Small cans holding one ounce of soluble coffee were included in the 10-in-1 Ration. The size of this can was 202 x 106 and is about the equivalent of the small modern 70 ml tomato paste cans.

To reproduce this product you should find the small tomato paste cans (#202 / 52mm) without the easy opening feature. Cut or drill carefully a hole in the bottom and wash out the tomato paste. Dry the rinsed can thoroughly. Fill the can through the hole with instant coffee powder and seal the hole with a round metallic sticker. Add the label.

 

Soluble Coffee Product was a type of soluble coffee produced and used during World War II, both for military rations and for the civilian population. This soluble coffee was often promoted as a convenient and long-lasting option for obtaining coffee, especially on the battlefield or in situations where fresh coffee was difficult to obtain.

Soluble coffee production began in the early 20th century, but it became particularly important during World War II, where it became an essential part of C-rations and K-rations for the U.S. Army. Soluble coffee offered soldiers a quick and easy way to brew coffee without the need for a coffee maker or fresh coffee beans.

Most soluble coffee products of the time came from large coffee companies such as Nestlé, Maxwell House, and Folgers, which produced soluble coffee for both civilian and military use. The Soluble Coffee Product brand was not necessarily a brand per se, but a generic term used for the soluble coffee products that came in cans or pouches
