Spring cups...

...at Starbucks.

For those of you who pop by from time to time, I think you will have gathered that I'm a bit of a coffee addict. My day doesn't start until I've had my first mug and the day continues with regular "refueling" throughout.

I do love my Starbucks coffees and look forward to the various seasonal blends and flavours.

The sight of the first "Red cups" in the stores always heralds the arrival of one of my favourites - Gingerbread latte - Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Last year we also had a run-up to the red cups with some pretty Autumn designs - perfect for the likes of the Pumpkin Spiced latte.

Last week, whilst up in the centre of London, I noticed some pretty new designs. There are three designs - one for the Tall, Grande and the Vente. This is the 'Grande'...


...isn't it pretty. The design was created by "Olya" a shift supervisor in Russia.

I'm normally very good and use a re-usable cup for my coffees but on this occasion I so wanted one of these pretty cups (sad isn't it LOL) and I'll have to have a think about how I can recycle it so that I can keep this pretty design.

For anyone who visits Starbucks, they have a promotion on at the moment to encourage folk to use their own mugs/cups. Instead of the usual 25p discount for using your own cup, they are offering 50p discount for a period of two months (started 1 April 2016). They will accept any travel/re-usable mug that you have...it doesn't have to be one bought at Starbucks.

I'm off to grab another coffee before getting dressed.....................................................

Lovely designs, I do like Starbucks but prefer Costa. I drink black coffee and theirs is more to my taste

They made a better job of the coffee cups than they did of the Christmas cups - they are seriously pretty!
