Here’s a well-structured, easy-to-read blog post for you:
If you’ve ever brewed a cup of coffee and wondered, “How many ounces are actually in this cup?”—you’re not alone! The answer might surprise you.
The Standard Coffee Cup Size
A standard cup of coffee is not the same as a regular measuring cup. In coffee terms:
✅ 1 cup of coffee = 6 ounces (not 8 ounces like a regular kitchen cup).
This is the amount most coffee makers use when measuring a “cup” of coffee.
Wait… But My Mug Is Bigger!
You’re right! Most mugs hold 8 to 12 ounces or even more. If you love big mugs, adjust your coffee measurements accordingly.
Coffee Cup Size Guide
☕ Small cup (6 oz) = 1 scoop (or 1 tbsp ground coffee)
☕ Medium cup (8 oz) = 1.5 scoops (or 1.5 tbsp)
☕ Large cup (12 oz) = 2 scoops (or 2 tbsp)
Final Thoughts
When brewing coffee, always check your cup size to get the perfect strength! Now that you know, you can adjust your coffee-to-water ratio like a pro.
Happy Brewing! ☕✨
