Start with the story you want to tell! For gifts, consider the recipient’s personality or the occasion (love + forever for weddings, adventure + begin for graduations). Our most popular stacks are 2-3 mugs that create short, meaningful phrases.
Browse our catalog for inspiration – we have categories like Coffee & Morning, Love & Relationships, and Inspirational. Or visit our “Story & Stack Ideas” page for pre-curated combinations.
Remember, each mug also stands alone beautifully, so every piece in your stack should be meaningful on its own.

Unlike mass-produced mugs sitting in warehouses, yours is crafted on-demand, ensuring every Word Story Style™ definition is printed with precision and care. This means your mug is truly yours – not pulled from generic inventory.

Yes! Our 14-ounce ceramic mugs are both dishwasher and microwave safe.
Why 14 ounces matters:
We spent considerable time sourcing the perfect mug for Coffee & Words. Unlike the standard 11-ounce mugs that dominate the market, our 14-ounce size offers:
- Generous capacity without being oversized or bulky.
- Comfortable grip for all hand sizes.
- Elegant proportions that feel substantial and refined.
- Perfect stacking that showcases your word story beautifully.
This isn’t your typical print-on-demand mug. The quality difference is immediately noticeable.
Care recommendations:
Dishwasher: Top rack, gentle cycle when possible.
Microwave: Safe for reheating your coffee (we know that second cup sometimes gets forgotten during busy mornings!).
Hand washing: While not required, hand washing will keep your Word Story Style™ definitions looking pristine for years.
Quality you can trust:
Our high-quality sublimation printing process ensures the definitions won’t fade, peel, or scratch with normal use. Each mug is individually tested for quality before shipping, so you can stack, sip, and wash with confidence.
