It’s my impression that the coffee is stored cold and only heated up when you order it…?

- ETH_start 3y agoI've checked and it is not stored cold. It's stored hot so it that it can be immediately dispensed. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
- keiferski 3y agoInteresting, yes I can see why that might be a health issue. But these things have been around for decades now, so presumably they’ve solved this problem. Edit: I found this: IH vending machines This is a type of vending machine equipped with Induction Heating. They store canned beverages at normal room temperature (or lower temperature) on standby and rapidly heat up a selected drink during the process of dispensing. It is possible to raise the heat up to 140 degrees or so in less than one minute in the case of a 250 ml can. https://www.japanesewiki.com/culture/Canned%20Coffee.html https://www.japanesewiki.com/culture/Canned%20Coffee.html
