More California craziness!
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles judge has ruled that California law requires coffee companies to carry an ominous cancer warning label because of a chemical produced in the roasting process.
Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle wrote in a proposed ruling Wednesday that Starbucks and other coffee companies failed to show that the threat from a chemical compound produced in the roasting process was insignificant.
A nonprofit group had sued coffee roasters, distributors and retailers under a state law that requires warnings on a wide range of chemicals that can cause cancer. One of those chemicals is acrylamide, a carcinogen present in coffee.

It will hit the local topless coffee shack much harder.

Latte, Grande, end of discussion.
When I asked for a normal everyday coffee the clerk looked at me as if I had just come from another planet, walked out empty handed. Did come across a dunking Donut couple miles down the road happily bought the good old working man special coffee
Sorry, He Dog. WE have been drinking coffee. You have apparently been drinking warm milk.
Don't overlook the espresso in there.[:p]
Sorry, don't enjoy bitter flavors.
Starbucks can afford it as from what I heard, their junk is expensive. No idea why anyone would pay $5 for what they call 'coffee' or any of those other so-called coffee shops.
Tried to get a cup of plain black coffee in a place like that once in the Mall of America and they didn't have any ... just junked up crap called coffee.
No interest.

I have bought regular coffee at a Starbucks at least 2 or 3 times, but then I have only been in a Starbucks 2 or 3 times.
Not sure how you asked for it, but if you try 'black coffee' you will get black coffee.

As an aside, I wonder how California is going to get cancer warning labels to stick to sunlight?

Not sure what Starbucks you went to but I buy a Large medium roast at Starbucks all the time for $2.50. Same with all the other gourmet coffee shops, $2-3.00 for a regular cup of coffee. No different than many of the gas station/truckstop coffees anymore.
I have and use my old Stanley vacuum bottle thermos for my perfectly brewed Maxwell House original roast coffee. Stays hot all day long.
Starbuck was a creation not of some lame TV show, but of a literature classic. Herman Melville created him as the first mate to Captain Ahab in the novel "Moby Dick".
The state of California IS THE BIG "C" in our union!
Well played.
And yes I know this is just a beginning since BBQ/Smoked meats causes cancer. So it's just a matter of time before they get hit, too.
