Metal coffee beans to keep your drink warm

A team of inventors has created beans that will cool down your coffee to a drinkable temperature.
You brew a pot of coffee and wait for it to cool a bit so you can drink it without scalding your esophagus - only the cooling doesn't stop once it starts, but what if it could? Inventors have discovered a way to not only cool your coffee faster than just waiting, but to then keep it at that drinkable temperature for several hours.
The morning coffee is a ritual beloved by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Now a team of inventors has promised to improve this daily pleasure with metal beans that can keep your drink warm for up to five hours. The beans, called Coffee Joulies, cool down your beverage to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal, and then maintain that temperature.

Ummm... of course what most people fail to realize is that even brewed coffee has a lot of sediment in it. The longer it sits, the more rank it becomes because it continues to steep. This is why good coffee bistos make drip coffee into a stainless pot, then throw whatever is left over away after 40 or so minutes. So ya, I won't be buying any because I'm a coffee... SNOB. LOL.

The article states that the beans take up 15% of my coffee mug's precious space. There is NO way I'm giving up 15% of my black crack space to some metal bean.

There is NO way I'm giving up 15% of my black crack space to some metal bean. lol You know I thought about that and came to realize that the 15% is usually the bit that ends up cold at the bottom anyways. So for the comfort of 85% of a hot coffee then maybe I might be able to sacrifice it!

It's so good to see that serious scientists are working hard on important issues such as solving world hunger, or climate change!
