About this design

Groceries cost more, rent costs more, and now someone wants to take the caffeine too? Absolutely not. Coffee people who treat full strength as a survival strategy will feel seen.

A red-orange mug with a gold stripe sends up three wavy curls of steam. Beneath it, “DECAF?” is set in a heavy cream slab serif with a red outline and drop shadow, and “IN THIS ECONOMY?” follows in tall gold capitals, with a warm, retro diner-sign feel.

The sticker goes on a travel tumbler or the office coffee maker, as a note to whoever buys the beans.

Who it's for

Give it to the coworker on cup three by 10 a.m., a barista friend, a grad student or the parent of toddlers. It's a dependable office gift exchange pick, too.
