FULL STORY
======================================================================

Just a bit over a week after a major AWS outage, it seems something else is 
brewing and not in a good way. Starbucks is currently experiencing an outage 
that has has completely taken down mobile ordering. Meaning, if you want a 
Cold Brew, an Iced Chai Latte, or even a warmed piece of banana bread, you'll 
need to chat with a barista in store. 

At the same time that 'We're sorry for the inconvenience' hit the Starbucks 
app, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and Minecraft are experiencing major 
blips  see our live blog here. Of course, impacted folks are all going to 
Downdetector, where a number of services are seeing a spike. 

But since we're coffee lovers, we're spinning up a live blog to track this 
outage affecting Starbucks as well as the issues hitting Xbox and Minecraft, 
and the team at TechRadar is checking whether any other services are 
affected. Starbucks is at least being transparent with the issue (Image

Unlike some other companies or services, which tend to take a while to 
confirm issues or outages, Starbucks is at least being transparent. As soon 
as you open the Starbucks app on an Android or iOS device, you'll see a 
pop-up that starts with "We're sorry for the inconvenience" and explains that 
mobile ordering is down.
