While the CRC said this, I completely agree with you, which is part of the reason I disregarded all of the Starbucks related kashrus info I've heard.
I'll tell what I was OK with, and tell me which I'll go to hell for.
(since it's JS I'll let you know if it's worth it too
)
Frappuccinos, aside from the time period when they weren't kosher.
Black coffee. And with colov Yisroel milk when they had that near me too.
Espresso.
Wifi.
Bathroom.
And of course a mispronounced name.
