"the best name in coffee" reads the printed slogan in Danish on the slip-on cover.
Slightly aggressive-looking sketch outlining the concept for the ad:
As in many vintage ads for consumables the product packaging rather than its content has a central spot,

Today you typically create a story around the product and promote the brand instead.

Let's have an appropriate cup of coffee before departure... Mmmmm!
Taking anti-reflective measures is crucial for a successful journey through time.
Initializing time machine...
Working in a state of flux while moving backwards through time...
Minor course-adjustments will ensure a safe arrival...
Arriving in style with shiny hand crafted brass lettering!
And finally Mr. Coffee Tin arrives... Welcome back!
