As if opening the lid of a cup and pouring hot water in was truly too much work, Nissin brings you the Cup Noodles Vending Machine.
Ramen is pretty much a staple to the poor Japanese student population--or those who just can’t get it together at dinner to make an actual meal--but this device takes it to the extreme with one-button ramen noodle-making accessibility.
The instant noodle maker is small enough to fit on your countertop and holds up to 4 noodle bowls at a time for those breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack times.
Made especially for the extremely lazy--and those not too worried about their general nutrition!
