In case you missed the news, Starbucks now offers free refills. Is the coffee giant refilling every drink for free? Not exactly. If you order a specialty beverage such as a latte or frappuccino, you won’t get another one on the house.

These customers will be able to enjoy free refills on hot brewed or iced coffee, or hot or iced tea during their visit. Starbucks says folks must have their first beverage served in a ceramic mug, glass or personal cup — no disposable vessels — to receive free refills.
