How to Guides

Let's get started

The first step is to download the latest version of the Costa Coffee app. Then, you'll need to set up your account, or log in if you already have one.

Download the app

get 1 free in store

1. Open the app in store and tap 'Shop'. Scan the QR code that appears in the app at the till.

2. If you're ordering from a Costa Express, tap 'Machine' in the app instead. Whilst your drink is being made, tap 'Collect beans only' and scan the code displayed on the machine's screen.

3. You'll get 1 bean with every Costa crafted drink you buy. Just collect 8 beans to get a free drink!

Redeem your
free drink in store

1. Come in store once you've collected 8 beans and select ‘Rewards’ in the app. Your free drink will be waiting for you.

2. Tap the 'Free drink' reward and then 'Use now'. You can redeem your free drinks at once, or save them for later - you'll have up to 6 months to decide.

3. A QR code will appear for you to scan as normal at the till.
