The program commences on Mondays starting from September 28, when for every cup of Today's Coffee purchased at Starbucks outlets across the country, the company will donate an equivalent amount of coffee. This initiative draws inspiration from the notion of presenting a cup of coffee to a personal \"star\" — someone who has quietly provided support and encouragement.\n\nUnder the \"My Star Coffee\" scheme, Starbucks pledges to provide one additional cup of coffee for each cup of brewed coffee bought by a customer.
