Isnt this simply cool?

A Starbucks Coffee Vending Machine, coming to a College or Workplace near you ... thats if you're living in North America, that is.

While not a HUGE fan of starbucks and certainly not one of vending machines, I think this is HOLY NEWS to many Starbucks fans out there...

And talknig about Vending Machines, I know God Loves me LOADS :- Was contemplating if I should spend US$1.25 on a mineral water during my 11pm-7am security shift when I gave in to thirst and so proceeded to a vending machine for it.

After placing my order, I realized that TWO bottles were available for pick up. WOW. Whats more- instead of "simply" two mineral water bottles, one was a PEPSI and the other, my beloved drink

Try beating that

Through research and product testing, Starbucks and PepsiCo learned that the common complaints about existing coffee vending included lack of consistent, high-quality coffee, as well as issues with messy and hot-to-hold cups. To tackle these obstacles, Starbucks and PepsiCo developed this revolutionary approach to hot coffee vending. With a simple swipe of a payment card (or with cash), a high-quality, hot latte or hot cocoa is served up in a ready-to-drink package in less than a minute. Utilizing proprietary packaging, each hot beverage will come in a convenient 9-fluid-ounce recyclable steel can with an insulating label, designed to keep the beverage warm, enjoyable, and still comfortable to the touch.

A key part of this solution is the proprietary heat-on-demand technology which has been under development for some time. Given the manner in which Starbucks has protected its franchise over the years in all channels of trade, it's a good bet they know what they are doing. The coffee service industry begged Starbucks for years to authorize a coffee service product, and the company was very careful and methodical about accommodating them due to quality control concerns.
