Actually, while a Starbucks "tall" is 12 oz., a standard serving of coffee is often 8 or 6 oz. depending. My small-size coffee mugs in the cabinet are 12 oz.; the china coffee cups are 8, and that's if you fill them almost to the top. If you leave room for cream, they're more like 10/11 and 6/7 ounces respectively.
@MsELizardBeth Nothing is wrong with us. Coffee tastes disgusting, smells gross... Besides why bother to learn to like something that people complain they drink too much of, want to cut back and then complain about withdrawal and headaches? My vices of choice are good chocolate and good ice cream. They taste way better. Besides chocolate is good for one's health and wellbeing. Science says so LOL.
@dashcloud Or I can eat chocolate - that has caffeine in it and tastes far better without having to hide the taste of the coffee with something else (eg the creamer)...
@MsELizardBeth I was having heart palpitations and not sleeping. My doctor recommended quitting caffeine. I quit. The heart palpitations stopped. I still dont sleep.
@thismyusername Are "sippy cups" for toddlers alsdo required to be 8 oz, if "a cup of coffee" should be measured? English is a messed up language, and the British have it right when they just call it "a coffee", with no reference to delivery mechanism or implied size. Now, time for me to make a "pot" of coffee in a glass carafe with some useless cup measurements on it.
Somewhere here I've posted my weekday "coffee mug", which is a 1.1L pitcher from Ikea. I usually consume about half that on the weekend.
I did even less than that yesterday; just one regular cup in the morning. The allergy that came about after working outside in the morning was a contributor to that; I wasn't going to drink anything caffeinated with the "may cause drowsiness" antihistamine.
No coffee yet this morning, though it's also not even 7am. Maybe later.
A cup is 12 oz??

I know this is probably referencing the typical coffee servings, but a "cup" is 8 oz., not 12 oz.
@thejackalope that's why they specified what they meant.
@thejackalope I've rarely been served exactly 8 oz of coffee when I have ordered "a cup of coffee".
What is wrong with you non coffee drinkers! ?!

@Kidsandliz That's why they make flavored creamers- you can either have coffee or you can have flavored caffeine delivery systems.

I drink one french press a day during the weekdays. During the weekends I sometimes use the espresso machine Meh sold me about a year ago.
8 million dollars is about 12 million dollars.

@Pamtha
If your coffee makers' carafe has "12 oz" cup graduations, you might have bought it at meh. :)
Coffee cups may be 12 oz., which is why I use my mugs, which are 18 or 24 oz., 4 times a day.
Fellow coffee drinkers:
I'm looking for flavored K-Cup pods that actually taste like what they say they do.
Do you have any recommendations?
@dashcloud Recommendation: ditch the Keurig. ;)
@brhfl Don't need to- I've got a two-in-one unit- regular or K-cups.
A cup, in the coffee world.. Can be as little as 4oz. In the French press forums, we've has these talks.
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I may have to start buying Starbucks, for the secular cups.
