Not a COTS item I guess, but in FRC the first non-deburred aluminum it grazed would have the coffee all over the deck.

I wonder if they're using unbrewed or brewed grounds.
1. I saw that info elsewhere; they simply bring it to ambient (just a bit higher, so air flows in to the coffee)

2. Surely we could develop an abrasion-resistant covering? I'm thinking 1/2 oz Kevlar or something.

3. Unbrewed. It needs to be very dry. (I also suspect that it has a bit of the 'in case of caffeine shortage, break balloon' effect going on, too )
