Buzzfeed is reporting that during an earnings call Thursday, Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz announced that the coffee chain would begin offering delivery service in some cities beginning next year.

“Imagine the ability to create a standing order of Starbucks delivered hot to your desk daily. That’s our version of e-commerce on steroids,” he said, according to Buzzfeed.

This is the second time Starbucks has jolted the caffeine community this month. On Oct. 17, the company said it would be giving away a lifetime supply – technically one drink or food item every day for 30 years – to 10 lucky members of its Starbucks Rewards program, USA Today reported. To be eligible, you can pay with a Starbucks Card or through the coffee chain’s app beginning Dec. 2 until Christmas.
