One sceptically remarked: "Not once have I thought I would like to have a dessert blended with coffee." Another was taken aback by the cost, quipping: "£5.45 each".

"Introducing new products and tiers for Star redemption and refining Gold Level status, including amending the Gold Level threshold to 2500 Stars. "Meanwhile, your Star value, credit, any free drinks and Reward status remain the same throughout the update." The company also reassured customers that Stars would still be redeemable for up to two years and could now be used across a wider range of items.
