    No, one cup is eight ounces.

    But anyone saying “a cup of coffee” is being intentionally deceptive. Do they actually mean one cup, eight ounces, or do they mean “a cup of coffee”, which is often at least 10oz? Personally, when I say “a cup of coffee”, usually it’s a 12oz mug, but could be a 16oz cup if I’m getting it from somewhere.

      And the funny part, is that coffee makers usually deem a cup of coffee as 5oz rather than the normal 8. Not sure if that plays into this, but it’s why you can get 12 or 14 cups out of such a small carafe.
