| Q May I purchase and drink an Americano from Starbucks made with kosher non-dairy milk? A Kashrus experts agree that an Americano made directly into a disposable cup poses no concerns. Unlike brewed coffee, which some consider problematic due to equipment being cleaned with non-kosher utensils, espresso machines do not share this concern. Since an Americano is just diluted espresso, it is also acceptable. However, always ensure the non-dairy milk is kosher and pareve before use. The nondairy milk should not be heated and should be poured directly from the container into your drink. At OK Kosher’s Community Outreach Division, we are always accessible and available to answer our consumers’ many kashrus-related queries and questions.
