Talk:Canned coffee

What's a safe way to heat the cans up without them exploding? Or less importantly, how do the vending machines heat the cans and to what temperature? 216.212.102.185 21:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Heat it up? I pour it into a coffee mug : ) Hey - this is a wonderful, well written, informative article. Bravo! I freekin' LOVE WikiPedia ! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rberlow (talk • contribs) 18:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC).

It's not really hot, just warmed slightly. I had some in September which in Japan is a pleasantly warm month, it must have just been put in the machine. In the real winter it's probably pleasant though. 86.142.170.125 (talk) 16:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Should it be noted that there are a few types of American canned coffee energy drinks? Star Bucks and Monster have some, and I think there are other companies as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.180.53 (talk) 14:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, there are places other than Japan that produce canned coffee ... Taiwan's Mr. Brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Brown_Coffee) and as the above poster mentioned, Starbucks among others. (http://www.sheknows.com/articles/809645) This article needs some updating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanenosuke (talk • contribs) 05:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Starbucks Double Shot is a kind of canned milky coffee which has just been launched in the UK. Just in time for me to return from my holiday to Japan lamenting the lack of "Boss White" (Boss Cafe Au Lait really but i've taken to calling it White... also doesn't the "Boss" look like Stalin?). Canned Coffee may well the the reason Japanese companies are so sucessful XD (well somehow the companies are wildly sucessful but the country isn't). Who knows it may save Britain's economy!86.142.170.125 (talk) 16:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

My latest mepiphany is that canned coffee should be called "Jappuccino" from now on. S* (talk) 11:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC) Scott Graham, Ottawa (Canada) 2010.09.29

I'd be interested to know why Japanese canned coffee is almost exclusively distributed in *steel* cans, as the article correctly points out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.36.179.50 (talk) 03:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Word History

The article currently describes 缶コーヒー (kan ko-hi-) as wasei-eigo, or Japanese words created from borrowed English ones, but this doesn't seem entirely correct to me. コーヒー appears to of Dutch origin, and 缶 is ateji for either Dutch or English, though is a simplified form of a kanji already denoting a vessel for holding liquid, which seems to make its categorization rather complicated. Perhaps someone with more linguistics knowledge than myself could properly describe the term better.126.64.113.50 (talk) 06:06, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Nobody says "can coffee" in English. That sounds like coffee made of cans. Thus the article title of "Canned coffee" and why "can coffee" is wasei-eigo. Nesnad (talk) 16:17, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Kan-KoHee （缶コーヒー, not Can Coffee） is a Japanese word (shortened "Kan-Iri Kohee"). Not a wasei-eigo. Wasei-Eigo is an English-looking word created or arranged by Japanese: Viking (all-you-can-eat, Buffet), Take-Out (to go), Cost Down (cost reduction), Winker (blinker, flasher), Nighter or Niter (night games)....

This article shouldn't be just about Japanese canned coffee

Canned coffee now spans a multitude of brands around the world, most notably Starbucks and UCC, among many others. This article should be more definitive than in regard to just Japanese culture, although it should still respect it as being invented in Japan. Katabatic03 (talk) 23:48, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

You really think Wikipedia editors have time for that? They have a huge backlog of other people's hard work to delete. You're gonna have to do it yourself, assuming it doesn't get deleted..... Snitch ninja (talk) 08:19, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I have since come back to this and I think I will try to contribute more then. Katabatic03 ^talk 00:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

I wonder if it would be possible to just scalp the Japanese version of the page? That one is much more neutral and writes of coffee as just being a canned drink. This page reads very fetishistic as it is. It's coffee in a can, not an important cultural landmark. ZachariahGrumbles (talk) 21:57, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
