Heavy Mug. Loud Opinion.
Ceramic mugs and insulated tumblers for people who want the coffee to say it first.
What people say after they drink out of it
This mug was purchased as an impromptu gift for a friend in HR. In it's first week of use, this mug has already kept its new owner well-caffeinated while braving day-long government salary board and budget meetings. It's the perfect size to allow frequent opportunities to slip out of said meetings to go back to the coffee pot for refills.
This is the perfect mug to set a little office cynicism ambush! Just remember, wait until there are enough buzzwords in the k*ll zone, then hit the clacker three times...
Love this mug, its heavy, holds the perfect amount of coffee, and has a smooth lip for optimal sipping.
The mug is a perfect fit for work. I enjoy the coffee and the mug conveys what is in store for those around me.
As a loggie I know I’m biased, but this mug is awesome! I’m glad to proudly display it in my office.
This tumbler is as good as those from those four letter cooler companies - but better because it's from ARC! Keeps coffee hot, seals well, looks good. What more could you ask for?
Love the ARC coffee mugs and the ARC coffee! Mug has a comfortable heft, holds a decent amount of coffee for round one of the day, and makes it simple for my beloved spouse to know which mug to use!
Great Quality large coffee mug with a contemporary slogan that get conversations started at work along with excellent coffee. Keep it coming ARC!
Seals well. Maintains temperature well. And of course, an accurate slogan. This is now my primary vessel for Bean Water Consuption.
This is a nice product. Great graphics. No complaints on that front. This is more “operator error” than the fault of the product, but I think the mug should be larger capacity. 18 ounces is nice but 22 or 24 oz. would minimize my trips back to the pot.
I needed this mug for my desk working as an HR specialist on an Army base.
I love this tumbler!!! It looks incredible, keeps my drinks hot, and has an amazing message. Logistics does win wars. As a military logistician, I wish I had this while I was in uniform.
Most funny mugs are funny once.
A joke pulled off a t-shirt site, printed thin, gone gray in the dishwasher by March.
These get read. That is most of the point of them. Somebody across the table sees it halfway through a meeting and has to decide whether to say something.
The ceramic has real weight to it, the print holds up as long as you keep it out of the dishwasher, and the jokes were written by people who sat through the same meetings you did.
Sizes & Care
The standard. Full pour with room left over, and a handle you can get three fingers through.
Heavier ceramic, matte finish with a gloss lip. For people who resent the walk back to the pot.
Insulated stainless, laser etched instead of printed. Keeps it hot through a long drive.
Microwave is fine. The dishwasher will chew the print off. That is not a suggestion, it is the whole warning.
What The Designs Mean
Some are inside jokes. Some are just funny. Here is the version for whoever is buying the gift.
A claymore reads FRONT TOWARD ENEMY. Point this one at the buzzwords instead.
Our best seller, which says something about where most of you work.
Amateurs talk tactics. The people moving fuel, ammo, and beans decide who goes home.
The word every briefing uses when nobody wants to say “you have to.”
Fill It With Something
Questions about ARC drinkware
No. Hand wash only, and this is the one rule that actually matters. The dishwasher will strip the print off a ceramic mug in a few cycles and there is no fixing it after that. Warm water, soap, thirty seconds, done. The tumbler is the same story.
The ceramic mugs are. The stainless tumbler is not, for the same reason no metal goes in a microwave.
A full pour with room left before it sloshes, which is roughly a cup and a half of what most drip machines call a cup. The ARC logo mug runs 18 ounces and the tumbler runs 20 if you would rather make fewer trips back to the pot.
Mug if it lives on a desk and you want to smell the coffee. Tumbler if it rides in a truck, sits on a job site, or has to still be hot two hours later. The tumbler is laser etched rather than printed, so there is no ink to wear.
Hand washed, no. The print is under a fired finish, not a sticker sitting on top of the glaze. What kills these mugs is a dishwasher and abrasive scrubbing, in that order.
Front Toward Synergy and HR Is A Communist Plot both land for anybody who sits in meetings for a living, veteran or not. Logistics Wins Wars is the safe pick for anyone who moved things for a living. If they are hard to shop for, the ARC logo mug is the one that never needs explaining.
