There is no gluten in coffee. If you’re talking about a product that is not coffee, like a creamer or something, you have to be more specific. 😉
As a side-note, gluten is not usually the real issue for anyone’s health problems, poor digestive system health – like low stomach acid levels – is usually the real issue. Death by allergy cases aside of course.
While coffee does not contain gluten normally it can be a contaminant in coffee if the machinery is contaminated. Green Mountain does not maintain a gluten free environment while processing their coffee beans, according to their company, so gluten can be introduced at several different points during processing. While it is a far stretch of the imagination, even a worker eating a sandwich and dropping a few crumbs can be the doom for one of us if things go perfectly wrong.
So while GM coffee products may not normally contain gluten they can and it is not 100% certain that they are safe for someone with celiac disease to consume. The question is whether or not we do and most of us go ahead and do so any way. It is such a rare occurrence that cross up happens that most of us don’t think about it. It’s like eating or drinking at an outdoor event. There is a very real possibility that you can get salmonella poisoning from a bird landing on your cup’s rim. Ever think about that at a picnic?
Coffee does not naturally have gluten.
Some coffee flavors can have small amounts of gluten in the flavoring, but as best I can find from a web search, Green Mountain doesn’t have any flavors with gluten.
Some gluten could be introduced by processing the coffee on machinery that also processes products containing gluten (cross-contamination). This seems unlikely as coffee processing is pretty specialized. Folgers states they are not gluten free, so that could be an example.
