Man aims to have coffee in every Starbucks

200x190.jpgA coffee-mad computer programmer is on a caffeine-fueled quest to visit every Starbucks store in the world.

37-year-old Winter from Houston in the US has already visited over 9,000 stores where his coffee purchases have cost him a massive £60,000 (isn't that just two frappachinos and a slice of cheesecake).

This week Winter arrived in the UK to do coffee-drinking battle with our 400 Starbucks stores and has also visited Japan, Spain and Hong Kong in his quest.

He estimates thats he has only 3,000 stores left to visit in the world, of course that is until Starbucks opens more ... last year when we covered his story he only had 700 left to see.
"Since 1997 I have been on a personal mission to visit every Starbucks in the world," said Winter.

"My original motivation was simply to accomplish something singularly unique."

"However, since that time, I have discovered many joys in the traveling and the challenge of my mission, and they help keep me going despite the ever-increasing difficulty."
