Perhaps there is a standard definition of cup in the literature (caffeine content of one cup of standard lab brewed coffee) or industry standard for vending machines (doubtful). However I have not found a reference to that paper that explains "cup".

A cup in cooking is 250 ml (237). Perhaps we are talking medium 250ml? Neither strong nor weak?
