Hey coffee-loving friends! This is a special merch shout-out that I would normally save for a larger drop, but these little cups are so close to my heart that I had no choice but to share them with you right now.
As part of Disney’s May the Fourth merchandise release, Starbucks quietly dropped two adorable espresso mugs that, at first glance, are cute enough but maybe not an immediate standout. However, for someone like me who knows exactly what they are, this is something really special.
You’ve probably seen these tiny cups at your local Starbucks before, usually featuring your country, state, or even your city if you live somewhere touristy enough. They’re all part of the Starbucks Destination Series, which collectors like me hunt down from all over the world. These little 2oz espresso mugs are perfect for that strong morning caffeine hit, and the best part is that they stack!
Even better, every single one reminds me of somewhere I’ve been. For just a few peaceful moments each morning, I get to reminisce about the places we’ve seen and how lucky we are to have experienced them. It’s one of those tiny rituals that probably sounds silly to anyone who doesn’t collect them, but fellow Starbucks mug people will absolutely understand.
Now, with all of that context, you can probably see why adding new destinations from a galaxy far, far away to the collection feels especially fun. It’s such a clever crossover for collectors, and honestly, I’m completely charmed by them.
So, here they are. I’m leaving these right here for anyone else who might want to add a little intergalactic magic to their Starbucks collection.
