This is an interesting mug. People can get quite fussy about the milkiness of their tea and this mug has a several colours around the rim which you can use as a guide for putting in milk and matching the colour. The options are Milky, Classic British, Builder’s Brew and Just Tea. I think I’d fall into the Classic British camp!

I just got back from a short trip to France, having gone from Ebbsfleet to Paris, and of course picked up a Starbucks Paris mug as a souvenir from my travels. I didn’t actually have a Starbucks out there though as I kind of think its good to patronise the more traditional cafes and coffee shops.
If you’ve ever enjoyed a coffee or hot chocolate in Starbucks, you might have been tempted to recreate that coffee shop feel at home. What better way to do that than with official Starbucks mugs, adorned with the Starbucks logo. I’ve looked online and can’t find them, so the best way to get hold of them is actually to go into your local Starbucks. They are usually located near the counter.
Or why not check eBay.co.uk
where there are loads of Starbucks mugs from around the world - great for the Starbucks afficionados!

The mug is a fairly basic driving vessel. It has a handle. You pour tea in it. You drink tea. Not really much room for innovation one might think. But then someone came along and invented the Dunk Mug. It holds you tea like normal, below that is a compartment where you slide in a couple of biscuits. Who knew that the good old fashioned mug was cabale of this kind of reinvention? One can only wonder what the future holds for the mug.
The force is strong with this one. It’s a cool Darth Vader mug, available from Play.com for around £5. Darth Vader is one of the greatest “baddies” to ever grace the big screen, and now you can celebrate the black caped one with this mug in the shape of Darth Vader’s head. If you love Star Wars, this mug is perfect for you. Some of the reviews I have read suggest that chipping is likely in a dish washer, so maybe stick to hand washing.
Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral. I want that mug, not excuses
