Remember the guy that created the cryogenically frozen ice cream treat known as Dippin’ Dots? Well he is trying it with coffee.
Curt Jones, a microbiologist figured out a way to flash freeze ice cream in a unique way. The ice cream froze in BB sized pellets and was an instant hit at the local malls. I would know this because any time we went to the mall my kids clamored for these things. Well, times changes everything and Dippin’ Dots is not such a hot (or cold) commodity any more. In fact business has been frozen, so to speak.
The dots are frozen at 320 degrees below 0 using liquid nitrogen. This allows them to be perfectly creamy with no ice crystals, very cold, and intensely flavored. But at $7 a pop who can afford them?
So the company is trying to market flash frozen coffee in the dot form. Somewhat like a frappaccino the coffee dots would appeal to an older, more mature, and financially capable crowd- the kids that were addicted to the dots twenty years ago.
So, are you going to try them?

I’d certainly try them although I never tried the ice cream dots these coffee dots sound yummy. I wonder if they pack the same amount of caffeine, and will they come in different flavors? If so I could go for a cup of pumpkin spice latte dots mmmmm…
It could be awesome!
Frozen coffe dots, yeah, I think I’d try them.
I haven’t even had the regular Dippin Dots
I was never a fan of the regular dippin dots, but if it has caffeine or coffee in the title, I’ll give ti a shot.
Mike, we’ll see..LOL.
I like Dippin Dots, but can never find them anymore. Yes, I would try the coffee.
