Is starbucksgroundcoffee.com legit or a scam?
Fake Starbucks coffee shop cloning athome.starbucks.com with deep discounts on pods, flagged phishing by Gridinsoft and malicious by Netcraft plus scam reports.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site pretends to be an official Starbucks store selling K-Cup pods and ground coffee like Pike Place Roast at 40% off. It clones the layout and branding of the legitimate athome.starbucks.com, our strongest signal of fraud. Gridinsoft flags it as phishing and Netcraft as malicious, with independent review sites giving poor trust scores. A 7-month-old domain with hidden China owner claiming 10 years experience seals the scam verdict. No real contact info or business proof adds to the risk.

Common questions about this site, answered from the scan data on this page. These are auto-generated — not hand-written — so they always match the underlying report.
- Our automated security review flags starbucksgroundcoffee.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
- No — starbucksgroundcoffee.com scored 10/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
- Yes. starbucksgroundcoffee.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 45 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- starbucksgroundcoffee.com is 7 months old, registered on 9/18/2025 through Xin Net Technology Corporation. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. starbucksgroundcoffee.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

- We cache results for 24 hours. Signed-in MalwareTips members can trigger a manual rescan at any time using the "Rescan" button on the report page, which re-runs every check from scratch and refreshes this page.
