As someone with a shrimp allergy, I have to be careful with my coffee too. Certain regions, such as Colombia, are notorious for high cockroach content in their coffee.
And now I'm even more glad that I buy whole bean rather than ground coffee.
I buy whole bean then toss in a roach or two so I get the full experience, fresh right in my kitchen.
This is really cool, so you use only local roaches? That’s my issue with packaged coffee - the roaches are usually from Argentina or something and i try to buy American as much as possible.
I prefer single origin, not a blend, so I order my coffee and my roaches from the same region in colombiay
What have I just read in this thread?

Chtulhu was taking notes, I risk.
Oh god, I like Colombian coffee. Excuse me while I retch.
I’ll have you know roachfee is a sustainable alternative to pure coffee. /s
More seriously it looks like this is primarily based on anecdotes and was directed at ground coffee vs whole beans.
That isn't super encouraging that the standard is less than 10% any matter that isn't coffee, including insect parts.
You’re not going to be encouraged by everything else they allow.
Though I think (anyone feel free to jump in if I’ve got it wrong) that the coffee limits are not 10% non-coffee matter by weight but rather 10% of beans demonstrating insect damage/infestation/mold. This is not exactly reassuring, but it’s almost certainly far less insects than 10% of your coffee bag’s weight being ground up buggies. You can read about the FDA’s coffee analysis process which is interesting, if somewhat opaque.
I'm going to tell myself that this is an American thing that the EU protects me from. Then I will not look into it any further, so that I can continue to exist. Thank you
I’m pretty sure all insect fragments, rodent droppings, and the like all vanish as soon as they cross the EU border in accordance with food safety regulations. /s
I did start reading into said EU regulations a bit, but I won’t ruin your day.
As an avid coffee drinker... WHAT THE FUCK!?
