[NEW YORK CITY] Free Starbucks Coffee

Heute gibt es ab 12 Uhr fuer 30 Minuten kostenlosen Starbucks Kaffee. Ich trinke ja eigentlich ueberhaupt keine Kaffeeprodukte, aber Praktikanten in New York essen und trinken alles was kostenlos ist, man sollte uns eigentlich auch die "Ratten von New York" nennen ;-)

SEATTLE - Starbucks Corp. will start serving up a new “everyday” brew Tuesday, hoping the signature blend will help revive slumping sales in its crucial U.S. market.

To celebrate the launch, it will host a half-hour nationwide coffee-tasting, giving away free 8 oz. cups of Pike Place Roast — named after its first store in Seattle’s famed public market — at more than 7,000 U.S. stores beginning at 9 a.m. PDT (12 p.m. EDT).

Chairman and Chief Executive Howard Schultz said the new blend will have a bold, robust flavor profile that customers have come to expect of Starbucks coffee, but with a smoother, buttery finish.
