So I guess I can add Starbucks to the list of things that I never got to try.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

You can still try it, but you may have to suffer the consequences of your actions

all the kashrus orginazations have a hard time with starbucks. cynical view is they all want the business, practical view is that there's a lot going on there, quickly, and no one wants to say it's ok under those conditions.
I agree, but then why have the position that black coffee is ok anywhere and not have that apply to Starbucks? Starbucks can't be the only place that runs like that, if one place does, others do, and it doesn't make sense to say that it's ok everywhere.

Sure it does. If you go to McDonald's and buy a black coffee you won't have a Hava Amina to buy a burger. If you go to Starbucks you might get a latte and then you might get a flavored mochiato

The Star-K seems to say in this article, coffee in paper cups is always fine. They even have a Hava Amina that you can buy from McDonalds, which is rejected due to Maris Ayin, not kasharus concerns!

I know many ppl who buy McDonald's black coffee... Happens all the time in rest stops etc. How is it different than a fountain soda? Or is that a problem also?

Hot is the difference but that should apply to any coffee place.

But you could have before. The star K was only concerned about keilim, not people buying other things. I don't think your reasoning matches what an agency actually said.

That's not a reason to say something isn't kosher, besides for the fact that the Star K never said anything of the sort.

I believe the issue people have with that is maares ayin more than kashrus, but to each their own with that.
