"free coffee" news and stories

Here's a pretty irresistible Earth Day offer from Starbucks: Bring in a reusable travel mug, get a free brewed coffee.

Last year the company ran the same offer and claims to have saved a million paper cups. Which is no small change.

And just in case you're wondering, you can get a 10-cent discount on your coffee every day at Starbucks when you bring in your own mug.

Racing to get your taxes done and need a quick caffeine boost? Denny's Restaurants want you to know that they have come out with a new "Special Blend" of coffee, and will be offering free samples on Tax Day which is tomorrow, April 17th. If you are unable to make it on that specific date, they will also be offering free samples on April 21 & 22, and April 28 & 29 between 8am and 1pm.

Peet’s Coffee & Tea is a California coffee chain that began in Berkeley on the corner of Walnut and Vine Streets in 1966. The chain has grown into not only a local favorite, but something of an icon for quality coffee and teas. They proudly assure customers of their commitment to quality with every cup they serve. This April, they are celebrating their 40th anniversary by giving away some free coffee to customers. From April 3-30, from 1 to 3 p.m., Peet's baristas will be offering up free samples of brewed coffee and tea. Customers who purchase fresh beans, whole or ground, on Fridays in April will also receive 1/2 pound of fresh beans free with their purchase.

There are now Peet’s locations in Seattle, Portland, Boston, Denver and Chicago, in addition to Northern and southern California. Look up the one nearest you and plan to stop in this month

Don't forget to stop by a Starbucks between 10-12 today, March 15th. If you didn't catch our notice last week, Starbucks is hosting a Coffee Break. Every Starbucks will be giving out free tall-sized, 12-ounce regular coffees to anyone who drops by.  This may not apply to Starbucks locations that are in supermarkets or bookstores, because they are not operated by the Starbucks corporation, but licensed to the stores they are located in - so make sure you are at a regular Starbucks location. If you are nice to the baristas, they may even have some samples of their favorite pastries to pass out!

On Wednesday, March 15th, Starbucks will host a nation-wide coffee break. At stores across America, from 10am to noon, Starbucks baristas will be giving out free tall cups of freshly brewed coffee. There will also be coffee-experts on hand to answer questions about the coffee itself or the brewing process, as well as any questions about brewing at home or the specialty drinks on the menu. For reference, the "tall" cup size is 12-ounces and the drink served will be black coffee, not lattes, though the condiment bar will be available for those who take cream and sugar.
