This is a mug from 1674. Doesn’t it look like something you could buy at Starbucks?

Coffee shops were common in bigger British cities in the 1670s, and according to Pepys, they shouted out your name when your drink was ready. People sometimes gave hilarious fake names for a laugh. Very little truly changes ☕️
