London, a city where creativity and innovation have always flourished, provides a significant home for Starbucks and a significant gateway into Europe,
Starbucks being an extension of peoples home and work. The sense of community, human connection. That appears to be as relevant in Turkey, China, Japan and Spain as it is here in America. And Starbucks I think is creating something for people all over the world that has not existed before.
When I first discovered in the early 1980s the Italian espresso bars in my trip to Italy, the vision was to re-create that for America - a third place that had not existed before. Starbucks re-created that in America in our own image; a place to go other than home or work. We also created an industry that did not exist: specialty coffee.
I probably have about four or five cups of coffee a day. I make myself an espresso macchiato when I wake, which is a shot of espresso and just a dollop of steamed milk. Then, if I'm going to do some work at home, I would make myself a French press. It's the best way to make conventional coffee.
Social and digital media is a bullet train, and that bullet train is not coming home.

Elite teams have to demonstrate consistency. That's the challenge now, and certainly that's the expectation.
Providing our customers with innovative and unique ways to discover and acquire all genres of great music is another way we are enhancing the Starbucks Experience,
Prior to the end of the calendar year, Starbucks will be taking a modest price increase,
We are as passionate about our commitment to our communities as we are about achieving financial success.
We establish the value of buying a product at Starbucks by our uncompromising quality and by building a personal relationship with each customer. Starbucks is rekindling America's love affair with coffee, bringing romance and fresh flavor back to the brew.
I would hope congressional leaders put this at the front of their agenda,
We can't be expected to continue to lose millions of dollars every year.
I think from his speech and his remarks, we see a genuine and authentic feeling of wanting not only an open relationship with (our) country but also a genuine commitment to making sure these are stages of growth and development for our two nations.
