You hit on an important point.

For some reason, most coffee brewers define a cup as 4.5-6 oz based upon the brewing instructions - not a real 8oz cup. My guess as to this measure is that it includes head-space for milk/cream, etc. That eight-cup pot of coffee you brewed? Yeah, right.

Actually, if you ever look into rice cookers, they also use their own definition of a cup, which is a hair over 3/4 of a standard cup (some ancient Japanese standard measure).

On the other hand, not wishing to be left out, my standard cup of coffee is 16oz.
