Celiac.com 06/24/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about coffee.

Specifically, is Seattle's Best coffee gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
The short answer is yes, brewed plain ground coffee, including Seattle's Best coffee, is gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. As long as nothing containing gluten is added, then the regular brewed coffee will be gluten-free.

Plain ground coffee brewed with water will always be gluten-free. As along as no gluten ingredients are added, then milk, sugar, chocolate powder, or other ingredients won't change that fact.

The longer answer is that many coffee drinks, both fresh and canned, can contain added ingredients. It's important that people with celiac disease make sure to avoid any gluten ingredients, so be sure to read labels and double check ingredients, to be safe.

Generally speaking, plain coffee will be gluten-free and safe for celiacs. It's likely that fresh and canned coffee drink will also be safe, but double check labels and ingredients to be sure.

About Me

Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

Is Coffee Flour the Future of Gluten-free Baking?
Celiac.com 12/09/2016 - Can the high fiber waste from coffee production be used to create an environmentally friendly gluten-free flour?
Coffee cherries are the fat, pulpy coating around the famous coffee bean. When coffee is harvested, the cherry is removed and discarded before the beans are processed and roasted.
Given that more than 17 billion pounds of coffee beans are harvested, fermented and dried each year, that's a great deal of coffee cherry waste. Too much, in fact, for farmers to merely plow back into their fields, as is commonly done.
Formulated by former Starbucks executive Dan Belliveau in 2012, coffee flour is transforms that leftover waste into a high quality flour that not only happens to be free of wheat, rye or barley proteins, it happens to have high levels...

Are McDonald's Latte and Coffee Drinks Gluten-Free?
Celiac.com 10/21/2020 - We get more than a few question about McDonald's Coffee and Latte Drinks. Specifically, are McDonald's Coffee and Latte Drinks gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease?
Plain coffee is gluten-free. Coffee with milk is gluten-free. Sugar is gluten-free. As with so many foods and beverages that start out gluten-free, the answer lies in the additives. Unless you add wheat or gluten ingredients, most coffee and coffee drinks are gluten-free.
However, McDonald's Latte and Coffee Drinks include numerous extra ingredients, so are they gluten-fee and safe for people with celiac disease?
McDonald's coffee drinks come in Hot, Iced, and Latte versions. The full menu for McDonald's Latte and Coffee Drinks includes:

Kahlúa and Other Top Gluten-Free Coffee Liqueurs
Celiac.com 01/22/2021 - We get a lot of questions about alcohol, and one we've seen a lot is about coffee liqueurs, like Kahlúa. We actually did an article specifically on Kahlúa, but those answers apply equally well to any of these brands of coffee liqueurs.
While we don't know of any other brands of coffee liqueur that are specifically labeled "Gluten-Free," all of the top brands we've looked at are made without gluten-ingredients, and none list wheat as an allergen. As always, read labels, and avoid anything that you're not sure about.
That said, Kahlúa, and these other top brands of coffee liqueur can be considered gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. A few, like Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, are even labeled gluten-free:

  Severe joint swelling from Celiac
  
  I also did not have the so-called typical Celiac symptoms, my main complaint was always getting sick, asthma, loss of sense of smell, and kidneys were failing. My GFR was in 40's - 50's and docs saying "Kidneys don't get better, we can only slow the decline" also "We don't do anything for kidneys until you are ready for dialysis." I was blown away, so decided...

  What do my test results mean?
  
  There's different reasons why one may be seronegative. Some Seronegative Celiacs may be genetically encoded to be IgA deficient. But, they may still make IgG antibodies, hence both IgA and IgG antibodies are tested for in the full Celiac Panel of blood tests. Instead of IgA and IgG antibodies, some Seronegative Celiacs may make other types of antibodies...

  Confused with test results
  
  In the UK and some other nations there is an increasing tendency for doctors to forego the endoscopy/biopsy if the ttg(IGA) is 10x normal range or greater. Your son's score easily exceeds that. There is only a 5% chance that his elevated ttg(IGA) levels are caused by something other than celiac disease and not more than a 10% chance that his elevated ttg...
