Stacy Pincus accused the coffee chain of “deceiving” customers with its ice to coffee to cup ratio.
The American’s lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, alleges a beverage advertised at 24 ounces actually only contains 14 counts of coffee due to the amount of ice used.
It reads: “Starbucks' advertising practices are clearly meant to mislead consumers when combined with the standard practice of filling a cold drink cup with far less liquid than the cup can hold.
"If Starbucks truly intended to provide the amount of fluid ounces in its Cold Drinks that it advertises, there would be simple ways to do so.

Starbucks' advertising practices are clearly meant to mislead consumers
“In essence, Starbucks is advertising the size of its cold drink cups on its menu, rather than the amount of fluid a customer will receive when they purchase a cold drink - and deceiving its customers in the process," the suit says.
Starbucks have since issued a statement describing the lawsuit from the Chicago resident as “without merit”.

A spokeswoman added: "Our customers understand and expect that ice is an essential component of any 'iced' beverage.
"If a customer is not satisfied with their beverage preparation, we will gladly remake it."
