Brewing Together Day of Service
Hi everyone- I’m pleased to return to the Ideas in Action blog to invite YOU to join Starbucks and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” for Brewing Together Day of Service this Saturday, November 21st. Visit www.handsonnetwork.org/brewingtogether to find a volunteer event in your local community. This service event is the next step in Starbucks Coffee Company’s partnership with “Morning Joe,” announced earlier this year. Both companies are coming together to encourage community service across the country. As part of raising awareness for volunteerism, “Morning Joe” will highlight volunteer efforts and information on-air during the weeks leading up to November … more »
New Holiday Beverage!
Hi everyone, it's Tara again, the product manager of holiday espresso. Starting Tuesday, November 17, in Starbucks stores across the United States, will feature what's sure to be a new holiday beverage tradition : the new Caramel Brulée Latte. It’s a combination of creamy, rich caramel sauce (new and different from anything we’ve offered before), fresh Starbucks espresso, and steamed milk. It is topped with whipped cream and shimmery pieces of crunchy caramel topping. Inside the Starbucks laboratories, those of us working on developing this drink have come to know and love the topping so much that we refer to it as “the jewel. ” Check it out and you’ll … more »
Starbucks Love Project!
Hey Lindsey here again! If you don't remember me from previous posts, I work on the marketing team and specifically support our relationship with (RED)™ - a key component of Starbucks™ Shared Planet™ and our ongoing commitment to the people and communities that grow our coffee.

Find a Starbucks Street Team and Get a Starbucks Card!
Hi all, my name is Chuck and I work on the Starbucks Card team. Earlier this summer we launched the Starbucks Card Mobile application, which lets you manage your Starbucks Card and even pay with your iPhone™ or iTouch™ at certain Starbucks stores in Seattle and the Bay area (click here to visit our store locator). This week, (today through Monday 11/16) we’re going to have Starbucks teams out on the streets – Find these teams and you’ll get a Starbucks Card! Just show them the Starbucks Card Mobile app on your iPhone™ or iTouch™, and you’ll receive a free $5 Starbucks Card to load directly onto your device (until we run out).

myStarbucks iPhone App Updated Today
Just in time for the holidays, we've updated our iPhone (and iPod touch) App to include Starbucks new seasonal (and delicious) beverages and food. A new feature that I love is that you can now share what you’re drinking (and which store you’re drinking it in) with your friends on Facebook® and Twitter™. We’re already putting together the next App, so you can expect more new features soon. Also, I know you want myStarbucks on other platforms, and that is something I work on every day. Have a great weekend, and keep the mobile ideas coming!
24 Hour Starbucks Stores
A recent top idea on MSI has been 24 hours . We are working on getting this information on the Starbucks.com site but in the meantime I thought I would share with you where these 24 hour store locations are. There are currently 63 stores total in 15 states. There are a few in the city that never sleeps. Where else would you want a 24 hour Starbucks? Alabama Opelika : I-85 @ HWY 280 - 2056 Interstate Drive California Ceres : Herndon & Hatch - 1427 Herndon Avenue Dixon : I-80 & Pitt School - 1450 Ary Lane Lake Elsinore : Grape & Railroad Canyon - 31800 Grape Street Manteca : Yosemite & HWY 99 - 1451 Hulsey Way Modesto : Briggsmore & Prescott - 2045 West Briggsmore Moreno Valley … more »
BPA and Starbucks
Hi there-- it’s me, Sarah, from the merchandise team. I’d like to share some information about our plastic products, as well as clear up some common misconceptions regarding the use of BPA, or bisphenol- A. Last summer, Starbucks removed the few items in our line that were manufactured with BPA. All of our current products are BPA-free except for our Recycled Tumblers (the new version of this series, coming out in early 2010, will be BPA-free and indicate so) and the Brown Soft Touch Diana Tumbler with handle. These tumblers have an exterior that is made out of poly carbonate (a plastic manufactured with BPA), but the liner-- the part of the tumbler that comes into contact with liquids … more »
