Saw this advertisement in The Age today.
Starbucks is about doing business in ways that are good to the earth and each other. This year we are doubling our purchases of Fairtrade Certified coffee to 40 million pounds- making Starbucks the largest purchaser of Fairtrade certified coffee in the world!
That's why in Thursday May 7th we invite you to stop what you're doing between 9 & 11am and join us for a complimentary tall cup of freshly brewed Fairtrade Certified Cafe Estima Blend coffee.
They did this last year. It turned out to be just black coffee poured from a dripolator. Not too bad if that's what you're into, but I felt a bit misled.
where is it available?
the fine print in the ad says:
one tall 355ml cup cafe estima blend per customer
no purchase necessary
while stocks last
offer only available at participating Australia Starbucks lcations

It would be better if they didn't close the Starbucks downstairs from my office last year…
It was excellent last year. Free coffee, free stainless steel mug, and free prepaid card with $6 credit. Hopefully this year is the same but unlikely.
Really? Where was that?
nice one.
altough i prefer Gloria from the franchises, i wouldnt mind a freebie
Really? Where was that?
Wynyard Park.
ps: "reply" doesn't seem to work, maybe an incompatibility with Firefox 3.0.10. It was working pre-3.0.10.
OK - Is that still there? As I said before the Parramatta branch just had a dripolator sitting on the side. No mug or card :(
Don't know, will find out on 07/May.
Last year they had booths setup at Wynyard Park, you collect stamps by sampling different blend of coffee then you get the goodies.
Has anyone got a scan of the Ad from the Newspaper?
Or is there an online Ad for this offer?
why isn't there starbucks in Perth? i feel left out.
too many Dome's in Perth :P
I compiled a list of all the Starbucks deals I know about at http://www.bargainbabe.com/2009/04/29/all-the-starbucks-deal…
Not sure if this is spam or not - I'd probably give you the benefit of the doubt. This is however an Australian site and yours apears to be US-centric.
Agree. Not very helpful at all.
I just tried the coffee, it was foul
It was like a long black on very bitter.
anyway atleast i didn't pay for it
nice. do we get to choose what kind of coffee?
melbourne cbd? what do we have to do? just go up and ask for free coffee?
