I can't seem to find a manufacturer that says their coffee (beans or ground) is processed without flour (gluten) to keep the beans from sticking while moving or without an oil that contains gluten somewhere in their processing.

Anyone have a good suggestion on to where to buy or what brand would be completely gluten free in their processing or processing environment?

I'm going to try buying any coffee beans and rinse them off before grinding them at home. And that make a pot of coffee.

If I still get ill with gluten symptoms, I'm going to try washing them in a little soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. I'll then grind and make a new pot of coffee. It the coffee tastes soapy or still makes have gluten symptoms, I'll let ya know.

Hopefully something will work and if it does, I'll let you know that for sure!!

I miss my delicious coffee but don't like getting sick, so I'm drinking tea and not liking it. We all have to give so much up to be gluten free & healthy already, UGH! Buffy )

Coffee in itself is gluten free and it is not dusted with flour to keep the beans from sticking. Flour would be considered one of the eight main allergens and full disclosure would be required.

Enjoy your coffee.

I have been enjoying a few cups of java a week again for about 2 years and all is well. If there were gluten in it, because of my insane sensitivity, I'm sure I'd have known by now!


Yum!

The only coffee you have to worry about is some of the flavored coffees. Pure coffee beans have no gluten nor are processed with wheat. Especially what we grow here in Kona <G>

As to what Ken said, I've been glutened by flavored coffee...

I stick to whole beans, non flavored, whatever blend I'm in the mood for and have otherwise had no problems.

[kenlove]

Me too so I started flavoring my own coffee -- grand the beans with dried orange peel, Cinnamon stick or roasted mac nuts.
Every now and then its nice to do!

Thanks for the tops, Ken! Orange peels & cinnamon sound divine mixed in with the beans!

Oh, and can you do something about the price of that Kona coffee for us mainland folks?

[kenlove]

Sure wish I could do something about the price -- I bought the farm so it wasnt so expensive!
Actually our coop just went up on buying back the processed coffee too.

I have not tried vanilla beans in the coffee yet since they cost more than the coffee!

take care

If you like sugar in your coffee you can take a vanilla bean crack it up a it then put it into a jar of sugar, seal and leave it a couple of days and it will give a great vanilla scent and flavor to the sugar you add to the coffee.

It may be the acid in the coffee that is bothering you.

I have not been able to drink regular coffee for a couple of years now without it just killing my stomach. The stuff just kills my stomach. But I have had great success with low-acid coffee. I buy the Trader Joe's brand. I tried the Folger's coffee that was supposed to be easy on the stomach but still had issues.

Maybe this will help.

The very first time I was glutened after going gluten free was hazelnut coffee at a convience store. That glutening I will never forget. I also worked in a convience store and used to read the ingredients on cappichino boxes...probably 30 or 40 ingredients. In my opinon, that many ingreds is just asking for trouble.

I have just started using coconut milk for my coffee, it's vanilla flavored. My first cup I wasn't sure if I liked it, but it's growing on me. The store only had vanilla flavored. It may be difficult for me to get used to simply because I have never, ever wanted anything flavored in my coffee.

I challenge anybody to show us a coffee maker that uses flour to keep beans from sticking. There would be no reason to do so. Where did this notion come from?

In addition, any flavored coffee that uses wheat would now have to list the wheat. Can anybody name a specific coffee that has wheat?

I was glutened by The Fresh Market's brand. It was a chocolate something flavored coffee, was not packaged, and my thought is that the flavoring contained barley malt rather than wheat. I contacted the company and they wouldn't give me any info.... but my reactions are so specific to gluten that I know that's what it was. It was also the only different thing in my diet, so I tracked it to that.

I don't think that it's common, (which was why I took the risk in the first place) but it's there.

Wheat, though, I've never really been worried about in coffee.

Thats a good idea although I dont use sugar in anything these days. ( bad diabetes)
The idea of this is great and I will try it the next time I harvest vanilla.
One guy here has a machine to juice sugar cane so he's adding this to his coffee.
Using fresh liquid sugar juice as a replacement for the white processed stuff should be interesting.

I've been doing this for years--it's good added to so many things The longer you leave it, the better it gets.
