Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Because let's face it, it's pretty hard to find a branch of Starbucks and it's not like they're on every street corner, the coffee chain is to start taking delivery orders later this year.
Delivery service Postmates will facilitate the delivery of your caffeine fix, starting in Seattle in the second half of 2015 before rolling out nationwide (no sign of a UK launch yet).
"We are excited to announce a collaboration with Starbucks that offers customers the ultimate convenience: food and beverage ordering through the Starbucks mobile app with delivery by Postmates," it wrote on its blog. "Working together, we will enable Starbucks customers to order their favorite Starbucks products and have it delivered to them without leaving their home or office."
The move follows similar ones made by other food brands trying to cater to the lethargic market.
Last month, Burger King started trialling a scheme whereby whoppers are delivered to UK doorsteps.
