Overview
We purchase and roast high-quality whole bean coffees and sell them, along with fresh, rich-
brewed coffees, Italian-style espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, a variety of
complementary food items, coffee-related accessories and equipment, a selection of premium

distribution. Our brand portfolio includes superpremium Tazo® teas, Starbucks Hear Music®

Change of Control Triggering
Upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control Triggering
Event
Event," as defined under "Description of Notes -- Purchase
of Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event," we will
be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a
price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the
date of repurchase.

Ranking
The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our
other unsecured senior indebtedness, whether currently
existing or incurred in the future. As of July 1, 2007, we had
$880 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured
senior indebtedness outstanding. The notes will be senior in
right of payment to our subordinated indebtedness, and will
be effectively junior in right of payment to our secured
indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral
securing that indebtedness. The notes will not be
guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and thus will be
effectively subordinated to any existing or future
indebtedness or other liabilities, including trade payables, of
any of our subsidiaries.

Certain Covenants
The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that,
among other things, will limit our ability to:

· incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for
borrowed money secured by a lien upon any principal
property or shares of stock or indebtedness of any
subsidiary that owns any principal property;

· enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; and

· consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or
substantially all of our assets to, any other party.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and
qualifications that are described under the heading
"Description of Notes -- Certain Covenants -- Limitation on
Liens," "-- Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions"
and "-- Limitation on Mergers and Other Transactions" in
this prospectus supplement.

Ratings
The notes are rated Baa1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
and BBB+ by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, in each
case with a stable outlook.

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay
indebtedness outstanding under a 364-day credit facility we
entered into on August 7, 2007 and for other general
corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of our
other indebtedness outstanding from time to time and the
repurchase of our common stock under our ongoing share
repurchase program as updated and approved by our board
of directors.

Form and Denomination
The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. The notes
will be represented by one or more global notes in fully
registered form
