Let’s play a game! Lead or no Lead? Guess! 2018 Oregon Espresso Mug from Starbucks.
Scroll down below photo to see the full XRF test results for this mug!

The Lead levels on all colors of this mug were within safe range by all standards! [Maybe Starbucks got the message?] I would still prefer to also not see any Cadmium in my mugs… but the Cadmium levels are very low too!

Do you think all of the newer “Been There” mugs might be lead free? I have a massive collection of the “You Are Here” which I now know, fortunately and unfortunately, thanks to you have high levels of lead. My entire family has been drinking out of them daily for years – including my morning acidic coffee. While I deal with that, I do have a few that are in the series of the Oregon one. I am going to get some glass mugs, but do we think this newer series is safe-ish?
