This study is Irish, so I think they likely use 170ml cups? That means a normal mug of ~500ml is 3 cups. Perhaps they even use US coffee cup size, which is 11

This study is Irish, so I think they likely use 170ml cups? That means a normal mug of ~500ml is 3 cups.
Perhaps they even use US coffee cup size, which is 118ml?
Honestly, using an unit of measurement that varies from 118ml to 250ml in a scientific paper brings the whole paper into question.
- finghin 6mo agoI’m Irish. A NORMAL mug of 500ml??? this is insanity to me
- kristofferR 6mo agoI didn't say 500ml, I said ~500ml. 500ml is quite large, but 400+ ain’t really that abnormal.
- skrebbel 6mo ago> a normal mug of ~500ml woa where is half a liter of coffee a "normal" portion?
- tomjakubowski 6mo ago500mL is a pretty typical size for a travel mug/tumblr. I'd consider that two or three servings though.
- sph 6mo ago500mL of Americano (diluted coffee) is not 500mL of espresso. I challenge you to drink half a litre of espresso in one sitting.
- hootz 6mo agoOkay, you'll definitely have to explain the NORMAL mug of HALF A LITER!
- kristofferR 6mo agoI'd say it reaches abnormal above 500ml, but there's nothing abnormal about mugs like this: https://www.ikea.com/no/en/p/faergklar-mug-light-pink-50604880/ https://www.ikea.com/no/en/p/faergklar-mug-light-pink-506048... It seems people think 500ml is more liquid than it is due to how thin cans/bottles are comparatively.
- ashirviskas 6mo agoDoes it matter what size the cup is? Usually you get the same amount of coffee water + additional water/milk/whatever.
- SecretDreams 6mo ago????
- me-vs-cat 6mo agoWhat you're describing applies to coffee shops where a latte has the same amount of coffee regardless of the cup size. Others are mostly describing someone who makes coffee for themself at home or in a break room. That person likely chooses a cup size depending on how much they coffee they want, how frequently they want a refill, etc.
- fedeb95 6mo agoyou're partially right. It doesn't matter if they had specified the grams of coffee beans they used to produce those cups. It would have been better to specify both number of cups and how they were produced.
- fc417fc802 6mo agoThe reactions to your comment got me curious enough to check. The mug I use for coffee and tea holds almost exactly 400 mL when comfortably full and I used to drink 2 of those per day (across 12 hours or so). Based on that, personally I'd consider ~800 mL of black coffee to be on the high end of moderate consumption.
- kristofferR 6mo agoYeah, people think 400-500ml is a lot for some reason, but it’s not a abnormal coffee mug size at all. The Ember mug I have is around 430ml.
