On Ebay etc. there are lots of listings of ‘coffee cans’ in America and they are what we in the UK would just call a mug or cup. What actually IS a coffee can? (Not, as I said, a coffee can as in something you would buy/store coffee in.)
A can is a can you purchase a can of coffee or a bag or a tin. Then you brew it in a coffee pot and pour it into a mug to drink from. You may be looking at coffee cans of days long ago, which may have some value as antiques. If this doesn’t help you i may be living a sheltered life here in the USA ( I’ve been drinking coffee here now for over twenty five years) I hope this helps
