Starbucks Mugs

“Here’s your coffee.  I gave it to you in a large mug because I think I broke all the medium ones.”

Laughing, “what?”

“Yeah, well, we moved all the glasses down low, and whenever I open the cabinet one falls out.”

PSA: Don’t follow Starbucks’ directions for making coffee if you like it black.

Backstory: I usually make four cups of coffee whenever I need some. I’m feeling particularly lazy (it’s a Saturday and I got excused from going into the office to get shot at) and I’d like to get some exercise, so I put a pot on. That’s four cups based on the coffee pot markings. Starbucks’ directions say use 2 Tbsp (10 grams) per 6 fl oz. water. I use a 1/8 cup scoop, so that’s one scoop per 6 oz. I measured the markings on the pot, and they indicate about 5 oz. per cup, at least to the 4 cup and 6 cup markings. It’s a Mr. Coffee given to me by an ex-girlfriend.
