Initially available in Black, French Vanilla and Hot Chocolate, the coffee (made from 100% Arabica beans) is served in aluminum cans (made of 70% recycled content) that are warmed to 140 degrees
HOTSHOT®, a company that got an initial jolt from an appearance on ABC's Shark Tank, is bringing HOT canned coffee to caffeine deprived consumers.
HOT coffee in a ready-to-drink can is not a new concept -- in fact in Japan, it is a $15B industry. Entrepreneur Danny Grossfeld was on a trip to Japan when he reached into what he thought was a cooler to grab a can of iced coffee. Much to his surprise, the can was HOT-- and ready to drink. Grossfeld launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring a version of the Japanese product to US consumers, which caught the eye of Shark Tank producers.
