Recently, Sebastian Birr mailed me some in-store Starbucks pamphlets from Turkey.  I have no idea what these pamphlets really say but I thought it would be fun to show them off here.  If you want to tour Starbucks stores in Turkey, I have a blog post about them here: A Tour of Starbucks in Turkey [...]

Coffee grounds with a blonde top! (A blonde on the Clover)

January 13, 2012
Thumbnail image for Coffee grounds with a blonde top! (A blonde on the Clover)

A regular reader of StarbucksMelody.com emailed me with this photo he took at his store, demonstrating the coffee-grounds “puck” from the Clover when a blonde roast coffee is brewed through the Clover.  I thought it was an interesting picture since the coffee grounds distinctly do have a blonde top to them!  I don’t think I’ve [...]

January 9, 2012
Thumbnail image for A mini Starbucks store review: The little University Village store.

If you are visiting Seattle’s University Village shopping center, there are two company-operated Starbucks stores.  One is very large and is well-known.  The other is a tiny little store about two blocks (or less) away near the Crate and Barrel store.  The large Starbucks store tends to get a lot of attention, and is a [...]

Thumbnail image for Featured Clover Starbucks – 12th and Columbia in Seattle

Time for another store review! I decided to stop by the Starbucks on the corner of the 12th Avenue and Columbia, which is located near Seattle University in Seattle.  It added a Clover brewer last year (I think it was in the spring of 2011) and got its major remodel at about the same time [...]

UK launches a new version of Starbucks Card rewards tomorrow (Jan., 5, 2012)

January 4, 2012

There are Starbucks Card rewards all over the globe, but the perks vary from place to place.  I do not profess to be a Starbucks card expert.  I think I understand the U.S. rewards backwards and forwards, but I am far less adept at talking about the international versions.  Both in an email from a [...]

Happy New Year to all my readers!  Have you made any resolutions for 2012?  Don’t forget that you can bring in your tumbler (meaning the limited promo tumbler) for free coffee refills during the month of January.  The previous article about that promotion is here. I decided to start the new year with a blank [...]

What’s the story behind this 1997 Starbucks whole bean poster?

December 29, 2011
Thumbnail image for What’s the story behind this 1997 Starbucks whole bean poster?

Attached is an image of a poster advertising Starbucks whole bean coffee.  The little bag at the lower right features ‘Bella Vista’ Starbucks coffee.  The very small print dates the poster to 1997.  It’s an interesting image.  Definitely the kind of poster that makes me take a second look and ask, ‘What is the story [...]
