Your morning jolt is about to get a little more expensive, at least if you drink Starbucks. The company says it's raising prices for some drinks and packaged coffee over the next month.

Starting Tuesday, some drinks in company-operated stores will cost between five and 20 cents more, Starbucks says.

The cost of roast and ground coffee at the grocery store will rise 8 percent on average, or about $1 a bag, on July 21. The price of packaged coffee sold in Starbucks stores will not increase. Neither will K-cup single serve coffee packs, VIA instant coffee and Seattle's Best Coffee.

Starbucks previously lowered packaged coffee prices by approximately 10 percent in 2013, so the increase effectively restores prices to previous levels, a spokesperson says.
