Cups nine and ten created a problem and the need for clarity.
Cup nine is in my work mug, a Starbucks thermal. I love this mug. It travels well and is spill resistant. The lid is difficult to secure and remove – this was remedied in the latest iteration of this mug. Here is where the problem was created. Cups one through eight were 14 fluid ounces. Cups nine and ten are 16 fluid ounces. Not an issue for The Year of Coffee, but a problem for 12 Ounce Addiction. Thus the adoption of SCMUs (Standard Coffee Measurement Unit – 8 fluid ounces).
Cup ten is another dilemma. It is still in the thermos. Does that count?
