MEET YOUR MUG: WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE CUP SAYS ABOUT YOU
MUG PERSONALITY TYPE
We all have one.
That mug.
The one you reach for without thinking. The one that somehow makes tea taste better. The one that everyone in the office knows not to touch.
It might be chipped, oversized, covered in a questionable slogan or something you’ve had for so long you can’t remember where it came from. But somehow, out of an entire cupboard of perfectly good options, that’s your mug.
At Change Brew Co., we think the mug is almost as important as what’s inside it. So, what’s your mug personality type? Let’s find out.
THE OVERSIZED MUG
You don’t believe in half measures.
Why make a normal-sized brew when you could make one capable of lasting through three meetings, 27 emails and an unexpected phone call?
The oversized mug person comes prepared. You like comfort, you like a proper brew and you definitely don’t want to be getting up to put the kettle on again in ten minutes.
Your motto? More brew, fewer problems.
THE CHIPPED-BUT-PERFECT MUG
Yes, there are newer mugs in the cupboard.
No, you’re not interested.
Your mug has survived house moves, busy mornings, late-night conversations and possibly a few near misses with the kitchen floor. That little chip? Character.
You’re loyal, sentimental and know that something doesn’t need to be perfect to be your favourite.
Besides, you’ve spent years getting the tea-to-milk ratio exactly right in that mug. Why start again now?
THE SENTIMENTAL MUG
Maybe it was a present from your nan. Perhaps your kids gave it to you. Maybe you picked it up on a holiday years ago and it still reminds you of that trip every time you use it.
For you, a mug isn’t just something that holds tea or coffee. It holds memories too.
This mug personality type is all about the little things. The familiar routines, everyday comforts and stories that turn an ordinary cuppa into something that feels a little more special.
THE WORKPLACE-FAMOUS MUG
Everyone knows this mug belongs to you.
In fact, we’re pretty sure nobody would dare use it.
It lives in the same spot in the cupboard. It appears at every meeting. Your colleagues have probably seen it more often than some members of the team.
And if someone does accidentally make their coffee in it?
Unacceptable.
Every workplace has its own mug culture, from the mysterious mugs nobody claims to the company-branded ones that somehow multiply overnight. But the workplace-famous mug sits at the top of the hierarchy.
Approach with caution.
SO, WHAT’S YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE?
Whatever mug you reach for, there’s usually a reason behind it.
Our mugs become part of our routines without us really noticing. They’re there for the first tea of the morning, the mid-afternoon coffee, the catch-ups with friends and the five-minute breaks when we simply need to stop.
They’re in office kitchens, building site cabins, staff rooms and family cupboards across the country.
And while no two mugs — or mug owners — are quite the same, there’s one thing that brings them together.
A proper brew.
So this month, we’re celebrating the chipped ones, the massive ones, the sentimental ones and the strictly-do-not-touch ones.
Show us your favourite mug and tell us the story behind it. We want to meet them all.
