Instant laser coffee

Instant laser coffee, I'm not sure if a 35W laser would work (this is a 2Kw) but I'll try and experiment later - [via] Link.

I wonder if coffee, being black, would heat up faster than plain water in a white mug.

It will be so awesome when they start outfitting the animals at seaworld with lasers so that it can be a Star Bucks / Seaworld. Those lazy dolphins free ride is over, time for a some lazer barista training!

Though neat, it seems to have the same problem as my instant RF coffee -- boiling over and making a mess.

From what I can make of the video, the NO: YAG Laser is 2,5 kW And the HeNe is 3mW...
