Free tea & coffee deals

When you buy £1.81 hot drink

If you're visiting pub chain Wetherspoon (find your nearest), you can get unlimited free refills on hot drinks including tea and coffee.

There's no code or voucher needed, Wetherspoons says the free refills will be available across the following self-serve hot drinks:

• flat white

• cappuccino

• latte

• white coffee

• black coffee

• espresso

• Twinings tea

You'll just need to buy one hot drink to begin with (in most pubs these cost £1.81 or less, though prices differ depending on location) at the bar, then you can refill as many times as you like.

In some High Street pubs, hot drinks are £1.04, but at airports, such as Birmingham, they're £3.50 – either way, if you're getting refills, we still think this is a decent offer.

This offer runs all day from pub opening time until closing, every day of the week. Take-away cups are also available for any hot drink, so you can take a refill to go with you as well.

When you buy £1.95 self-serve hot drink

If you're visiting any Morrisons Café (find your nearest*), you can get unlimited free refills on hot drinks including lattes, cappuccinos and fruit teas.

There's no code or voucher needed, Morrisons says the free refills will be available across self-serve hot drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos and fruit teas. You'll just need to buy one hot drink to begin with (from £1.95) at the till, then you can refill as many times as you like.

This offer runs all day from café opening time until closing, every day of the week and includes alternative milks. There's currently no end date to the offer, and Morrisons told us it'll be ongoing during the winter months. This is dine-in offer only.

For Octopus Energy customers with a smart meter only

If you're a member of Octoplus Rewards, you can claim one free drink each week, in-store from either Caffè Nero or Greggs.

How to get it

Octoplus Rewards is free to join for Octopus Energy customers with a smart meter. If you're eligible, you can sign up via its website or app.

Every morning, Octopus releases free hot drink codes – we've seen online that they seem to get snapped up by around 7am, so you'll need to set your alarm. You have to use your code in the same week you claim it on your account. Codes expire every Sunday at 11.59pm.

You can only redeem one drink per week, either from Caffè Nero or Greggs.

When you arrive at either Caffè Nero (find your nearest) or Greggs (find your nearest), select 'reveal offer' in the Octoplus tab of the Octopus app. When you're ready to pay, select 'activate offer' and show the staff member your QR code.

Caffè Nero lets you choose selected hot or cold drinks, whereas the Greggs freebie must be a 'regular' size hot drink. For exclusions, see more info below.

Warning: When you click 'activate offer' you'll only have a limited time to redeem it, so make sure staff at the till are ready before you activate it.

When you sign up to the Greggs app

If you download and sign up to the Greggs app, you can get a totally free hot or iced drink – you don't need to buy anything, this is a total freebie.

The free hot or iced drink will appear automatically in the 'Wallet' section of the app once signed in, and you'll have 31 days to redeem it in-store.

If you give Greggs your date of birth when signing up, you'll also get a free sweet treat (such as a doughnut or cupcake) during your birthday month. See our full round-up of Birthday freebies.

Every day with its loyalty card when you bring your own cup

If you sign up for a myWaitrose loyalty card - you can get a free regular-sized tea or coffee in-store every day from the self-serve machine, when you use your own reusable cup in selected stores. You can choose from americano, cappuccino, latte or tea.

If you haven't got one already, you'll receive your physical myWaitrose loyalty card within five weeks of signing up via the link above. Alternatively, you can download a myWaitrose card via the app (free in the App Store or Google Play).

Simply swipe your card at the till – you can then go and get your free drink using your reusable cup. You need to scan your loyalty card in order to use the machine and redeem your drink.

Why do I have to provide my own cup? Waitrose used to hand out disposable coffee cups for this freebie, but in 2018 it stopped this for environmental reasons (see our Waitrose ditches disposable cups MSE News story). For where else you can save with a reusable cup, see our own-cup discounts blog.

Weekdays only with an Ikea Family card

When you shop in store at Ikea (find your nearest), you can get a free cup of tea or filter coffee (normally £1.50) when you swipe an Ikea Family card at the in-store restaurant. Ikea Family is its free loyalty scheme, and you can sign up online or in store.

You can get the free hot drink Monday to Friday at all stores except Brighton, Hammersmith, Oxford Street, Aberdeen Order and Collection Point, Plan and Order Points. Ikea says that one hot drink can be redeemed per IKEA family card.
