This is how you can get a FREE hot drink at Costa Coffee TODAY

COSTA could be about to make your Monday morning caffeine fix much more satisfying.

The coffee chain will today be handing out free coffees in 2,000 of its stores across the UK.

To claim a drink, customers will just need to bring a takeaway coffee from any food or drink chain excluding Costa.

You'll be then available to swap it for one of the chain's primo-size coffees of your choice including Americano, Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Espresso, Cortado or Mocha.

Customers can customise their drinks with a shot of their favourite syrup and/or an extra coffee shot at their request for no extra cost.

The promotion comes as part of Costa's #CrimesAgainstCoffee campaign, a one-day coffee swap which aims to fight mediocre coffee.

"We’ve created the coffee swap initiative because we believe each and every customer deserves a great tasting cup."

Coffee lovers slurp down a whopping 70 million cups of coffee a day, purchased from big coffee chains, fast food joints and posh independent coffee shop.

A number of coffee chains including Starbucks, Costa and Pret a Manger also introduced a 25p discount for customers who supply their own reusable cup.

But you might want to think twice before having a coffee from a high street chain shop.

An investigation by BBC One's Watchdog carried out this summer in Costa, Starbucks and Caffe Nero discovered traces of poo in some of their drinks.

Faecal coliforms, which contain disease-causing pathogens, were present on 7/10 ice samples in Costa, 3/10 in Caffe Nero and 3/10 in Starbucks, according to the investigation.
