The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Discovery Series – São Paulo

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series São Paulo mug is dedicated to Brazil’s largest city and one of the country’s most important economic and cultural centres. São Paulo was founded on January 25, 1554, when Jesuit priests established a college on the Piratininga plateau. For much of its early history, it remained a relatively small settlement, but the coffee boom of the 19th century transformed the city. The wealth generated by coffee helped bring railways, immigrants and rapid urban development, turning São Paulo into a major industrial and commercial centre.… Read more

Relief – München

Posted on

While I actually missed adding some other Relief releases when they first appeared in stores and had to catch up later, Relief München seems to be a fresh release. Thanks to a blog reader who gave me a heads-up about it.

It seems the only coloured element in the design is the pair of beer glasses. Beer has been an important part of Munich’s history for centuries, with brewing in the city dating back to the Middle Ages. In 1487, Munich introduced its own beer purity law, which later became part of the famous Bavarian Reinheitsgebot.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Idaho

Posted on

According to my notes, Discovery Series Ornament Idaho is the last Discovery release from the USA that I was missing in my collection. We can always expect more mugs and ornaments in the future, though.

The Discovery Series Ornament Idaho brings together some of the natural attractions, local traditions and official symbols associated with the Gem State. Idaho became the 43rd state of the United States on July 3, 1890, after first becoming a U.S. territory in 1863. Much of its identity is tied to its mountains, rivers, forests and agriculture, with potatoes and huckleberries becoming particularly recognizable symbols of the state.… Read more

You Are Here – Teplice

Posted on

I was contacted by some amazing readers of my blog who alerted me to the release of not one, not two, but as many as three new mugs from Czechia. I would like to thank all of them for helping me keep the site up to date. Special thanks go to the reader who provided these photos of the You Are Here Teplice mug, which is where we will start our journey.

Teplice’s history is closely connected with its thermal springs, which were already known in the Middle Ages.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Maryland

Posted on

The Discovery Series Ornament Maryland captures several of the state’s most recognizable symbols in a compact design. While Maryland is often associated with the Chesapeake Bay and its maritime heritage, the ornament also highlights the state’s official flower, bird, and one of its favorite pastimes, creating a well-balanced tribute to the Old Line State. The artwork keeps the clean, colorful style of the Discovery Series while focusing on icons that are instantly recognizable to Marylanders.

– One of the most eye-catching elements is the Black-eyed Susan, Maryland’s official state flower since 1918.… Read more

Been There – Shanghai Limited Edition

Posted on

The Starbucks Been There Shanghai Limited Edition is one of the most unusual regional releases in the entire Been There collection. It appears to have been created for the opening of the Bearista Town pop-up store and museum in Shanghai, making it much more than a standard city mug. The most striking feature is its elegant chocolate-brown and gold color palette, which gives the mug a premium look unlike any regular Been There release. It even comes packaged in a matching chocolate-brown gift box, the first time Starbucks has used this color for Been There mug packaging, making the presentation just as collectible as the mug itself.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Philippines

Posted on

Starbucks has released a bunch of mugs from the Philippines and only one ornament so far. Something tells me that the mini mugs for the cities of this archipelagic country will follow.

The Discovery Series Ornament Philippines showcases several of the country’s best-known natural and cultural symbols. Although much smaller than the full-sized mug, the ornament captures what makes the Philippines unique, from its volcanic landscapes and tropical fruits to its beloved national icons and everyday life on the islands.

– Mayon Volcano forms the backdrop of the design.… Read more

Discovery Series – Los Cabos

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Los Cabos highlights one of Mexico’s premier resort destinations, located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The municipality of Los Cabos is made up primarily of the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, connected by a scenic coastal corridor lined with beaches, luxury resorts, and golf courses. While Cabo San Lucas is known for its vibrant marina and nightlife, San José del Cabo has preserved much of its colonial charm with historic streets and traditional architecture.… Read more

You Are Here – Katowice (prototype)

Posted on

Yet another very interesting and unique find from the private collection that is being offered for sale. It seems that You Are Here Katowice was originally planned for release much earlier than we previously believed. The prototype’s design is significantly different from the version that was ultimately approved in 2024. As you can see in the comparison photos below, the final mug features a more vibrant color palette, while the marching band’s hat from the prototype was replaced with the full marching band.… Read more
