Cups is actually more specific, if we're relying on the baseline of regular drip-brew joe. There's other factors at play than just caffeine intake or else we'd have heard about this surrounding energy drinks and meal replacement supplements.
Granted, I haven't read the study, but the coffee/caffeine invariant just came to mind when I read your comment.
- gnabgib 5y agoThere are certainly other factors, but a cup is far from the specific solution you seek [0]. There's only one country that has current unit definition of a cup (the US), which is 8 (US) fluid ounces (fl.oz) (or 236.6ml), or differently as a "legal" cup at 240ml [1]. It used to be defined as 10 Imperial fl.oz in the UK (284ml), although rarely used. While much of the world defines a metric cup as 250ml. But then there's the exception that is coffee.. a cup of coffee in the US is the product of using 5 fl.oz producing approximately 4 fl.oz of coffee[0] A "cup": 118-284ml [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit%29 [1]: https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/guidance-industry-guidelines-determining-metric-equivalents-household-measures https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidan...
- adenozine 5y agoAh, you've out-semantic'd me, I was referring to cups as being a more specific term of the different modes of coffee consumption. I'm in favor of the metric system. I did not know that the definition of a "cup" of coffee in the US was under such a broad variance. Thanks for the info!
