What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world? (lemm.ee)

I used to see these more often in Canada but now they're pretty unusual. Not heated cans like some Japanese machines, just cups of coffee and sometimes lattes and shit.

Now you're forced to pay $3+ for muddy garbage at Tim's/McDonalds and you have to wait in line to get it too. Alternatively drop $7+ at Starbucks for ok coffee? I can make better tasting coffee with a drip machine, let alone my French press.
