After the mishaps with the Wolfgang Puck self-heating lattes, I am a little leery of any packaged coffee that makes itself. At least JavaVoo uses the microwave instead of a potentially explosive internal heating device.
JavaVoo uses a patented "pressure brewing" process in which water is forced through a filter of organic coffee grounds during a quick, 2-minute trip in the microwave. The empty water bottle, included in the package and upended on the top during brewing, is removed and disposed of once the drink is made, allowing the user to drink right from the cup. In addition to being able to brew plain coffees, the company has developed flavored latte drinks, which include milk/cream and sweetener, and non-coffee beverages, like spiced chai tea and cinnamon cider. JavaVoo premiered at the Fancy Foods Show this month in Chicago and seemed to be very well received, both because it is convenient and organic, hitting two hot-button trends with one product.
