Morphology
The compound is a straightforward modifier + head construction where 'coffee' restricts the kind of 'mug' — i.e., a mug for coffee. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and fully derivable from the known meanings of the constituents, so a B1 learner who knows 'coffee' and 'mug' will understand it.
Etymology
Coffee mug simply names the drink and the cup: coffee and mug. A mug is a large, sturdy cup with a handle used for hot drinks, so coffee mug came to mean 'a large cup with a handle, designed for serving and drinking coffee'.
