Funny Coffee Mugs: 30 That Are Actually About Your Job
A funny mug is a small, cheap way of telling everyone in a shared kitchen exactly what your job is like without having to say it out loud. That is the whole product category and it is a good one.
The ones that work are specific. A generic joke about needing coffee is fine. A joke about being the person who fixes problems they did not create is better, because it is true of somebody and that somebody recognises it immediately. Everything below is sorted by who it is actually for.
If you did the unglamorous half of the job
The ones people who actually served recognise without explanation.
If your day is mostly other people’s emergencies
Corporate life, described accurately.
If it is really just about the coffee
No subtext. You want coffee and you want people to know it.
The logo ones, for people who do not want a punchline
Same mug, no joke on it.
Or take the whole set
Four mugs, one box. Cheaper than buying them one at a time and it solves a gift problem in a single click.

Which one should you actually buy?
If it is for you, buy the one that made you exhale through your nose. That reaction is the entire product test.
If it is a gift, buy the one about their specific job rather than the one about coffee. I Fix Problems I Didn’t Create outsells everything else on this page, and it is because everybody knows exactly who to give it to.
Questions people actually ask
Are these mugs dishwasher safe?
No. They are printed in house and the print will not survive a dishwasher. Hand wash only. We would rather say that plainly than have you find out.
What size are the mugs?
15 ounces, standard ceramic mug shape. The tumblers are 20 ounces and listed separately.
How much do the mugs cost?
$19.99 for a single. The 4-packs are $69.99, which works out cheaper per mug and arrives in one box.
Do you offer free shipping?
Orders over $50 ship free. Two mugs and a bag of coffee clears it, as does any 4-pack.
Can you make a custom mug?
We print in house, so custom and bulk runs are possible. Contact us through the site with what you have in mind.
Which mug sells the most?
I Fix Problems I Didn’t Create, by a wide margin. The ones about being handed somebody else’s mess consistently outsell generic coffee jokes.
If this is what you drink every morning, buying it one bag at a time is the expensive way to do it. A subscription runs about sixty six cents a mug and the first order is 30% off, applied automatically with no code to enter.
