The difference between a Starbucks cup and an authentic cup is as follows:

1. The English logo is different

If you buy a cup online or in a physical jewelry store, there will be a circle of English letters at the bottom with the product information, instructions for use and company copyright of the cup printed on it, such as the English logo of Starbucks Coffee Company. If the cup used in Starbucks stores has a circle of English letters at the bottom and a logo in the middle, it is usually not for sale. Starbucks never produces ceramic accompanying cups, and the so-called ceramic accompanying cups on Taobao are all fake.

2. Different capacities

In addition to the English logo, the bottom of Starbucks cup will also indicate the capacity of the cup. Starbucks cups have only four capacities: 8floz/237ml, 12floz/355ml, 16floz/473ml and 2floz/592ml, with two rows of capitalized STARBUCKS COFFEE in the middle of the bottom.

3. Different appearances

Authentic Starbucks cups are exquisite and compact in appearance. Whether it's ceramic mugs or accompanying plastic or stainless steel cups, the manufacturing process of the cups is particularly fine. Because Starbucks has strict quality inspection, once the products are considered defective, they will be scrapped.

As a result, Starbucks cups are not cheap. The overall feel is smooth and the appearance is bright. Except for the accompanying cup with lid, there are few mug styles with lid. There is no unnecessary dead angle at the joint between the cup body and the handle, and it is naturally inlaid and closely attached. Starbucks accompanying cups and thermos cups have rubber soles similar to tires at the bottom, which is for anti-skid, except that the homemade accompanying cups have plastic bottoms.
