In case you missed the news, Starbucks now offers free refills. Is the coffee giant refilling every drink for free? Not exactly. If you order a specialty beverage such as a latte or frappuccino, you won’t get another one on the house.

These customers will be able to enjoy free refills on hot brewed or iced coffee, or hot or iced tea during their visit. Starbucks says folks must have their first beverage served in a ceramic mug, glass or personal cup — no disposable vessels — to receive free refills.

Starbucks is bringing back free refills and a condiment station, but there are few rules to be able to use these services.

Starbucks is implementing new and old policies at its cafes in the United States and Canada to improve the customer experience. Beginning on Monday, customers who order a “for here” beverage can also get free refills of hot or iced coffee or hot or iced tea during their visit.

The free refills will be served in coffee mugs, glasses, or a clean personal cup brought from home and are only available on the same visit at one store. The refills excludes Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew, Iced Tea Lemonade, flavored Iced Tea and Starbucks Refreshers® base. Initial purchase must be made in a reusable cup or “for-here” serveware.

Starting today, you may start to notice a few big changes at your local Starbucks. As a part of their Back to Starbucks initiative, the coffee chain is implementing some exciting newness to their in-store ordering process.
