I guess I use “mug” and “cup” somewhat interchangeably as “container for coffee”. I would say it’s not all that common for coffee, but as you probably know, Americans carry water bottles/jugs/mugs everywhere and those can be up to 64oz (1.8L).
Personally I have a travel mug for coffee that is 24oz (709ml) and that is about my entire coffee consumption for the day (I don’t drink coffee after lunch). On a coffee maker that is about 5 “cups”. I have regular ceramic cups that are about 16oz (473 ml).
there are bowl shaped mugs with glorious half liter capacity and bigger (does slapping a handle on this thing make it less blasphemous?)
For Americans: Half a liter (500ml) is about 17oz.
For Europeans: common mug sizes in America range from 16oz (473ml) to 24oz (709ml) or even 30 oz (887ml)
I guess if it’s less than 400ml, it gets called a “cup”…
But holly fuck, 800ml is large! People fill it with something for drinking, or it’s a “it’s nice to have some empty volume there” thing?
