- Is this mug good for daily coffee?
- Yes. At 14 oz it holds a standard large cup, and the handle makes it easy to carry from kitchen to desk. It is not insulated, so drink it within a normal sitting.
- Can it go in the dishwasher or microwave?
- Treat it as hand wash only unless the base says otherwise. Decorated ceramic mugs often lose artwork in a dishwasher, and metallic trim should never be microwaved.
- How does it compare with a travel mug?
- It is heavier and has no lid or insulation, so it will not keep drinks hot on a commute. It is better as a desk or home mug and as a collectible.
- Is it a good gift for a Starbucks collector?
- Yes, if they collect the Discovery Series or Pike Place items. Check the series name on the base, since collectors care about which city and release it belongs to.
- What is in the box?
- The mug only. No saucer, lid or gift box is included unless the listing says so.
- Will the blue finish or artwork wear off?
- With hand washing it should hold up well. Repeated dishwasher cycles and abrasive sponges are the usual causes of fading on printed ceramic.
- Where is the Starbucks Discovery Series Pike Place Ceramic 14 oz Blue cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $79.98, as of our latest check.
