SEATTLE -- If you're a coffee drinker, Starbucks has a treat for you Wednesday morning, March 15.
The company is offering customers a complimentary cup of freshly brewed coffee. The offer's good at its more than 7,500 Starbucks around the country between 10 a.m. and noon in a promotion dubbed the National Coffee Break.
Starbucks expects to pour more than 500,000 tall (12-ounce) cups. For customers who can't make it to the restaurants, Starbucks employees will take coffee to them using mobile-sampling "Venti Vans" and insulated coffee backpacks.

BTW, I guess it's now too late for those on the East Coast, but in the West, you still have time.

I actually saw a line of people waiting outside a starbucks a few minutes ago for 10am to arrive.
Is this their idea of "sticking it to the man"?

The coffee may be free, but I bet they charge you $5.00 for the container.

I don't drink burnt coffeeIt's not in the pot long enough to burn it. It is stronger than your usual warery airline colored water. That said, just as a warning, never drink coffee in Europe or South America. A lot of Americans like weak coffee. When we brew ours at home, we double the reommended qyantity of beans to water.

Some people think their typical beans are overroasted. I dunno. I like their coffee just fine, and their espresso is usually pretty decent.
It sure beats 20 years ago when it was extremely difficult to find espresso.
