     12/11/09 - Cafe2Go The Self-Heating Beverage Kit was featured in the December 2009 issue of Beverage Industry magazine.  Beverage Industry is considered to be America’s leading beverage publication, and we're proud that Cafe2Go was included in the article "Spilling the Beans."

     The article focuses on new innovations and concepts in the coffee industry following an emerging consumer trend.  Consumers are drinking more coffee at home, and away from expensive coffee shops.  "The trend is occurring due to the recession," writes Stefanie Scott, "which has caused thrifty consumers to think twice about spending on higher-priced coffee-shop coffees."

     In the article, Scott lists several new coffee products that have been recently introduced, including Cafe2Go.  "A little off the traditional ground coffee track," she writes, "Cincinnati-based HeaterMeals introduced Café2Go, a self-heating beverage kit."  Scott describes how Cafe2Go was originally designed for the military, but is now

available to emergency response professionals, police & fire fighters, and consumers.  "The kits come with a patented beverage heater, brand name coffee, tea and cocoa products by Nescafé, cups, sugar and creamers. No refrigeration is required and the product’s shelf-life is up to 18 months."

     An abreviated version of the article, which includes the section about Cafe2Go, is below.
