In addition to releasing the new holiday-inspired coffee mugs, the holiday many and reusable red cups will also return to stores nationwide starting November 7th. To top off the good news in the “holiday spirit,” Starbucks has also responded to customer complaints regarding pricing on upcharges to substitute non-dairy milk options.

According to Starbucks, replacing dairy milk with non-dairy substitutes, such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk, is the second-most requested substitution in drinks. Previously, the company would charge for substitutions. However, customers will no longer be charged for this order substitution starting on November 7th.

Coffee Tree

I recently discovered what, I think, is the most remarkable fun fact about how coffee is made. Coffee plants take three to four years to reach maturity, where they begin to produce the "coffee cherries" or "fruit" that contains the coffee beans we know and love. After years of drinking coffee, knowing this fun fact makes me appreciate the journey from growing to roasting even more.

Even after the lengthy growing and harvesting stage, coffee beans still have many other steps until they can be enjoyed. Coffee beans go through various stages, such as processing, drying, and roasting, before they are even packaged for coffee drinkers. Below, learn more about how coffee is made through a step-by-step breakdown of each stage.
