Here is another edition of the Starbucks Global Mug Series, representing the city of San Francisco. Like Seattle, San Francisco
is another Westcoast city that has a love affair with coffee, coffee shops, and people watching from the patio seats.

This mug displays an image of one of the most famous icons of the San Francisco Bay area, and that is of course the Golden Gate
Bridge. The bottom of the mug below the bridge is colored red, as is the inside of the mug, making this a bright and warm addition
to your mug collection.

And if you traveled to San Francisco recently and forgot to buy a souvenir for someone, this will do the trick!

Starbucks Coffee 12-oz. San Francisco Global Series Mug

There are a huge number of Starbucks mugs out there, but this is a special one that diehard Starbucks fans will love because it represents Seattle, the city from which Starbucks arose. The outside of the mug is decorated with the name of the city along with beautiful lush scenery from the Pacific Northwest. The inside of the mug is dark green, which matches the wooded colors of the scenic imagery.

This is a 14 oz. mug, giving you a little more coffee than the usual smallest 12 oz. size. But it’s not so big that it will get you wired on coffee all day so you can’t sleep! I received a 20 oz. Starbucks coffee mug as a gift and that thing is dangerous. 14 oz. is probably perfect. To give you an idea, a Tall size coffee at Starbucks is 12 oz. and a Grande size coffee is 16 oz., so 14 ounces sounds just about right.

We all love an aromatic mug of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. But what about when you’re on the road, either on vacation or on business? Sure, maybe your hotel has a restaurant and maybe there’s a Starbucks nearby. But you might want to have a coffee in your room first thing in the morning, and you might have a preferred blend that you like to make for yourself. But there are a number of mini travel coffee makers that allow you enjoy a cup at your own convenience.

If you think you’ll have access to a kettle or water heater, one option is a plastic cone filter. One example is the Melitta Ready Set Joe Mug & Cone coffee maker set. This set includes a plastic cone, into which you insert a paper coffee filter, and a regular plastic mug. If you plan to have a drink at your place of accomodation, this is probably sufficient.

If you want to bring coffee with you when you leave the hotel, then a better option might be the Melitta 64013 Ready Set Joe Travel Mug Coffeemaker set. This set includes a plastic cone to hold the filter, but rather than a regular plastic mug it comes with a travel mug with a lid, that you can carry with you. It is shown in black on the left.

If you are not interested in a manual coffee maker like the above cone makers, then you can choose an automatic machine like the one below.

One of the most popular automatic travel coffee makers is the Voltage Valet Quick Cafe II. This is a very standard but very conveniently-sized travel set that gets good reviews from travellers

I hope that gives you a few ideas for your travels. Now all you need to remember is a pack of filter papers and a bag of your favorite coffee. Happy travels!
