What's the deal with canned coffee in Japan?

Good morning my fellow MF Products Blog readers, we truly hope you’ve started your morning well with a cup of MF Coffee. We can only hope. Today we will be looking at a topic slightly different to our usual content. Coffee culture resides outside of just the UK and USA and it didn’t take us long to find interesting customs and normalities in different countries such as the use of canned coffee in vending machines in Japan. In Japan, you can have coffee canned hot, cold, ground, or even in bean form and it’s all claimed from the clicking of a couple of buttons. For those who have been to Tokyo, I’m sure you would all understand the phenomenon that surrounds this vending machine culture. Every step you take, every corner, there seems to be a vending machine with what you desire right there, at your disposal. Canned coffee was conceived in Japan back in the 1960s and regarded as a quick and suitable way to start the day. Ueshima Coffee Company is considered to be one of the pioneers of the canned coffee movement. Their first initial canned coffee product was released in 1969 and since then, they have produced numerous ways to revolutionise their products, whether that be adding milk and different flavourings to the cans or introducing hot canned options in vending machines.

But we can’t just end it there because now we need to understand Japanese coffee culture as a whole and to do that we need to time travel back to the 1930s a time when the concept of a café was being introduced. During this time over 10,000 coffee cafes were open, and the number was increasing plenteously. However now, hundreds of thousands recall their student days where they would partake in the trend and order their coffee straight from the vending machine warm and in their hands early in the morning on their way to class. Sounds very efficient if you ask me. With the rise of Japan’s metropolitan areas and fast-paced workforce, timing became everything and leisurely cups of coffee at cafes int eh 1930s could no longer be considered a daily ritual. The shift to canned coffee was a natural progression; you can stop at a convenience store to get your dose.

The MF Team hopes you enjoy the rest of your day.

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products . Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: - MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) - Chlor...

What is the best type of coffee?

Good evening my MF Product Blog readers, it’s been a while but we’re back with more content for you guys. Today, we saw a reader ask, “Out of all the different types of coffee, which one is the best?” and we believe it’s a great question. However, we also think that it depends on what you’re drinking for and that is what we will be investing in todays MF Blog . So, without further ado let’s get into this. A good cup of coffee is one that does whatever job it is that you assign it. Whether it be the most rank, percolated cup of coffee that you’re in dire need off for that extra boost or the most complex mocha made with MF Coffee that finesses your tongue with a touch of foam while you eat an olive shortbread. I know, fancy. The point is that there are so many variations of coffee to tickle your fancy. So, given that there are lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas the point this is that, while the ingredients are simple, the experience is not. There is nothing crazy about ordering a capp...
