Abstract

A coffee glass is disclosed which is prepared by evaporating coffee extract to at least 45% solids and then further evaporating that extract to form as viscoelastic fluid containing above 3% to 12% water and about 88% to 97% total coffee derived solids, aromatizing and/or gasifying the fluid in a confined headspace shaping the fluid, and cooling the fluid to entrap and protect coffee aromas providing less than 20% loss of volatiles.
