We've often heard canned coffee fans talk about how cool it would be to have those hot-and-cold vending machines here in the States. We've even talked to companies that have tried to import them but found the cost prohibitive. Ryan Meinzer wants to bring together a coalition of canned coffee fans willing to bring a vending machine to the States, so we've turned over our canned coffee bully pulpit to him this week.

We have no idea what Ryan is up to. This could be a benevolent bit of tilting at windmills, or it could be a sly little pyramid scheme that ends with Ryan guffawing into the phone and telling us how much he enjoys bilking grandmas out of their pensions. Perhaps he's thinking of selling time shares in a vending machine (dibs on Thursdays). No matter. He wrote to us, asked to be featured on cannedcoffee.com, and after he politely rebuffed our offer to sell him the whole site for fifty bucks, we agreed to let him talk to our beloved readership. So Ryan, go ahead, make your pitch.

And remember who your friends are when the money starts rolling in.
