I believe the standard cup of coffee is defined as 8oz/250ml. With interview studies like that it’s harder to get exact measurements so they have big error bars and rely on having a standard reply to show the person how big a cup is.
Technically, what they end up concluding is that people who drink an amount of coffee they would describe to someone with a clipboard as 2-3 cups are less anxious. I’m willing to bet there’s a good correlation between between that and drinking between 400 and 750 mL of coffee a day as well. :P
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.
Good news: a new study has found a correlation between moderate consumption of coffee and lower stress & anxiety.
New Study Finds Moderate Coffee Consumption Linked With Lower Stress & Anxiety
When they say “2 to 3 cups”, they’re not referring to the unit of measure, are they?
I think they misspelled “pots”
just use a gigantic cup and call it a day
As far as I’m aware, there is no standard measurement for a single cup of coffee. I’ve seen in the past 5 oz used as a single cup.
A Cup is an imperial unit of measurement roughly equal to .24 Liters.
However, American coffee machines with cup measurements typically use an infuriating 5 or 6 fl oz “coffee cup” volume.

I try to keep my intake around two cups of coffee per cup of coffee, anything higher than that and I get jittery.
When compared to high consumption?
