cafes in America is even more expensive than our prepackaged ones though.

Been there, tried it, I don't get the hype. I understand the historic and cultural reasons for it, but there's nothing appealing about it other than authenticity. Also the beignets just taste like funnel cake. The colored gents playing jazz on the street were nice, though.

If I'm out early in the morning and didn't have a chance to make coffee for whatever reason I might grab one of the less offensive flavors of like the Starbucks doubleshot things and it's fine, but I'm never drinking that shit for pleasure.

Doesn't really exist in Canada aside from Monster/ Starbucks energy coffee, a single premium online only brand, or the occasional mr.brown cans sometimes in the import aisle at a few grocery stores.

This guy got it. Japs have a fuck ton of cafes and annoying French wannabe euro shit with fancy pours. Normal ones too. Deserts and pastry. W.e. I think its just the vending machines. I don't get the serving size though. So small. Then again I'd watch construction guys burn a pack of seven stars and 6 cans in the span of 5 hours while I was there. Doesn't seem so cost effective at a point.
