The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Discovery Series Ornament – El Salvador

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series has taken an important new step by expanding into Central America. The first release showing this change is the Discovery Series Ornament El Salvador. Until now, the series has mainly focused on the United States, so this release clearly shows a wider direction. This expansion suggests that we will soon see dozens of new Discovery Series mugs and ornaments for Central and South American countries.

The design of the El Salvador ornament is similar to what we have already seen in Discovery Series releases from the USA.… Read more

Discovery Series – Manitoba

Posted on

A colourful mug, Discovery Series – Manitoba, accompanies the ornament from this Canadian Province that we reviewed earlier.

Manitoba joined the Canadian Confederation on July 15, 1870, as the fifth province, created from the Red River Colony following Louis Riel’s Red River Rebellion. The province’s name derives from Indigenous words meaning “strait of the spirit,” referring to Lake Manitoba. Winnipeg grew into Manitoba’s capital as railways connected the prairies to eastern markets. Today, Manitoba balances Indigenous heritage, multicultural population, and agricultural economy while serving as Canada’s geographic heart.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Calgary

The mini mugs are back for this Canadian city where prairie grit meets mountain air. Discovery Series Ornament Calgary features cool blue tones, a subtle nod to the nearby Rocky Mountains.

Calgary was established in 1875 as a North-West Mounted Police fort at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers, initially serving to maintain order during western expansion. The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883 transformed the frontier outpost into a ranching and agricultural center serving southern Alberta’s cattle industry.… Read more

Been There – Antofagasta

Posted on

Been There Antofagasta is the latest release from Chile.

The Antofagasta Region in northern Chile takes its name from the port city of Antofagasta, with the word likely derived from indigenous languages meaning “hidden town” or referring to copper deposits. Spanish colonial presence remained limited in this harsh desert until the 19th century, when mining operations discovered vast nitrate and copper deposits. The region was originally part of Bolivia until the War of the Pacific (1879-1884) resulted in Chile annexing the territory, gaining access to valuable mineral resources.… Read more

Discovery Series – Miami University

Posted on

Discovery Series Miami University is the latest addition to the Campus Collection.

Miami University was founded in 1809 in Oxford, Ohio – yes, Ohio, not Florida – making it the 10th oldest public university in the United States and predating the city of Miami, Florida by 87 years. The confusion persists to this day, with students constantly explaining that they attend Miami in Ohio, not the “U” in Florida. Named for the Miami tribe indigenous to the region, the university earned the nickname “Mother of Fraternities” as the birthplace of several major Greek organizations, including Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi in the 1830s-1840s.… Read more

Wisconsin became the 30th state on May 29, 1848, after decades as a territory attracting immigrants from Germany, Scandinavia, and Poland who established farms and communities. The state’s name derives from a Native American word meaning “gathering of the waters,” reflecting its abundant rivers and lakes. Wisconsin’s economy flourished through dairy farming, brewing, and manufacturing, earning the nickname “America’s Dairyland” as cheese and milk production became synonymous with the state.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Edmonton

Posted on

The Discovery Series Ornament Edmonton is a fresh release for a dynamic Canadian city known for its vast river valley, thriving arts scene, and role as Alberta’s capital.

Edmonton emerged as a fur trading post in 1795 when the Hudson’s Bay Company established Fort Edmonton along the North Saskatchewan River. The settlement grew slowly until the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-1898 made Edmonton a gateway for prospectors heading north, while the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1891 spurred development.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Mississippi

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament Mississippi is a mini mug for the culturally rich U.S. state shaped by the Mississippi River, deep musical roots, and a strong sense of Southern heritage.

Mississippi became the 20th state on December 10, 1817, with its name derived from the Ojibwe word meaning “great river.” The territory’s economy developed around cotton plantations using enslaved labour, making it central to the antebellum South and a founding member of the Confederacy. The Civil War devastated Mississippi, followed by decades of Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws, and racial violence that made it a focal point of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.… Read more
