You Are Here – Germany

We had eleven German cities released prior getting to this one – Starbucks You Are Here Germany mug. Believe it or not, this is the 12th mug from this country.
As for design, this is probably the first time when I can name all elements from the mug easily:
– sun and mountains
– German sausages – there are literally hundreds of different German sausages. Important to note, that sausage names like Bratwurst, Kochwurst, Rohwurst, Brühwurst, Blutwurst or Leberwurst do not represent a particular German sausage, but a sausage type which is made in a particular way.… Read more

You Are Here – Helsinki

Here is the first YAH from Finland – Starbucks You Are Here Helsinki mug.
Did you know Helsinki can be shortened to Hki? This is the capital and the larges city in Finland located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea). It was founded in 1550 as the town of Helsingfors and later renamed to Helsinki.
The front of the mug:
Eduskuntatalo (Parliament House) – is the seat of the Parliament of Finland. The building was officially opened on March 7, 1931 and has been the key place of Finland’s political life since.… Read more

You Are Here – Geneva

YAH collection is continuing to expand in Europe with the fresh release of Starbucks You Are Here Geneva mug. The color scheme is pretty interesting. The front of the mug is mostly green.
– there is a red statue I can’t identify (I tried hard, trust me)
– four 15-foot-tall statues of Geneva luminaries on Reformation Wall (Mur de la Réformation)
– running shoes – for Geneva Marathon (The Harmony Geneva Marathon for UNICEF) – is an annual marathon held in May

The rest of the mug is mostly blue and shows:
– beautiful Lake Geneva – it is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe and gives you absolutely stunning views with mountains in the background.… Read more

Been There – Delaware

Starbucks Been There Delaware Mug was pretty easy to identify as it says “The Diamond State” right on the back. I also see the flag of the state and a beach chair. I will refrain from guessing what else is on the mug till it is released. Sorry guys.
Update from 2018/03/17: adding the real picture of the mug. The full review to come soon.
Update from 2018/04/12: adding the pic of the front and the back from eBay.

Update from 2018/06/30: v2 is finally out and the phrase “Lower Slower” was replaced by a picture of the crab.… Read more

Been There – Miami

As you probably know, many US cities will also be a part of the new collection. This is Starbucks Been There Miami mug. Is there a palm tree? Yes, a huge one. What else? Too early to say, we need real pics and not just preview. I will update this post as soon as I get anything better, guys. Stay tuned!… Read more

Been There – Tennessee

Another leaked photo – Starbucks Been There Tennessee Mug. The quality of the image is very poor and I can only recognize the Tennessee flag and electric guitar – the latter referring to state playing a critical role in the development of many forms of American popular music. Beale Street in Memphis is considered by many to be the birthplace of the blues. It is also home to Sun Records, where musicians such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Charlie Rich began their recording careers.… Read more

Been There – Detroit

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of “fake news” and I am only trying to post when the mug is confirmed by real picture, however, you guys need to know what’s going on. Thanks to leaks from insiders, we do have some more previews of new mugs coming for Starbucks Been There Mugs Collection. This particular picture is not even the front of the mug, but its back. It’s not the state, but a city – Starbucks Been There Detroit mug.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Da Nang

This is an unexpected release from Starbucks. Yes, we did anticipate the YAH mug for the newly opened Da Nang store, but there were no rumors about ornament! So here it is, You Are Here Ornament Da Nang. Again, a very low quality photo from the store’s shelf. Let’s see what it looks like in real. I am planning to get one for sure!

Update from 02/05/2018: added a better picture of the ornament. Now we can identify design elements from this mini mug.… Read more

You Are Here – Da Nang

Even though the quality of the photo is very bad, I am excited to announce the release of You Are Here Da Nang mug. It had been rumored last December, but there was no real photo of it! Today, Starbucks has opened a store in Da Nang and we can see new mugs on the shelf. Let’s wait for better pics in order to identify what design elements were used for the new release.
Update from 02/05/2018: added a better image where we can see:
– a cruise ship (referring to the fact that Da Nang is a popular resort city due it’s beautiful sandy beaches)
– fireworks (DaNang International Fireworks Festival)
Dragon Bridge – a six lanes bridge over the River Hàn opened in 2013
Hàn River Bridge – swing bridge (car traffic has to be stopped for the the bridge to swing and to allow shipping traffic to pass along the river)
It’s the first time I see two bridges depicted on one YAH and this is probably why Da Nang’s nickname is City of Bridges.… Read more

You Are Here – Leipzig

Another mug from Germany, actually 11th one, You Are Here Leipzig.
From the mug:
– Bundesverwaltungsgericht – Federal Administrative Court – one of the five federal supreme courts of Germany. It serves to resolve administrative law cases between the state and citizens (being their last resort).
– Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Völki) – Monument to the Battle of the Nations commemorating the Battle of Leipzig (1813) which ended up with the defeat of Napoleon. It was another important step done by the Sixth Coalition to end the war.… Read more
