If you’re dragging a little today after a long night of Super Bowl highs, lows, Bad Bunny memes and snacks, Starbucks has just the thing. The chain is giving away free coffee today, February 9. It's a welcome perk on a hazy Monday morning, a direct result of the Seahawks winning last night's Super Bowl—after all, Starbucks is a Seattle-based company.

This morning, the chain posted a social video celebrating the Seahawks’ 29–13 win over the Patriots with the caption “the only thing Seattle lost was sleep.” How good?

Here’s how it works. Starbucks Rewards members can get a free 12-ounce hot or iced coffee with the purchase of any qualifying beverage of equal or greater value. Ready-to-drink options and alcohol are excluded, and the deal is limited to one per customer. You can find the offer in the Starbucks app, so you’ll want that downloaded before your coffee run.

The free coffee comes in a special-edition paper cup, too. Starbucks is rolling out a green throwback cup wrapped in the brand’s original logo, a nod to its Seattle roots. It's also debuting a new 1971 Roast, named for the year the company opened its very first store in Pike Place Market. According to Starbucks, the new coffee is bold and complex but finishes smooth and velvety. Coffee developer Sergio Alvarez, who started as a part-time barista at the original Pike Place store, calls it “the best of two worlds.” The free coffee deal is a perfect opportunity to try it.

If you're not a Rewards member yet, signing up is free and takes just a minute. Then you'll be able to claim the free coffee deal. Regardless of who you were backing in the Big Game yesterday, you'll be a winner with this free coffee deal from Starbucks.
