Once when I was in Britain, I used the term "coffee mug" and the British person looked at me funny and asked what a coffee mug was. He was English and a native spker of English.

A coffee mug tends not to have a saucer and is taller and thinner than a tea cup. We call em mugs generally!! You must have met an odd one!

britts don't generally drink coffee out of mugs, they don't drink coffee that much either.
They have tea which is drank out of a cup and saucer. There is even tea time where everyone takes a break and drinks tea.

well, a coffee mug usually... probably you've met someone from the country where they have their own dialect or something similar.
