It happens millions of times each week – a customer receives a drink from a Starbucks barista – but each interaction is unique.
It’s just a moment in time – just one hand reaching over the counter to present a cup to another outstretched hand. But it’s a connection. "At Starbucks®, we make sure everything we do honours that connection – from our commitment to the finest quality coffee, to the way we engage with our customers and communities to do business responsibly. From Starbucks® beginnings as a single store, in every place we’ve been, and every place we touch, we’ve tried to make it a little better than we found it."
The Starbucks Mission
From the beginning, Starbucks® set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. Our mission is to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighbourhood at a time.
More Than Coffee
"To say Starbucks® purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees is very true. That’s the essence of what we do – but it hardly tells the whole story. Starbucks® coffeehouses have become a beacon for coffee lovers everywhere. Why do they insist on going to a Starbucks® coffeehouse? Because they know they can count on genuine service, an inviting atmosphere and a superb cup of expertly roasted and richly brewed coffee every time." [Source]
