Discovery Series – Florida

This is a new release for the Sunshine State. Starbucks Discovery Series – Florida showcases the bright design using yellow, red, and green color palettes. I am monitoring the audience’s reaction and I have to admit that the opinions about the new collection are divided. As for myself, I prefer to see them in person and render my verdict then.

Back to the design of the mug, I can already see these symbols and points of interest of Florida:

– The Space Shuttle, revolutionized space travel with its reusable design and ability to ferry astronauts and payloads into orbit.… Read more

Discovery Series – New York

Another state is joining the new collection with the release of the Discovery Series – New York mug. Interestingly enough, the sphere on the front of the mug is green, similar to yesterday’s release. Another observation I’ve made is that, unlike the previous series, the inside of the mug is matte, or at least not as glossy.

As you’ve noticed, simplicity is the hallmark of the new series, especially when compared to the Been There collection. Here are some of the symbols and places of interest that are depicted on the mug.… Read more

Discovery Series – Tennessee

This is the first, non-Disney mug from the brand-new Discovery Series. In my earlier post, I cautiously suggested that the Disney Parks releases is just the beginning of the new collection. I later saw rumors about more Discovery Series mugs coming out on April 9, which got me excited. Well, it seems there is no need to wait another three weeks, as the Discovery Series – Tennessee was spotted in stores today. There is no doubt that more states and cities are on their way to being released.… Read more

Been There – Guyana

Starbucks Been There – Guyana is a mug for the only English-speaking country in South America. Guyana, officially known as the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, shares borders with Venezuela to the west, Brazil to the south, and Suriname to the east, with the Atlantic Ocean gracing its northern shores. The capital and largest city, Georgetown, situated at the mouth of the Demerara River, serves as the cultural and economic hub of the nation.

Guyana’s history is a tapestry woven with threads of indigenous cultures, European colonialism, and the struggles for independence.… Read more

Been There – Mississippi 3

While the new mugs keep coming regularly, Starbucks continues revising its existing inventory by releasing updated versions of some of its Been There mugs. In a way, it became a hallmark of this series. Yes, we’ve seen some YAHs updated, but all those were exceptions caused by some legal reasons. And of course, that doesn’t apply to Disney YAHs, which we’ve seen plenty of.

Alright, so, Starbucks Been There – Mississippi 3 is the updated version of the previously released mug.… Read more

Been There – Japan

It has been a while since the release of the Starbucks Been There – Japan mug, and I have no excuse for not adding it to the collection. Similar to the YAH series, the Japan country mug is unique in the sense, that it has four siblings representing four seasons of the year: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. I will be adding those four to the collection soon.

The design of this “regular” mug uses red and yellow colors. Here are some symbols of Japan that I am seeing on it:

Fuji, also known as Mount Fuji, is Japan’s iconic stratovolcano and the country’s tallest peak, standing at 12,389 ft.… Read more

Been There – Cambridge

Starbucks Been There – Cambridge is a mug for a city in Massachusetts, located just across the Charles River from Boston. Cambridge is renowned for its prestigious universities, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Lesley University, which have shaped its identity as an intellectual and cultural hub. I am expecting Starbucks to release the mugs for these academic institutions later, in the scope of the Campus Collection. Stay tuned for the latest news about that!

Cambridge was settled in 1630 by the Massachusetts Bay Company and was originally called New Towne.… Read more

You Are Here – Phu Quoc

Starbucks You Are Here – Phú Quốc is probably the last Vietnamese mug from this series since we already seeing Been There on the shelves. It was released to commemorate the opening of the first Starbucks store on Phu Quoc island. The perfect location of this new store right on the beach, allows you to enjoy the amazing ocean views while sipping your favorite Starbucks drink. Starbucks Beach House Sun Primavera (what a name for the store!) boasts over 140 seats indoors and on its expansive outdoor patio providing a profound sense of peace and serenity.… Read more

Been There – Curacao

Starbucks Been There – Curaçao mug was initially spotted in personal collections back in 2019, however it was never seen in stores till recently. Not sure what was the reason for the delay, but here it is, brand new and nice looking.

Curaçao, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, lies in the southern Caribbean Sea, about 65 kilometers north of the Venezuelan coast. Its capital and largest city, Willemstad, is renowned for its colorful Dutch colonial architecture, earning it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.… Read more

Been There – Michigan State

Starbucks Been There – Michigan State mug is designed using mostly two colors: green which symbolizes the agricultural heritage of the university and the lush landscapes of Michigan, and white which represents purity and integrity.
Founded in 1855, Michigan State University (MSU) has a rich and storied history that spans over 160 years. Situated in East Lansing, Michigan, MSU has evolved from a small agricultural college into a globally recognized institution of higher learning. Initially named the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan, MSU was the first land-grant college in the United States, emphasizing practical education and research in agriculture and the mechanical arts.… Read more
