OK after further research, the Blonde Roast has the most caffeine of any roast. The lighter the roast, the more caffeine. So much it is making people literally sick.

1 Tall Brewed Coffee - 260 mg
1 Tall BLONDE Coffee - 300+

Yes and it hasn't killed anyone. If one is sensitive to caffeine than they need to to pay attention to what they are drinking.

Now I've never had an allergy before...ever and I am 41. I've had this coffee before and I drink coffee daily. Questions:

  • Could this possibly be a one time reaction to mold in the coffee?
  • Could I have developed an allergy to caffeine? Or a certain type of caffeine?
  • The other thing is dander in the air was extremely high yesterday in Denver. Could that have done it?
  • Has anyone ever experienced this before?
Thanks CD-MD!
OH MY GOSH this just happened to me today! I started drinking this coffee star buck blonde for the first time yesterday was okay! Today I drank it again within about an hour my got skin got hot and stinging it looked like I had a sunburn! Call the DR. told me it was a reaction take Benadryl WHAT the heck are they putting in this coffee.
