a nice thermos seems a far better idea for keeping things warm. Not to mention it's wireless and easier to carry around.

Mmmmm...thermos. I feel like some hot tea now.

Tea, why didn't I think of that?!
I agree a thmos is a much better idea, everything is better when it's wireless (I feel the need to make a fertility joke about radiation and heat, but I see no way of making it funny). Still I don't think I've ever run across tea in a can that wasn't meant to be drank cold (Iced Tea, as those in the know are calling it) although widespread adoption of this and similar devices could change that (It seems I've fallen into a cyclical hole, Oh dear!)

Again, please realize that this device was made in Japan, which has various coffees and teas (milk teas, herbal teas, green teas) available in cans which can be served warm. In fact, many Asian 7-eleven's have warming cabinets (er..think of the opposite of a fridge) which allow customers to pick up a warm can in the morning.

@yelohbird

'Warm' has to be the understatement of this still very young century. On our trip to japan, I grabbed a coffee from a vending machine in Nakameguro, and it scalded my hand! I wonder if this can even heat up to those temperatures?
