15. Cups, or cups, or mugs?

Diners tend to use 6 ounce cups which I suspect is because that's the size in a standard tea cup circa 1800. A standard cup is 8 ounces. America super sized our mugs to 10 or 12 ounces.

I go through about 3 mugs, so 4-5 cups at 8 ounces a pop, or 5-6 cups at diner sized.

Prrrrrrrrrobably too much any way you pour it
