Need a coffee to kick-start the day? Starbucks is offering the chance for one lucky reader to win a months supply of Starbucks VIA Ready BrewTM. There’s also the chance to win a treat for you and your colleagues when a Starbucks barista comes to make the coffee round for you.

Research shows that over 57 million rounds of coffee and tea are made in businesses across the UK every day. Although making a hot brew is a sure fire way to impress your boss, that’s a lot of time spent in the kitchen and away from your desk.

It’s no surprise then that although a simple hot drink may be the perfect way to promotional heaven, only 19 per cent of people regularly volunteer for this task.

Starbucks VIA Ready BrewTM is teaming up with Richmond and Twickenham Times to make coffee time at work a great deal tastier by offering a month’s supply of this great new coffee. Starbucks VIA Ready BrewTM is real ground, high-quality Arabica coffee sourced from three percent of the world’s top supply of coffee. It’s filter coffee, but made in an instant. It is full-flavoured and rich, subtle, bright and delicious. Starbucks VIA™ delivers the same rich body, acidity, aroma and freshness you’d expect from Starbucks.

It comes in two varieties; nutty, smooth Colombian and rich, bold Italian Roast. To stand a chance of winning a month’s supply of VIA and the chance for a Starbucks VIA barista to come and make the morning coffee for work, simply email, write or tweet in 140 characters, why you love great coffee. The best answers will be selected and a barista will be sent to the winner’s place of work. A runner up will also win the month’s supply of VIA.
