Javette(R): The Secret Ingredient

Gourmet Coffee Concentrate Adds Flair and Flavor to Your Favorite Recipes

ATLANTA, GA, 01/19/2005 -- Emeril Lagasse does it, food critics rave about it and history has recorded it. Cooking with America’s most popular drink is an inventive way to perk up otherwise ordinary recipes. With Javette®, the first single-serving, great-tasting gourmet coffee concentrate, everyday foods including pies, fudge, muffins and bacon get a tasty jolt.

"Coffee’s rich culinary history is a testament to how it can complement almost any recipe" said Candy Palmer-Steele, founder of Javette. "Javette’s rich, robust flavor and its convenient, no-spill packaging makes it the perfect coffee cooking companion for any kitchen"

Javette is .25 ounces of concentrated gourmet coffee that when mixed with hot water makes a delicious cup of coffee. It is made of 100 percent Arabica coffee and conveniently packaged in single-serving, portion-control packages that are lightweight and flexible. Used alone, the concentrate can be mixed-in to hundreds of recipes.

While coffee is traditionally enjoyed as a beverage, it is believed that coffee was first consumed whole in ancient times to complement animal fat or dried fruit. Known for its potent smell and bold taste, the popular drink has been used more conventionally as a flavoring in candies and desserts. Now, foodies are perking up to more inventive ways to use coffee.
