Says the US Heart Association, or something like that.

I don't know if they mean triple shot venti

Are they referring to 250ml cups?

Exactly - and the following makes the statement completely meaningless:

Standard U.S. cup (general use): 8floz (237mL)

A standard European cup of coffee typically ranges from 4 to 6 ounces (120–180 milliliters).


Coffee maker “cup” marking: Most coffee makers define a “cup” as 5–6floz (148–177mL)


Specialty coffee definition: The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) defines 1 cup of coffee as 6floz (177mL) of water used to brew

Restaurant/cafeteria size: Many diners and cafes serve coffee in 6floz (177mL) mugs, leaving room for cream and sugar

Espresso shot: A single shot is about 1floz (30mL)

@CookieCrumbs hmmm, there might be a message in this 😁
@Ontheroad
It’s ok if i was making for myself. But if I have guests, I’d have to calculate the “cups” equivalent to the cups that’d be using to serve coffee + my mug. That should give me the correct “cups” line for water and number of spoonfuls of the coffee.

Too much “mathing” at 7am.

@Ontheroad Should mention on coffee maker pots, the model there's a big difference in cups sizes.

The larger coffee makers tend to be standard cup sizes.

I never use any of the smaller coffee makers.

Easy. One pot is 12 cups. No place serves just only one cup.

Heck try to get a combo of anything with a small 8 oz cup. They usually insist on a medium 12-16 oz with combos.

My coffee mug is 2 cups 16 oz. And it's not a large 20+ oz.

Three of my cups would easily exceed 5 cups
