Millions of times every week a customer gets a drink from a Starbucks barista. However, each interaction is unique.

It happens in an instant: a hand stretches from the bar to deliver a cup to another outstretched hand, establishing a connection.
We make sure everything we do lives up to that connection – from our commitment to the world’s highest quality coffee, to how we interact with our customers and communities to operate responsibly.

Since we began, almost forty years ago, from all the places we have been to all that we relate to, we try to make everything a little better than when we arrived.
