Japan’s First! The “Starbucks-Exclusive Vending Machine” Debuts, Bringing the Starbucks Experience Closer Than Ever

*AI Translated

Starbucks Corporation and Suntory Beverage & Food will begin rolling out Japan’s first-ever “Starbucks Exclusive Vending Machines” nationwide starting in mid-September 2026.

Enjoy Starbucks Coffee Anytime, Anywhere: The “Starbucks Exclusive Vending Machine”

To make Starbucks beverages even more accessible, Japan’s first “Starbucks Exclusive Vending Machines” will be gradually introduced across the country. These vending machines will offer four products: the newly launched bottled coffee “Starbucks® COFFEE SIGNATURES BLACK” (available from Tuesday, September 15), the renewed vending machine exclusive “Starbucks® MY RETREAT® Caramel Macchiato” (also available from September 15), as well as the popular “Starbucks® MY COFFEE TIME™ Black” and “Starbucks® MY COFFEE TIME™ Café Latte,” both of which have been well received since their release in November last year.

The vending machines feature a design based on the brand’s signature green and a premium black, with a large Siren logo—an iconic symbol of the brand—displayed on the side. The front showcases the brand message, “Enjoy Starbucks anytime, anywhere,” along with images depicting various drinking occasions, allowing customers to experience the Starbucks world when choosing their beverage.

Starbucks Exclusive Vending Machine Product Lineup

The following four products will be available not only in the “Starbucks Exclusive Vending Machines” but will also be gradually introduced in Suntory vending machines nationwide.

“Starbucks® COFFEE SIGNATURES BLACK” – New Release on Tuesday, September 15

This is the only product in Starbucks’ RTD* beverage lineup in Japan to use “Espresso Roast Beans,” resulting in a rich aroma and a bold, satisfying flavor. You can enjoy a cup with a deep coffee taste, featuring a robust aroma, full-bodied richness, and a lingering roasted aftertaste. The number “1971,” symbolizing Starbucks’ passion for coffee and dedication to roasting since its founding, is layered behind the Siren logo, creating a simple yet stylish design.

*RTD stands for Ready To Drink. Here, it refers to chilled cup, PET bottle, or canned coffee beverages that are ready to drink as is.

“Starbucks® MY RETREAT® Caramel Macchiato” – Renewed Release on Tuesday, September 15

Made with carefully selected Starbucks coffee, this Caramel Macchiato offers the perfect balance of rich, sweet caramel flavor and full-bodied milk. Now available in a renewed package, the design features the iconic green logo at the center and a pattern inspired by smooth caramel sauce, expressing a sense of mellow, indulgent sweetness. The soft gradient colors are designed to evoke a feeling of comfort.

“Starbucks® MY COFFEE TIME™ Black”

This black coffee is part of a short can coffee series made with carefully selected Arabica beans, chosen specifically for Starbucks RTD* in Japan. The bitterness and astringency are kept to a minimum, resulting in a richly aromatic coffee. Its flavor is designed to accompany moments when you want to gently shift your mood, even amidst a busy daily life. The package features a bold black base with an illustration of a calm brown window motif, expressing both the fragrant aroma of black coffee and a sense of relaxation.

“Starbucks® MY COFFEE TIME™ Café Latte”

This café latte blends the signature deep-roasted coffee aroma and richness unique to Starbucks with milk in a perfectly balanced way, allowing you to fully enjoy the rich flavor of the milk. The package design features the brand’s signature green as the base color, with an illustration of a white semi-oval window motif, expressing the smoothness and creamy texture of the milk. The result is a gentle and approachable design.
