Vending machine that would serve hot items such as coffee
Since you can have cold beverages in a vending machine? Why not hot ones?
Q1: Who's with me?
Idea Description
Hot Coffee, Soup, Ciders, etc. Foo Foo fancy stores have coffee in a can. I want to be able to walk up to a machine and get one. Instead of heating the whoel area, make the cans semi-conductive so they absorb heat in the machine and not waste so much power.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Pay someone to make it.

Adding to the previous comment, even it its already been done, doesn't mean you cannot make it even more user-friendly or add something else that distinguishes your service. Maybe you can focus on coffee and other kinds of beverages. For example, I am sure mothers would like hot milk readlily available at the right temperature - guaranteed sterilized - at malls or when travelling so they don't have to worry about it. Maybe you could try to attract kids as well with a hot or warm drink they like and will force their parents to buy them this drink! Of course, I am sure there are learnings to be had by looking at what is already in existence. But I think its a great idea - and I've never seen one without a person manning the machine!
Already seen this. There is one at my local ice rink that does coffee and hot chocolate. Although it has already been done, it is not very prevalent and is really fun to use.
