    I’ve usually read standard is 6oz. Very annoying when being told to limit your consumption to a certain number of cups and then no one can agree on what a cup is or how much caffeine is in a cup in the first place.

      Totally. I think some of the issue is “coffee cup” vs “cup of coffee”, with one being the volume of the mug and the other being the amount of coffee in said mug.

      With the medical advice, I think it kinda deliberately vague, since you can’t be that precise at home and they don’t know the number that precisely to begin with.
