A popular Starbucks coffee variety allegedly contains undeclared potassium — potentially harming clueless customers who believe they’re chugging pure java, The Post has learned.
A complaint filed late last month with the North Carolina Department of Justice’s Consumer Protection Division claims Starbucks Dark French Roast Coffee “significantly exceeds” levels of the essential nutrient found in other unadulterated beans sold on supermarket and retail shelves.
Independent laboratory testing found 13% more potassium in Starbucks’ dark roast compared to its house blend as well as Dunkin’ Donuts’ and Lavazza’s dark roast varieties, according to the complaint.

I bet they will find a large portion of ground, burnt tires in the coffee.
has there been a single case of hyperkalemia linked to starbucks ?
just wondering
Excess potassium can be dangerous for some people.
Which is exactly what it tastes like when drunk without all the added crapola people put in it. O.J. Simpson coffee ... strong, black and bitter.
Yum.
Gas station coffee. That’s where its at.
“Excess potassium can be dangerous for some people.”
Some people have low potassium levels, it will even out.
When you buy Vietnamese coffee and burn it beyond all recognition into a cinder, it tastes just like the best coffee burnt into a cinder. When you add enough sugar, flavoring, and whipped cream, you can make cinder water taste good enough to have stupid people buy it.
And that is how Starbucks winds up on every street corner, making money.
Starbucks coffee makes great tar remover
It can eat through 4 inches of blacktop within hours
It tastes like it already has.
Exactly how I like my coffee, but it must taste of burnt Michelin, not burnt Chinese knock-offs.
Potassium! Are you kidding me?
Potassium is an electrolyte required for your heart to beat in a regular rhythm. Almost every American is DEFICIENT in potassium.
Potassium is used as a salt substitute in low-salt products (such as low-sodium V8).
They probably added potassium instead of salt to enhance the flavor. I don’t see the problem.
Starbuck’s coffee is designed to be mixed with tons of cream, sugar, and other flavoring. If it wasn’t strong you wouldn’t be able to taste the coffee at all.
It’s terrible as a black coffee (which is how I drink coffee).
Yes.
We’re all going to be poisoned, one way or another (CDC, Starbucks,.........)
That not good for people with kidney disease.
I went to the first Starbuck’s coffee place, had a cup, never went back. I think their coffee is terrible.
O.J. Simpson coffee ... strong, black and bitter
