While there are glues out there that have gluten as an ingredient, I would have to say that unless the glue is runny and sticking to your hands, its fine.
If it was runny, the coffee would run out before you drank any
I have heard the adhesive on stamps can contain gluten but the taste of stamp glue is nasty. Why woudl anyone want to lick a stamp?
All myths.
"Tonya Muse, senior vice president of the Envelope Manufacturers Association,states that adhesives used on envelopes do not contain gluten. There are actually only a few envelope glue manufacturers in the US.National Starch & Chemical, a New Jersey company, is one of the largest adhesive suppliers in the world. A company spokesperson says it makes its glue from corn, which is gluten free.
(this would likely also be true for coffee cups or anything else.)
As for postage stamps, the US Postal Service points out that 98 to 99 percent of the stamps it now sells are pressure adhesive stamps. You peel them off a paper backing and press them onto your mail. No licking required for anyone, including celiacs.
"Even if you happen to get a stamp that needs to be licked, the adhesive on it is gluten free, says Roy Betts, a spokesman for the US Postal Service."

I think gluten is the original glue, though we call it "paste" in kindergarten nowadays. :-) If the 7-11 cups are gluted with glue, that would explain why they keep separating. But now I read that Decaf coffee has gluten in it? That's a bummer because I've been cutting my afternoon cup 50/50 regular and decaf so I can sleep at night.

Decaf coffee does not have gluten We asked him where he got that info and he didn't give us an answer.

We have all heard these stories about gluten in envelope and stamp glue. But has anyone ever actually found a verified case? In over twelve years, I have not seen one.
I haven't licked a stamp in many years, but that is because in Canada they use pressure-sensitive adhesive--you peel and press.
Many "glues" on the market do contain wheat or an unspecified starch. I dont think that there have been many cases reported about being glutened by glues however, as if I have been glutened the last thing I would think was the culprit would be stamp glue Most of the time if anyone gets glutened, they think through what they ate that could have had gluten in it. Glues would be the last thing on your mind.
I havent actually had a stamp that had to be licked in years as the stamps where I live have been the peel back types that dont need licking to activate them.

Which glues? Maybe wallpaper paste but most normal glues like Elmer's, don't contain wheat

Wheat glue used to be commonly used for many things, like wallpaper paste, Elmer's glue etc.. But most glue is acrylic these days. Checking with maker of the coffee cups is the thing to do. They should know the answer.

Proverbs 25:16 "Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it." Job 30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. Thyroid cyst and nodules, Lactose / casein intolerant. Diet positive, gene test pos, symptoms confirmed by Dr-head. My current bad list is: gluten, dairy, sulfites, coffee (the devil's brew), tea, Bug's Bunnies carrots, garbanzo beans of pain, soy- no joy, terrible turnips, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and hard work. have a good day! :-) Paul

Some coffe *might* have gluten in it - not as an ingredient but more likely through cross contamination while processing. I know there is one coffee that makes me very sick when I drink it, not sure of the brand but it is at a restaurant chain here in canada.
Also some teas might have the same issue. I saw one brand though that had a gluten free lable . I think it was the Twinings brand.

It would be very odd to have gluten in a coffee processing plant. It's possible a restaurant chain might have some cc issues going on in the kitchen.
There are a few teas which are " malted" but most are fine, too.
