My Coffee and Biscotti Mini-Tour
August 29, 2012
by sbx_evan

So I spent the past two mornings crunching through our biscotti, and am now an official biscotti convert. Here is my tour. Day 1 – I decided to start with the new Cherry Walnut Biscotti .

Day 2 – Vanilla Almond Biscotti was up next with lots of real vanilla extract and dry roasted … more »

While your coworkers may not always recognize your heroic caffeine-fetching efforts, we sure do. Which is why we’re offering the Starbucks Runner Reward Program : come in with four drink orders, and we’ll … more »

Picking up a hot beverage but forgot your travel tumbler? Take a close look at the sleeve on your cup. It looks and performs the same as our previous cup sleeve, but there’s been a big improvement. It has been modified to use 34% less paper and increased the recycled content from 60% to 85% post-consumer fiber – and it’s still compostable and recyclable! With nearly three billion* hot cup sleeves produced in the United States in 2011 and Starbucks representing nearly half of the marketplace, this innovation will allow us to save almost 100,000 trees, based on our 2011 volume. This new design also saves in shipping – we can fit 15% more sleeves on a truck, reducing the … more »
