You can grab a free Costa Coffee from Costa Express machines today - so where are they in County Durham and what can you get?

To mark International Coffee Day on October 1 2019, the cafe chain is offering a free Costa Coffee to the public.

But the free Costa Coffee offer won't be available from Costa stores: it's only from the Costa Express machines. These are the coffee machines that you find across County Durham in places such as petrol stations, supermarkets and leisure centres.

The machines won't be taking money, so everything should be available when you grab your free Costa Coffee, including syrups and shots.

The Costa Express machines offer a range of drinks, including Americano, Latte, Espresso, Cappuccino and hot chocolate.

Available at more than 8,500 participating Costa Express machines nationwide, the offer kicked off at 12.15am on Tuesday October 1 and will end at 12.15am on Wednesday October 2.

You can also download the app and scan it when you get your free Costa Coffee, which will enter you into a prize draw to win goodies such as free Costa Coffee for a year.

We've taken a look on the Costa store locator (costa.co.uk/locations/store-locator) to see where the Costa Express machines are located in County Durham to grab your free Costa Coffee - there are more on the map but we've picked out those in the main towns. We recommend checking with the venue where the Costa Express machine is located before getting your coffee, to check what you can get.
