Millions of people will be able to claim a free hot drink today thanks to a promotion being run by coffee chain Costa Coffee.
The retailer will be giving out unlimited hot drinks - including hot chocolate - until stores close on Tuesday.
However, your local branch won't be participating - instead, the offer will be running at Express machines only .
This means if your local Marks & Spencer, Co-op, fuel station, or other high street store has a Costa Coffee to-go machine - you'll be able to grab a drink for free today.
As part of the offer, you'll be able to take your pick from anything on the Express machine's menu, including Americano, Latte, Espresso and Cappuccino, or even just a good old hot chocolate.
With none of the Express machines taking money, you'll also be able to personalise your beverage too, completely free of charge, adding syrups to your drink.
Available at over 8,500 participating Costa Express machines nationwide, the offer kicks off at 00:15am on Tuesday 1 October 2019 (or whenever your nearest shop with an Express machine opens), ending at 00:15 on Wednesday 2 October 2019.

Managing director, Scott Martin at Costa Express said: “The coffee industry is booming with no sign of our love affair with the drink slowing, as it’s estimated 95 million cups are consumed a day.
"We at Costa Express don’t believe this is acceptable and have worked tirelessly to revolutionise the self-serve experience.
"Our machines serve the same fresh signature Mocha Italia coffee beans and fresh semi-skimmed milk you would expect in our Costa Coffee stores, so the quality of your experience is never compromised.
"We’re so confident that once you’ve tried a cup from Costa Express that it’ll fast become a regular part of your routine, so for one day only, we’re giving away a free drink to all."
