The next round of lawsuit's

The article is in the WSJ and you have to be a subscriber to see the article, but it is interesting.

Ever wonder why so many people go to Starbucks and the like when they can just as easily make their own coffee in the morning? Starbucks says their coffee taste better and that is the reason. Maybe. The other can be the caffeine content of the drink.

A medium cup of coffee at Starbucks has 233 mg of caffeine. The same amount from 7-11 only has 141 mgs. The coffee shops use more coffee grounds to make each pot (two tablespoons per 6 cups verses one tabs for 7-11 and the instructions on store bought coffee) which leads to a richer taste and more caffeine.

While at the moment caffeine is looked upon as a mild stimulant and is legal, how long before someone sues and eventually wins because they claim the sellers of coffee knew they were selling an additive drug and didn't warn people of the harmful effects of caffeine. If you have ever had bad caffeine withdrawals, you know it can be unpleasant.

So enjoy your coffee while you can, soon it will be make illegal because of the danger of caffeine.
