While We Are A Coffee Company At Heart, Starbucks Provides Much More Than The Best Cup Of Coffee—we Offer A Community Gathering Place Where People Come Together To Connect And Discover New Things.

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.

We Want Passion For Our Business.. Workers Who Can Interpret And Execute Our Mission, Who Want To Build A Career, Not Just Take A Temporary Job.

In Many Places Where Coffee Is Grown, Deforestation Is A Major Issue. With Starbucks' Position In The Marketplace And The Respect And Relationships We Have, We Can - And Have, In Some Cases - Been Able To Educate And Influence People.

I Do Think - As Self-serving As It Sounds - That I Was The Right Person, Given The Very, Very Strong Headwind We Had From The Economy And Our Own Issues, To Come Back And Rewrite The Future Of The Company.
