This article focuses on the role of Starbucks Coffee Co.'s employees in Bagram Air base in Afghanistan. There's no heat, no comfy sofas, but the coffee is from Starbucks and the baristas are former Starbucks employees, now in the service, who have volunteered their time to operate the espresso machine. Starbucks, fully aware of this outlaw outpost, says it has no problem with the use of its name. Scott Matthews, a member of the California Guard, thought of the idea, ordered the coffeemaker on the Internet, and got his sister and her co-employees, who work at a Starbucks in California, to donate the beans.
