The Latest Starbucks Mugs

You Are Here – Casablanca

Posted on

New week, new release from Starbucks. Two new You Are Here mugs – Casablanca and Marrakech. Both from the same country – Morocco.
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco with the population of over 5 millions. It was initially named Anfa before the Portuguese took the city over and renamed it to CasaBranca (white house in Portuguese). Later when Portugal was the part of Spanish kingdom it was adjusted to Casablanca (spanish version). Even though it was given an Arabic name in 18th century – Ad-dar Al Baidaa’ – many locals still nickname it “Casa”.… Read more

You Are Here – Roermond

Posted on

Do you remember good old days when Amsterdam was the only YAH outside of US? Since then so many mugs were released that International YAHs outnumbered US YAHs. Well, the second Dutch You Are Here mug is finally here – Roermond. The color scheme is very much different from Amsterdam YAH, and is mostly orange. I expected to see both churches depicted – St. Christopher’s Cathedral and Roermond Minster or ‘Munsterkerk’, but could only recognize the first.
Similar to my previous post from today, there is no Icon or Relief for this city.… Read more

You Are Here – Kuching

Posted on

What a week! Two new YAHs were announced today. This one is the first You Are Here mug from Malaysia – Kuching.
City of Kuching is the capital and the biggest city in Sarawak (Malaysian state). I have to say Starbucks chose interesting palette for this mug – black, red and grey. Quick search brings us to the answer – these are colors of Sarawak flag.

You Are Here – Salzburg

Posted on

Remember Vienna? This is his brother – Salzburg. Yes, the second You Are Here mug from Austria.
Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and literally means “Salt Fortress”. It’s centre is very well preserved and is even considered World Heritage Site according to UNESCO.
The front of the mug shows Alps, obviously, and skis. I didn’t see the back of the mug, but I expect it has some musical instrument on it, since Mozart was born here. I am pretty sure Starbucks can’t miss to commemorate this on the mug.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Phoenix

Posted on

I’ve been on the trip and missed this new release from Arizona. So let me introduce new Ornament from You Are Here series – Phoenix, which is obviously the complete copy of it’s bigger brother. The color of the string is gold (no surprise).
To be honest I was more excited about the rumors coming along with this release. It was reported by insiders, that this is the first in a batch of 25 US ornaments coming soon! Sounds cool, right?… Read more

You Are Here – China

Posted on

It was only yesterday when I complained about no new releases recently and voila, we get some rumors about China You Are Here releases. See the pic? I can’t believe my eyes – Christmas YAHs in June? Really? Starbucks, please have mercy. So far we see three mugs. Two of them are: Shanghai, Nanjing. The third one is hard to identify.
Well, I hope these are not just rumored mugs like it happened to Amsterdam Christmas YAH

Another blurry image reveals Hangzhou YAH (regular).… Read more

You Are Here – Lisboa

Posted on

I was little bit disappointed about Starbucks not releasing any new YAH recently. I got used to new release every week or even more often. It has been two weeks since my last post and finally they took pity on us. No less than the first Portugal YAH – please meet Lisboa You Are Here mug.
Again we see Starbucks used native version of the name of the city – Lisboa instead of Lisbon, something we’ve seen with Icons already.
Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal with the population of 552k people.… Read more

You Are Here – Marseille

Posted on

It has been two weeks since the last release from the You Are Here series. This is the post for those who started to get worried – here you go, brand new, shiny Marseille mug. This one is the sixth from France, not counting Christmas YAH. Marseille is the second largest city in France after Paris
I’ve seen pictures of Marseille before at they were always bright and beautiful. It is officially the sunniest major city in France, and it’s really hard to find pics of Marseille in rain.… Read more

You Are Here – Zurich

Posted on

Another week starts and another YAH is released. I am sure this is just the beginning of the big Switzerland series and this is Zurich (see how many Swiss Icons were there). I really like this new You Are Here mug’s design and colors, hope you agree. I’ve never been to Zurich or even Switzerland, but from the pictures it seems the whole country is the beautiful place to live or at least visit. You can literally pick any point on map of Switzerland and it will be looking amazing.… Read more

You Are Here – Oslo

Posted on

I was about to add this mug into the rumors section as I heard it’s coming soon. However, just one day later, pictures of it hit Facebook. Oslo is the first mug (I hope) from the You Are Here series released in Norway. As per the official Norway Facebook page, the mug is already available in stores today. The price is 175 NOK (Norwegian Krones) or $21, which makes it pretty expensive. EBay prices are pretty high as well, but will go down in the upcoming days (check the links from below).… Read more
