How Big Is a Coffee Cup? The Answer Isn't Obvious
65% Informative
A coffee cup on your drip coffee maker may not be as big as you think it is.
It turns out to be a strange and elusive measurement, somewhere between 4 and 6 fluid ounces.
The size of a coffee cup hasn’t really changed much since the invention of the electric drip coffee machine.
An average American coffee mug, meanwhile, runs between 8 and 12 ounces .
After Starbucks , coffee cups got bigger.
Coffee maker companies have no particular incentive to change their cup sizes.
You'll need 2 “cups” for one serving, at least if you drink out of a 10-ounce coffee mug that’s now considered standard.
