This might be a double definition.

'gullible person' is the first definition.
(mug can mean a gullible or foolish person)

'some coffee' is the second definition.

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mug that I've seen before include "Face; cup; rob" , "Drinking vessel; rob" , "Vessel for a bit of a fool" , "Fool - face - vessel" , "concentrate on studying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
