The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Discovery Series Ornament – Phuket

Posted on

Let’s wrap up our look at the Thailand mini mugs with the release of the Discovery Series Ornament Phuket. Interestingly enough, there is no country ornament for Thailand yet, but I am sure that it is only a matter of time.

The Starbucks Discovery Phuket ornament highlights Thailand’s largest island and one of Southeast Asia’s most famous beach destinations. Located in the Andaman Sea, Phuket has evolved from a historic trading port into an international tourism hub known for its tropical scenery, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life.… Read more

Relief – Cebu Light Green

Posted on

The Starbucks Relief Cebu Light Green is another custom colour release from the beloved series.

The front of the mug features the iconic Lapu-Lapu monument, a towering bronze statue honouring the chieftain who defeated Ferdinand Magellan in the 1521 Battle of Mactan. Standing prominently by the shore, it symbolizes Filipino courage and resistance against foreign colonization. It remains one of the most recognizable historical landmarks in Cebu.… Read more

Discovery Series – Cancun

Posted on

From what I am seeing, Mexico will have the largest number of Discovery Series releases when compared to other countries in Latin America, and it will take some time to review them all, so bear with me.

The Starbucks Discovery Series Cancun celebrates one of Mexico’s most famous resort destinations. Located on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cancun transformed from a small fishing community into an international tourism powerhouse during the second half of the 20th century. Today, millions of visitors arrive each year to enjoy its beaches, turquoise waters, and access to some of the region’s most remarkable natural and archaeological attractions.… Read more

You Are Here – Lucerne (prototype)

Posted on

I continue discovering more and more prototypes from the private collection that is currently being sold on eBay. While this You Are Here – Lucerne prototype has already found a new owner, I believe it is worth documenting for fellow collectors.

As you can see from the pictures below, the only difference between this prototype and the mug that was eventually released in stores is the lion on the back. In the prototype, the lion is white, whereas the production version features a blue lion.… Read more

Discovery Series – Bahamas

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Bahamas honours an island nation whose history has long been connected to the sea. Located in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Florida, the Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands and cays, many of which are surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs. The islands became an important crossroads for exploration, trade, and maritime travel following the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century. Today, the Bahamas is known for its beautiful beaches, unique culture, rich marine life, and colorful festivals, all of which are reflected in the mug’s design.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Chiang Mai

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Chiang Mai celebrates the cultural capital of northern Thailand, a city with a history stretching back more than 700 years. Founded in 1296 as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai developed into an important center of trade, religion, and craftsmanship. Today, it is known for its ancient temples, mountain scenery, vibrant festivals, and thriving café culture. The mug highlights several symbols that capture both the city’s rich heritage and its modern identity.

Relief – Bangkok Blue

Posted on

The Starbucks Relief Bangkok Blue was released some time ago, but it appears to have been an overlooked addition at the time. Three other color variations of the same mug were issued around the same period, roughly a decade earlier, each presenting a different take on the design. This blue version stands out in particular, as it is uncommon within the Relief collection, where Starbucks typically favored much darker shades of blue.… Read more

Discovery Series – Chile

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Chile is a mug for a country of extraordinary contrasts. Stretching more than 2,600 miles along South America’s Pacific coast, Chile is one of the longest countries in the world, yet it averages only about 110 miles in width. Its history spans ancient indigenous civilizations, Spanish colonization, and independence in 1818, while its landscapes range from the driest desert on Earth to glaciers, fjords, and rugged mountain peaks. The design celebrates many of the symbols that make Chile unique, combining natural wonders, wildlife, cultural traditions, and world-famous landmarks.… Read more

You Are Here – Belgrade

Posted on

You probably remember my review of the You Are Here – Београд mug, the only mug in the series to use a Cyrillic city name. I assumed this was because both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets are officially recognized and widely used in Serbia. That is why I was excited to discover the pictures of this You Are Here Belgrade mug. It means that Starbucks may also have considered releasing a version featuring the city’s Latin spelling. It is entirely possible that this variation was produced in very limited quantities, as I have never encountered another example apart from this eBay listing.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Kauai

Posted on

This is the seventh and last (for now) Hawaiian mini mug from this new series in my collection. The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Kauai is a release for the oldest of Hawaii’s main islands and one of the most naturally beautiful destinations in the Pacific. Known for its lush mountains, dramatic coastline, and abundant wildlife, the island offers a slower pace and a stronger connection to nature than many of Hawaii’s more developed islands. Despite its small size, Kauaʻi is home to several unique species and traditions that have become symbols of the island.… Read more
