How It Works

     To heat your Cafe2Go, simply remove the service caddy and salt water/activator solution from the top of the Cafe2Go box and reclose kit.  Place your Cafe2Go on its side, remove water spout, and add one gallon of your own potable water. If preparing the all Coffee Kit, add the coffee pouch now (if using the Cafe2Go Variety Kit or the Hot Cocoa Kit, add coffee, tea, or hot cocoa to each individual cup after the water heats).  Secure the water spout.  Tear-off the top of the heater bag, and pour the enclosed salt water packet into the beverage heater pouch wrapped around the water bag inside the Cafe2Go box. 

DO NOT Microwave your Cafe2Go Kit.

     The beverage heater releases enough heat to warm-up the beverage 110 degrees F above the starting temperature of the water in just 30 minutes.   Then, the beverage temperature is maintained for over one hour!

     The patented TRUETECH™ Self-Heating Technology was introduced for use as the Field Ration Heater (FRH) by the U.S. Armed Forces in 1990 to heat Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs) for soldiers in the field. TRUETECH™ self-heating technology is a simple combination of powdered food grade iron and magnesium, salt, and water.  Spent heaters are biodegradable and easily disposed of, with no toxic materials.  To date, over 1.5 Billion meals have been heated with our self-heating technology.                                                                                                                                            

     TRUETECH™ Self-Heating Technology is used in the U.S. Armed Forces FRH MRE Heater, HeaterMeals, HeaterMeals Plus Meal Kits, HeaterMeals 3 Meal Kits, and HeaterMeals EX Entrees.  In Canada, Truetech & Innotech Products Ltd self-heating technology powers Action Meals, in England, look for HeaterMeals UK, and in South America look for ThermoPack in Peru, Columbia and Ecuador.
