Ingredients for a regular coffee at Starbucks.

Starbucks’ regular coffee is made with brewed coffee. Brewed coffee is the major ingredient but depending on a customer’s preference, a few more ingredients can be added.

On their official website, Starbucks states that it cannot guarantee that its regular coffee is allergen-free. Majorly because the equipment used in the store is shared and any of their unpackaged products are susceptible to being contaminated with allergens. It is, therefore, crucial for allergy-prone customers to read carefully through the beverage’s ingredient list before purchasing and consuming this beverage.
