#2,

Kashrus is like many areas of Halacha: something may be permissible b’dieved, but not permissible l’chatchila. For someone addicted to caffeine, it may often be a situation of sha’as ha’dchak, which is similar to b’dieved. It depends what the other options are.

Fortunately, I gave up caffeine over a decade ago, so I don’t need to rely on this leniency (I no longer have to worry about getting caffeine withdrawal headaches on Yom Kippur either).

1. Your Coffee Bean without hashgocha t’midis is just as worthless even with the Cholov Yisroel milk.

2. You want to go to purgatory d’dieved or l’chatchila?

Maybe I’ve been laboring under a misconception my entire life, but I have always thought the if something is kosher bdieved, it is still kosher. Being kosher is like being pregnant…it either is or it aint…
