Correct... A "cup" is a unit of measure... A glass is just an arbitrarily
sized container...

I remember bitching about my expresso maker when it claimed that it made 6
cups... It made 2 at best and I'm not even sure they were a full 8
ounces...


Just about every coffee maker I can recall, has it's graduations for CUPS
being 5oz. (i.e., 12 cup variety holds 60 oz of water).



That is marketing, not measurement.

Best measurement, don't drink coffee and specifically never drink tea
prior to departure. Tea in particular is a strong diauretic.
