Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Plan Administrator
Starbucks Corporation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan - 1995
Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the Starbucks Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan - 1995 (the Plan) as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and equity for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Starbucks Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan - 1995 as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and equity for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE A - PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following description of the Starbucks Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan - 1995 (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan prospectus for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

1.      General

The Plan Administrator believes the Plan meets the qualification standards of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Plan generally covers all regular employees of Starbucks Corporation (the Company) who have been employed for at least 90 days and have been paid an average of approximately 20 hours or more per week during the three months preceding the quarterly offering.

2.      Contributions

Participants may make contributions in whole percent increments to the Plan through payroll deductions (not exceeding 10% of their base pay) for the purpose of purchasing the Company’s common stock. The Plan commenced on July 1, 1995, and participants may purchase shares on each subsequent September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30, until such time as the Plan is terminated (see Termination of the Plan). A maximum of 16,000,000 shares will be offered under the Plan.

3.      Purchases and withdrawals

Participants may elect to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value on the first or last business day of each three-month period ending September 30, December 31, March 31, or June 30. If a participant elects to withdraw from the Plan, or exceeds the $25,000 limit (see Limitations), the Company refunds the participant for amounts withheld but not yet used to purchase shares. The Plan purchased 807,478 shares during the year ended June 30, 2004 at prices ranging from $20.87 to $32.50; 965,032 shares during the year ended June 30, 2003 at prices ranging from $16.58 to $20.87; and 1,032,808 shares during the year ended June 30, 2002, at prices ranging from $12.58 to $19.81 per share. The Plan has purchased a total of 6,460,529 shares since the beginning of the Plan, leaving 9,539,471 shares reserved for future issue.

4.      Assets

Assets are comprised of cash in participant accounts that were less than the amount necessary to purchase a full share, and cash contributed to the Plan greater than the cost of the maximum number of shares allowed to be purchased in any one calendar year (see Limitations). Fractional share amounts are deferred and are carried over to the next period.

No employee shall be permitted to subscribe for any shares under the Plan if such employee would then own shares representing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company. Additionally, no participant may purchase shares under the Plan with an aggregate fair market value (determined at the time such right to subscribe is granted) in excess of $25,000 in any one calendar year. Contribution amounts in excess of this are refunded to the participant.

6.      Termination of the Plan

Upon termination of the Plan, the Company shall refund to each participant the balance of each participant’s account. The Plan was amended and restated by the Board of Directors as of June 30, 2000. The Plan term has been extended until the earliest of the following:

7.      Plan administration

All expenses for administration of the Plan are paid directly by the Company and are not reflected in the accompanying statements.

9.      Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
