Reusable cups, free refills, and condiments

While Starbucks' to-go cups are already iconic, the transition to ceramic mugs and glass cups marks a significant move towards sustainability for the company. By serving drinks "for here" in reusable containers instead of single-use cups and lids, Starbucks significantly cuts down on waste. This initiative aligns perfectly with the new refill policy.
Instead of providing a new cup for refills, Starbucks baristas can simply refill a ceramic mug or glass, which helps minimize the number of cups used each day. It remains unclear whether drinks like Starbucks' new Cortado or other special and seasonal offerings are part of the updated refill policy. However, generally, hot or iced coffee and tea (excluding cold brew, iced tea lemonade, and flavored iced tea) qualify for free refills for customers dining in.
The free refills also complement the return of the condiment bar. Customers who choose to enjoy their drinks "for here" can savor delicious coffee and tea, customized to their preferences with a variety of creamers, milk, and sweeteners. Overall, these changes aim to encourage customers to relax and fully enjoy their experience at their local Starbucks.
