The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Discovery Series Ornament – The Hamptons

Posted on

This popular summer destination on Long Island, famous for its beaches and seasonal crowd, has never had a mini mug from Starbucks. This is why I was especially excited to pick up this Discovery Series Ornament The Hamptons, earlier this year!

The Hamptons encompass a collection of villages and hamlets on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, with settlement dating back to the 1640s when English colonists established farming and whaling communities. Originally known as Southampton, East Hampton, and surrounding areas, these towns remained agricultural and fishing communities for centuries before transformation began in the late 1800s when wealthy New Yorkers discovered the pristine beaches.… Read more

Starbucks Quietly Fixes Typo on Canadian Discovery Series Boxes

Posted on

About a year ago, I wrote about a small but noticeable typo on the box of Starbucks’ first Canadian Discovery Series mug. It was the kind of thing most people would miss at a glance, but once you saw it, you couldn’t unsee it. More specifically, the grammatically correct French spelling for the word “Discovery” should be “Découverte”, and not “Decouvérte”. For collectors, details matter, and this one stood out.

At the time, there was no indication that Starbucks was aware of the issue, let alone that it was planning to correct it.… Read more

Been There Songkhla is a mug for a city in Thailand.

Songkhla province emerged as a crucial maritime trading center centuries ago, with Songkhla city functioning as a key port linking the Malay Peninsula to Siam during the Ayutthaya era. King Chulalongkorn’s administrative reforms in 1901 established the province in its current configuration. Natural gas discoveries in the Gulf during the 1970s sparked economic growth, while Hat Yai developed into a major commercial hub, establishing Songkhla as one of southern Thailand’s most economically significant provinces.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Oklahoma

Posted on

For some reason, the buffalo image is my favourite detail in the design of the Discovery Series Ornament Oklahoma.

Oklahoma became the 46th state on November 16, 1907, following a unique history as “Indian Territory” where the federal government forcibly relocated dozens of Native American tribes during the 1830s-1850s. The Land Run of 1889 opened former Indian lands to white settlement, with tens of thousands of settlers racing to claim plots in a chaotic scramble that gave Oklahoma its “Sooner” nickname.… Read more

Discovery Series – Toronto

Posted on

Discovery Series – Toronto is a mug for Canada’s dynamic metropolis, where global culture, iconic skylines, and vibrant neighborhoods come together on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Toronto’s origins trace to 1793 when Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe established the town of York as Upper Canada’s capital. The city grew slowly until the mid-1800s, when railway construction and immigration transformed it into Canada’s commercial center, officially becoming Toronto in 1834. The 20th century brought waves of immigration – initially from Europe, then from around the globe following liberalized immigration policies in the 1960s – creating one of the world’s most multicultural cities.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Arkansas

Posted on

The Discovery Series Ornament – Arkansas is an espresso mug for the State where rolling hills, crystal-clear rivers, and Southern charm come together in the Natural State.

Arkansas became the 25th state on June 15, 1836, with a name derived from a French interpretation of a Quapaw Indian word meaning “land of downriver people.” The territory’s early economy relied on cotton plantations in the fertile Delta region and later timber harvesting in the mountainous north. Arkansas remained primarily rural and agricultural through much of its history, though the discovery of bauxite and the development of aluminum production during World War II brought industrialization.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Toronto

The Discovery Series Ornament Toronto was one of the first mini mugs from this series that I got. I have time to finally post it here.

Toronto is one of Canada’s most dynamic cities, shaped by Indigenous heritage, British colonial roots, and waves of immigration that helped turn it into a global cultural and economic center. Originally known as York in the late 18th century, the city grew rapidly with the expansion of railways, industry, and trade along Lake Ontario. Today, Toronto stands as Canada’s largest city, known for its skyline, neighborhoods, and strong connection to sports, food, and outdoor life along the waterfront.… Read more

Discovery Series – Montréal

Posted on

Discovery Series Montréal is a mug for a city that blends European charm and North American energy, where historic streets, vibrant festivals, and a world-class food scene come together. I reviewed the ornament for Montréal more than one year ago!

Montreal’s story begins in 1642 when French settlers established Ville-Marie on an island in the St. Lawrence River, naming it after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its heart. The city flourished as New France’s commercial center before British conquest in 1760 created the unique bicultural character that defines Montreal today.… Read more
