One Man One Mug started when I asked a work colleague of mine who tries to avoid the tea round to make me a brew, so they picked one of the many strange mugs in our office cupboard, which was the crab mug, and said “this is to go with your crabby mood.” They forced me to take a picture and posted it on social media and the Instagram account was born.

One Man One Mug started off with daily “mugshots” where we would look through our office cupboards for the weird and wonderful mugs colleagues would bring into the office and we would think of a funny pun to go along with the mug as a bit of fun. Since then, we have collaborated with several mug makers and tea brands.

We are constantly trying to source the best mugs and beverages to take a picture of.

I work in an office in Manchester, and sitting next to me is the brains behind the operation, Emma, AKA ‘The Lady Behind The Lens’. Emma is the true genius behind One Man One Mug, she takes all of the photos and comes up with the witty captions. If anything, I’m just the model.

    How do I source the best mugs? Simple, I work in a massive office so I just steal them out of the kitchen cupboard. However, I can’t deny, the pickings are becoming increasingly slim. I’ve almost worked my way through the entire office collection, but fear not, I’ve still got a few good ones up my sleeve. But as mentioned earlier, I’m always a grateful recipient should you want to donate any mugs to the cause!

    I’d like to think that our content provides people with some welcome humor to fit in between the mindless scrolling through the usual doom and gloom that social media has to offer. It turns out that there’s actually quite a few people on the internet that are well into mugs. I guess you could call me the pioneer of mug modeling.

    If you like mugs and rubbish jokes, drop us a follow on Instagram @one_man_one_mug - and if you would like your mug to be featured, just drop me a DM!
