Starbucks is making the love month even sweeter for caffeine lovers with its Valentine’s Day secret menu, which consists of three new kinds of frappes.
Arizona-based Starbucks employee Tony Aguilar concocted three Valentine’s Day-themed frappes and posted them on Reddit.

“I was actually surprised with how popular they became,” Aguilar told Cosmopolitan in an interview.
Starbucks’s Valentine’s Day secret menu includes the Valentine Frappuccino, the Love Bean Frappuccino, and the Java Berry Frappuccino, the report details.
The Valentine Frappuccino is actually a
Seasons often invoke a series of sentimental images. White sandy beaches and ice cold glasses of lemonade are reminiscent of summer, while warm cozy fires and well-crafted snowmen remind us of winter. In the September 2013 edition of Rolling Stone, the Starbucks Coffee Company portrays its seasonal drink, the pumpkin spice latte, as a key component and emotional ingredient of autumn. Starbucks skillfully employs a combination of warm brown colors and autumnal images with a creative font to appeal to the audience and remind them that a pumpkin spice latte is necessary to completely immerse oneself in the fall season.
* In order to satisfy demand for more wholesome food and beverage request for non-coffee drinkers, Starbucks started offering fruit cups, yogurt parfaits, skinny lattes, banana walnut bread, a 300-calorie farmer’s market salad with all natural dressing and a line of “better-for-you” smoothies called Vivanno Nourishing Blends. Lower-calorie selections were added to the bakery cases and food items on the Starbucks menu were
The most recognized cup in the world is no doubt a Red Solo Cup. So what is this frenzy over a new “red” cup? Believe it or not it is that time of year when Starbucks releases their holiday cups for the winter season. Again just as they have done in the past, they’ve started using their holiday cups. For those who don’t know Starbucks has used a holiday cup since 1997, but this year’s cup has become a silly subject of controversy.
Starbucks recently unveiled a new single-serving home brewer. Starbucks has always made their coffee available at home. They were presently offering their coffee beans for home brewing; sells premixed bottled frappuccinos; and recently started selling Via which is instant Starbucks coffee. So, being able to brew Starbucks’ coffee at home isn’t a new concept. However, now Starbucks has an added twist with its new top notch coffee system, the Verismo. The Verismo is in alignment with Starbucks’ commitment to bring exceptional coffee and espresso beverages to their customers. In fact, in being able to offer customers these products at home, Starbucks has once again raised the bar (Starbucks Newsroom, 2012).
Café Coffee Day (CCD) is an Indian coffee retailer that was established in 1995. Founded by V.G. Siddhartha, this company has quickly grown to become the leading coffee retailer in India with 60% of the market share, 1,469 locations, and 22,000 vending machines throughout the country. (Yoffie) What makes Café Coffee Day special is its complete ownership of its coffee beans from the growing at its plantations to the brewing in its retail outlets. CCD is owned by Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading Company Limited, which owns and produces coffee beans from its own plantations and these coffee beans are the same ones that are used at Café Coffee Day. Due to ABC’s ownership of its own plantations it has no middle man that would increase costs to CCD.
Coffee is a commodity product in which Starbucks specialize in, but consuming coffee as a lifestyle commodity is a fascinating multifaceted prospect. Howard Shultz discovered coffee as a lifestyle commodity by observing the interactions of socialites and baristas, in a lively setting with espresso machines (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014, p. 519). Shultz recognized the need for an interactive ambiance surrounding the experience of foreign coffee and did well with establishing his vision as such. Shultz vision was detailed, he aimed to create a coffee establishment that would recreate the Italian bar culture and it would become the “Third Place,” the place between home and work, where people gather, relax and interact (2014, p.519). By establishing
This quaint, little cafe was a love child of two theatre artists, who loved coffee but always struggled to get great ones at equally great prices. The menu had a variety of coffee choices; from freshly brewed ones to handcrafted and hand-beaten ones – options were galore. Now, we all love cold coffees. Add a little bit of chocolate to it and that’s heaven in a tall glass. Also, they have great finger food choices on the menu. So, if you are tired of shopping at the mall and want to grab a quick bite, you know where to go.

This year, they are a simple red cup with a light color on the top that shades into a deep red on the bottom of the cup. So why are some people so angry about it?

We live in a good time. Think of just a few decades ago, when the idea of iced coffee was foreign, a frappes we’re just a glimmer in the eye of its hot-coffee parents. But as we’ve stepped into a future full of iPhones and Amazon delivery drones, thank the coffee gods we’ve got great iced drinks!
When summer 's wet, humid heat drags us down we all need a frosty pick-me-up. Yet so many ice-blended drinks are high in calories, sugar and fat. Here are some easy ideas you can make on your own with just a few, simple ingredients. You don 't have to have an espresso maker, you can just use instant espresso powder or some strongly brewed coffee. Make your own frappucino. Blend together equal parts cooled espresso, skim or soymilk, with Splenda to taste and lots of crushed ice. If you want to add more flavor spoon in a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa and a splash of vanilla or almond extract. You can also use flavored soymilk or milk, such as chocolate or vanilla. There are also fat free coffee creamers that add a lot of richness to these frozen drinks and they come in a variety of exotic flavors such as Irish Cream and Amaretto. If you 're craving something sweeter try blending cooled espresso with lowfat chocolate, mocha, or your personal favorite flavor of frozen yogurt along with a big scoop of frozen light whipped topping. Pour into tall glasses and add an extra dollop of whipped topping for garnish. A crisp, cool drink perfect for either sipping on the patio or in front of your computer is to pour cooled espresso over ice and a sprig of mint, and sweeten with honey to taste. The ice, honey and mint will even out the bitterness of the espresso, but you can add skim or soymilk if you prefer. For an Indonesian flair, pour a few tablespoons of fat free
It was an average day in a local coffee shop. My life was average,nothing exciting. I lived in an average apartment in an average town. I worked an average job and went home and did average things. That is until I went to that average coffee shop on that average day. I was sitting at the table doing my last minute assignment for work. I looked up and saw a gorgeous girl walk in the coffee shop. She saw me too. I wasn’t the kind of person to go up to someone I didn’t know and start talking to them. Thankfully she was though. She came up to me and smiled, she told me her name was Aubree and I told her my name was Blair. Little did I know I had just met the person that would bring excitement to my life.
