Starbucks is
focusing on Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. They’re offering a free taste
of their house blend, and if you buy a $13.95 bag of it you’ll get a free
commemorative tasting cup. Seriously? At their prices?? Knock it to half-price
on the beans and throw in a logo mug and I’m in.
Krispy Kreme will
pour you a free 12-oz. cup on the 29th. It’s an absolute given that
you’ll buy their incomparable donuts to go with it.
Dunkin’ Donuts also
offers a freebie but it’s complicated. First you have to show the National
Coffee Day page on the “My Offers” tab of the chain’s mobile app for iPhone and
Android. Did you even follow that?
Peet’s Coffee &
Tea will give away a small Maple Latte on Sunday with the purchase of any
baked good or Simply Oatmeal product.
IKEA is expanding
the holiday to include National Cinnamon Bun Day on October 4. On those days
you get a free cinnamon bun with the purchase of any coffee or travel mug.
That’s what I found on the national chains, but I bet your
local faves are celebrating, too. Google ‘em and see.
Hey – don’t scoff at the idea of a National Coffee Day. As
the Consumerist points out, it’s one of the few holidays that (A) doesn't
require a greeting card, a party, or decorations, and (B) results in free
coffee for people willing to seek it out.
