Just like the term Rubber duck debugging, which is in software engineering, a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck. Many other terms exist for this technique, often involving different inanimate objects.
The "coffee mug debugging" is the same method of debugging code with which developers force themselves to read and explain their code line-by-line, to the coffee mug. There are developers who calls this planted plot debugging as well. But "coffee mug debugging" seems more convenient at this century since it's easy to find a coffee mug for a developer than a "rubber duck" or "planted plot".

I had done coffee mug debugging for my dart code in flutter and found out a syntax error and fixed it.

Some worthless piece of shit that people will try to sell you over an infomercial. This also applies to numerous other pieces of infomercial crap such as the Snuggie.
Person 1: Shit, did you see what Brett got Liz for her birthday?
Person 2: I heard it was the Hellraiser mug. Or the Hellraiser tee shirt. Damn, that sucks. At least it's not the O'Reilly factor tote bag.
Person 1: Word.
