It is true that coffee can contain traces of insect parts, including potentially cockroach fragments, but not in the way that coffee is filled with live cockroaches. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows a certain small amount of insect contamination in food products, including coffee. Up to 10% of green coffee beans may have some form of insect infestation or damage, but cockroach contamination specifically is not legally allowed. Cockroach parts may occasionally be present in low-quality or bulk pre-ground coffee due to storage conditions, but specialty coffee generally does not have this issue. Cockroach allergens in coffee can be a concern particularly for people who are allergic to shellfish due to cross-reactivity of proteins, but this is a rare and specific allergy situation. Furthermore, cockroaches are not generally attracted to coffee itself, but rather to sugar, creamer, moisture, and warm conditions around coffee setups. In summary, while traces of insect parts (including possibly cockroach fragments) can be found in some coffee due to unavoidable contamination and FDA permissible limits, coffee would not be knowingly contaminated with cockroaches, especially not in specialty or high- quality coffee products.
