Let's start by taking a look at what exactly you need in a Starbucks mug. Of course, a stunning design is a top priority – that's a given – but it's still important to check the size of your potential new mug as well as the versatility and whether it's microwaveable and dishwasher friendly.
The next size up is a Tall. Able to hold up to 350 ml, these are ideal for your homemade cappuccinos. Then there's Grande, which, despite its direct translation to 'big' or 'large' in many languages, is the closest you can get to a medium-sized coffee of 470 ml. You'll find most Starbucks mugs to buy are between these sizes, including those from the Classic collection and the sought-after Been There and You Are Here ranges.
Venti is very generous and a great choice for coffee lovers, coming in at around 600 ml in capacity. If you want to buy a cup of this size, however, note that it'll usually be a replica of the famous transparent Frappuccino containers. Last but most certainly not least is the Trenta which maxes at 30 ounces or around 900 ml.
If you live with the luxury of a dishwasher, it's smart to shop for mugs that can be cleaned by machine so you can spend more time sipping on your caramel macchiato before work. However, some people prefer to wash any collector's items by hand anyway to limit the cracking, fading, or wearing down of printed designs.
In addition, if you're one to make your morning coffee, sit on your phone and forget everything exists for an hour, you'll appreciate the convenience of a microwave-safe mug. If you put the wrong type of mug in the microwave, it's a disaster from every perspective; yours, the drink's, and your appliance's.
To make sure that you can keep your Starbucks mug looking beautiful and brand new for as long as possible, we've highlighted which can be cleaned in the dishwasher and which need to be scrubbed by hand, as well as which are safe for the microwave. It'll save you from breakages, spills, and worst of all, unintentionally cold coffee.

Perfect for a morning black coffee, a latte with your favourite syrup and everything in between, the classic Starbucks mug had to be our winner. It's by far the most versatile on our list, for a number of reasons. For starters, it has a giftable neutral design with subtle branding and it's both microwave and dishwasher friendly.
Out of all of the exceptional features that this mug has to offer, the volume is by far the best too. It's a compact, easy-to-hold mug, yet it can house just under 600 ml of your favourite caffeinated beverage – making it larger than a Starbucks Venti!
This is possibly the coolest mug to ever come from the Starbucks You Are Here Collection. It's one of the most popularly searched for items from the range and as it's discontinued, it's quite hard to get your hands on a new and unused one.
No matter how cosy the beverage inside may be, you'll always feel a summery glow when you drink from this Miami-inspired Florida cup. Even if you've never visited, the sunshine-yellow interior is enough to put a smile on anyone's face!
This Tall 355 ml coffee cup is just right for serving up sweeter drinks. It's a comfortable balance between Short and Grande sizes which can often be too much for a sugary blend like a vanilla macchiato or a chocolate-laced mocha.
This is also a very stylish choice that's comfortable to hold and practical for everyday use. The grey stone matches the coffee house's notorious raw concrete interior style, making you feel like you're drinking your morning cappuccino in the heart of New York.
This grassy green mug is all about the Oregon favourites. We've got the area's mountains, trees and other stunning nature-themed motifs, as well as the beaver the state is nicknamed after. You'll find something new on this cup every time you sit down to drink your favourite Starbucks coffee blend!
Whether Oregon has your heart, you have a friend who's feeling homesick or you just love all things flora and fauna, this mug is a fantastic choice for you. It's robust, spectacularly designed and a great collector's item. There are other US state designs available too, including Tennessee and Kansas.
Adorned with everything that makes Britain, well, Britain, this mug is a much-loved piece in a just-right 400 ml size. The design includes Stonehenge, autumn leaves and cute red telephone boxes, making this a perfect cup for your morning English tea.
This is also one of the cheapest items available from the You Are Here collection. Pair that with the fact that it represents the country in such a loveable way and it's a great choice for anyone who has a soft spot for the cosy quirks of England.
A versatile yet classy choice, this glossy dipped mug is one of the more subtle collector's editions. It's easy to wash, durable enough to heat up and most importantly, it's a great piece to add to a Starbucks collection.
At 354 ml, it's the same size as a Tall, making it perfect for homemade cappucinos and flat whites. While the black and white looks chic and it's a good medium size, the handle is a little on the small side which may be worth considering if it's to be an everyday mug.
Our first piece from the You Are Here collection, this delightful mug is sure to remind you of Edinburgh's impressive landmarks and stunning scenery. Lush green hills and historical features are what this mug is all about.
If you've ever had the blessing of travelling to or living in this breathtaking area, you definitely need this cup. Sip on some hot Scottish breakfast tea and reminisce about the beauty of this wonderful city.
Medium-sized and durable, this is a fantastic mug for camping trips, road trips, fishing trips, or just a morning coffee at home. Sticking to the classic rustic logo and design, this Seattle mug is a must-have for any Starbies lover.
Our only concern is that it's made from stainless steel. While this is great for aesthetics and sturdiness, it's not ideal for hot drinks as it can heat up pretty quickly. Additionally, it can't be microwaved or washed by machine so it'd definitely be more of a practical outdoorsy choice than one for at home.
This dark duo espresso set is just what you need for you and your S.O's morning routine. The matte black design features the classic Starbucks Seattle logo which can take any home coffee station from zero to one hundred.
This double pack of mugs is another higher-priced option, making it just as expensive as the rarer, larger collectables. While this may be a downside for some, an arguable case is that you're getting two small mugs for the price of one large, which is great for couples.
Japan is known for its impressive selection of Starbucks drinks, with unique flavours like cherry blossom and chocolate chestnut – so it's no surprise their limited edition mugs are something special too. One of twelve collectable cups from the series, we love the red-dipped base and imagery of Hiroshima's landmarks alongside examples of the local dialect.
Out of all of the location-themed items on this list, this limited edition mug is the priciest – the only other place you can get it is by visiting Hiroshima itself! This may put you off at first, but if you or your recipient have a love for Japan and your budget allows, you shouldn't let it hold you back.
Including a few options for Starbucks products you can prepare at home, we've rounded up some of our favourite coffee articles to save you time and money nipping to a cafe every day – and with your new branded mug, your experience will be even more authentic!
That's all from us! Hopefully, you're ready to buy your very own Starbucks mug, either to kick off a collection or add to an ongoing one. Whether you chose a cup from your favourite travel destination or a traditional Seattle stamp design, we're sure that you'll love it.
