Ever skipped out on your morning coffee because the line at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts was too long? While mobile ordering hopes to cut down on lines and wait time, Hotshot Coffee has presented a new solution: "Grab and Go" premium hot coffee that comes in an aluminum can. 

Canned beverages seem to be somewhat of a trend, beginning with drinks like wine in a can and Air, an alcoholic refresher. But both of these beverages are meant to be consumed after being refrigerated, or at least drank at room temperature—not piping hot like Hotshot's canned coffee. Hotshot is ready to launch in the U.S. after a successful Kickstarter campaign, and a well-received appearance on Shark Tank. The founder of the company got his idea from a similar product that's been a staple in Japan for years, and has adapted Hotshot to American tastes and standards.

So how does it work? The cans used are made from 70% recycled material, and the labels on each one actually serve as insulation to keep your drink hot. To heat up your coffee, you'll need the custom designed "Hot Box," a kind of hot-fridge lunch box, which will heat your coffee to 140 degrees. It takes an hour and a half for the coffee to get to this temperature, so you're supposed to always keep the Hot Box full at it's nine-can capacity. 

Several different varieties of Hotshot drinks are available for pre-order, including French Vanilla, Hot Chocolate, and Caramel Frappe, as well as black coffee and espresso. Though it can't be the same as a made-to-order soy latte or flat white, Hotshot's flavors do sound pretty tasty. They're hoping to offer an even wider selection in the future, including drinks like green tea and apple cider.

The starter kit comes with a Hot Box (your choice of three different colors) and a variety pack of 12 coffee cans, now available for pre-order. Coming in at $69.99, right around the price of a Keurig, you won't have to shell out an arm and a leg for a taste of new coffee technology. If you'd rather stick to your home brewing methods, you can make a tech-y upgrade with this smartphone controlled coffee mug. Either way, you won't have any trouble getting your caffeine fix.
