CAN-PANY Introduces Specialty Coffee Can (SCC)

In an exciting development for coffee enthusiasts, CAN-PANY, a Tokyo-based beverage company, is set to unveil its Specialty Coffee Can (SCC) at the upcoming SCAJ2025 event on September 24-27. This innovative product is the first of its kind in Japan, manufactured under strict refrigeration and low-temperature pasteurization, ensuring an unprecedented level of freshness that coffee lovers have long desired.

What is Specialty Coffee Can (SCC)?

Unlike traditional canned coffees which are stored at room temperature, the SCC categorically prioritizes freshness akin to fresh produce. This is achieved through meticulous control of temperature and time during extraction, optimized for each specific coffee bean and roasting profile. By utilizing low-temperature pasteurization, CAN-PANY ensures the unique flavors and aromas are preserved, delivering a taste experience like no other.

The production of SCC involves collaboration with micro-roasters who create tailored roasting and extraction recipes. This artisanal approach ensures that the quality and individuality of the specialty coffee are retained, making each can a unique representation of its source. With the SCC, CAN-PANY aims to extend Japan's specialty coffee culture to new heights, offering consumers a platform to discover diverse and upscale coffee experiences.

Launch at SCAJ2025

The SCAJ2025 event, the nation’s largest specialty coffee gathering, will serve as the launch pad for this innovative canned coffee product. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the vibrant flavors of the Specialty Coffee Can firsthand during live demonstrations. The event promises an interactive atmosphere, featuring other unique offerings, including non-alcoholic beverages crafted from coffee chaff, the thin skin shed during roasting. CAN-PANY's commitment to merging beverage manufacturing technology with coffee culture is shaping the future landscape of coffee consumption in Japan.
