A friend of mine at work got me a card from Starbucks yesterday (when they were giving out free cups of their new brew 'Pike's Place') that allows me to get a free 'tall' cup of their new coffee every Wednesday until the end of May. Perhaps you saw news items about this promotion.?It's supposed to be a less bitter coffee and likely trying to garner more customers. Targeting people like me who hate their bitter brew. So I got a free cup today to try it and it's nothing special. It's certainly a great alternative if you're at Starbucks but it tastes like any coffee you'd get in a street corner bodega. But I'll continue getting it free as long as the promotion lasts.

Well stay on alert, because apparently they are going to run more promotions.(not sure when?)
ReplyDeleteI was reading an article on how they eliminated the breakfast sandwiches because ppl stated that Starbucks no longer had the scent of coffee, but that of a McDonalds...I am not big on Starbucks, too pricey..but if it's free-why not? lol!
I will only take starbucks if it's free! They charge way too much. I like their frapaccinos and such but the calorie count is entirely too high - to match their prices.
