Been There – Malaysia

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Malaysia is a mug for a country whose history is shaped by the meeting of diverse cultures, kingdoms, and colonial influences. From the ancient Malacca Sultanate, which was a major trading hub, to periods of Portuguese, Dutch, and British rule, the region has long been a crossroads of commerce and culture. The country gained independence in 1957, forming the Federation of Malaya, which later expanded into modern-day Malaysia in 1963. This rich history continues to influence its identity, blending tradition with progress.… Read more

Here is the Discovery Series Ornament – Seattle from the Emerald City. The city earned this nickname for its lush evergreen forests and vibrant year-round greenery, officially adopted in the 1980s after a contest to highlight its natural beauty.

Here are some of the symbols of the city that we can see from the design of this espresso mug:

You Are Here – Italia

Posted on

Thanks to a blog reader, I was finally able to acquire good photos of the newly released You Are Here Italia mug. It is essentially an exact copy of the mug released seven years ago, with the only difference being the use of the country’s name in Italian: Italia instead of Italy.

I didn’t do the full review of the mug back in 2018, so let’s do it now.

– The Colosseum in Rome is one of the most iconic landmarks of Italy and a symbol of its ancient history.… Read more

You Are Here – Milano

Posted on

Thanks to a heads-up from our reader, it came to our attention that in line with the update to the country mug that adopted the Italian name, Starbucks also introduced the You Are Here Milano mug, featuring the city’s name in its native language. The design of this release is identical to the Milan mug; you can see this for yourself by comparing it with the pictures of the original mug from this post. You probably remember, this also happened to the Roma mug, and I am sure there will be other cities to follow.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Baltimore

Posted on

I like the blue colors of the Discovery Series Ornament – Baltimore, but I wish the string were also blue.

Baltimore’s story begins in 1706 when Maryland’s colonial General Assembly created the Port of Baltimore at Whetstone Point for the tobacco trade. The Town of Baltimore itself was officially founded on August 8, 1729, when the Governor of Maryland signed an act establishing the settlement on the west side of the Jones Falls. The city was named after Cecilius Calvert, the 2nd Lord Baltimore, connecting it to the English aristocrat who helped establish Maryland as a colonial haven for religious tolerance.… Read more

Posted on

Been There Ecuador is a mug released for the opening of the first Starbucks store in Ecuador, which opened at Scala Mall in Quito in August 2024. The historic launch marked Starbucks’ 1,700th store in Latin America and the Caribbean and represented the coffee giant’s entry into its 25th market in the region. The company partnered with Delonorte S.A. for the opening, with plans for four more stores across Ecuador’s capital city by the end of 2025.

Ecuador’s history spans from ancient indigenous civilizations to modern independence, with the Inca Empire expanding into the region before Spanish colonization began in 1534.… Read more

Discovery Series – Charlotte

Posted on

Here are some of the symbols of the Queen City that we can see in the design of the Discovery Series – Charlotte mug (on top of those we saw in the ornament post).

– I was not able to identify what the goat with the crown means, but it may be a nod to the origin of Charlotte’s name as the “Queen City,” honoring Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The crown ties to royalty, while the goat could symbolize strength and resilience, blending regal heritage with a playful or symbolic local touch.… Read more

The Discovery Series – Charleston mug brings together the city’s well-known symbols that we saw in the design of the ornament, including Rainbow Row, a horse-drawn carriage, bottlenose dolphins, kayaking and paddleboarding, the Angel Oak, and Deviled Crab. On the side and back, the design goes further, adding new symbols that highlight even more of what makes Charleston unique.

– The Battery is one of Charleston’s most famous spots, located at the tip of the Charleston peninsula. This beautiful park offers stunning views of Charleston Harbor and the historic mansions that line South Battery Street.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Sydney

Posted on

It seems that none of the elements were removed from the design of the large mug when creating the Been There Ornament – Sydney. This city mini mug is paired with the country ornament in a set, so if you want to collect all the cities, you’ll end up with a few extra country ones.

– The front of the ornament shows Sydney’s famous harbor view with the Opera House‘s sails standing out against the sky and the Harbour Bridge curving behind it.… Read more
