Starbucks will host its first-ever Starbucks Coffee Break, inviting customers across the country to enjoy a complimentary cup of freshly brewed coffee March 15 at more than 7,500 Starbucks U.S. company-operated and licensed locations.

In stores and on street corners, from insulated brewing equipment and giant coffee backpacks, partners (employees) will pour tall (12-ounce) cups of coffee to surprise customers and delight commuters.

In addition, Starbucks Coffee Masters, certified coffee experts who have taken extra coffee classes and facilitated many coffee tastings, will be available to introduce customers to the world of coffee and offer customer tips on how to brew great coffee at home.
