The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Discovery Series – Naboo

Posted on

I completely forgot to add the third Star Wars mug that was released this past May. The Starbucks Discovery Series Naboo is a mug for one of the most elegant and culturally rich worlds in the Star Wars galaxy. Known for its rolling green landscapes, grand cities, and peaceful lakes, the planet served as the homeworld of Padmé Amidala, Emperor Palpatine, and the Gungan civilization. Introduced in The Phantom Menace, Naboo became the setting for some of the saga’s most important political and personal storylines.… Read more

Relief – Lisboa

Posted on

Here is another release from Portugal for a series that I thought was long discontinued. The Starbucks Relief Lisboa mug features Castelo de São Jorge, one of Lisbon’s most distinctive monuments. The oldest known fortification at this spot dates from the 2nd century BC, with archaeological evidence revealing traces of Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, and Muslims, confirming human occupation of the area since very ancient times. In 1147, King Afonso Henriques captured the castle from the Moors during the Siege of Lisbon, marking a turning point in Portuguese history.… Read more

Relief – Athens

Posted on

The Starbucks Relief Athens mug is one of those I had no idea existed. Thanks to a recent revision of the Relief mugs database, I discovered that I am missing quite a few of them.

Athens is famous for many things, but one of the most important is being the home of the Academy of Athens. You can see its building on the front of the mug. This was the world’s first school of higher learning, founded by the philosopher Plato around 387 BC.… Read more

You Are Here – Leipzig (Prototype)

Posted on

You may remember the post I shared earlier this month about an ultra-rare, never-released mug from Korea. At the time, I mentioned that the private collection being offered for sale included several mugs that appear to be pre-production samples created before the final designs went into manufacturing. One piece that particularly caught my attention is this You Are Here Leipzig (prototype) mug, which was recently sold on eBay.

What makes this mug fascinating is that it appears to be an early production sample featuring a different colour palette and a few subtle design variations compared to the version that was ultimately released in stores.… Read more

No other U.S. state, except California, has been represented by as many ornaments in this series, with an impressive seven releases to date. The Discovery Series Ornament Big Island is the sixth Hawaiian mini-mug in my collection, further showcasing the remarkable diversity and appeal of this iconic destination.

The Big Island of Hawaii, officially known as the island of Hawaiʻi, is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and one of the most geologically active places on Earth.
