How to get free Costa coffee
The free coffee promotion has been introduced to try and change public perception of coffee making machines.
Scott Martin, managing director at Costa Express, said, “The coffee industry is booming with no sign of our love affair with the drink slowing, as it’s estimated 95 million cups are consumed a day.

Freeze-dried coffee, long life milk, clumpy soups and bland hot chocolate were readily stocked in machines across the late nineties and early noughties, so we can imagine how one poor experience is enough to put someone off for life.
“We at Costa Express don’t believe this is acceptable and have worked tirelessly to revolutionise the self-serve experience. Our machines serve the same fresh signature Mocha Italia coffee beans and fresh semi-skimmed milk you would expect in our Costa Coffee stores, so the quality of your experience is never compromised.”
How to claim
The best part about the offer is that you don’t need to do anything to claim it - on Tuesday 1 October, all participating Costa Express machines in the UK will be free of charge for 24 hours.
