Decaf In This Economy Funny Coffee Lover Shirt

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.

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.
