Why does coffee have its own fluid volume measurement?

THANKS! ^^^^

Discussing coffee and Mountain Dew. 

Ick.  Icky icky ick.  I'd die first.

Cause it’s special.  Stop complaining you Yabbo.

I used to think you wrote good stuff.

The The Bunn coffee machine at the office only makes two cups. 

Two proper sized cups.

That's not limited to coffee drinkers...I don't drink coffee, but I'm still a shiny happy person.

I used to think you might be a cool dude. Blackhawks fan. Cubs fan. Plays pond hockey.

But no. You sir, are a Babooon! 

I think you are all helping to prove my point.

I made coffee again today, even after reading your comments.

So, evidence says I blow off social feedback. True signs of an shiny happy person.

In reply to Nick Comstock :

I used to have boss that drank at least a 2 liter of diet caffeine free mtn dew a day. It is just bad tasting yellow fizzy water at that point.  What is the point of mtn dew without sugar and caffeine.

I've seen diet, but never diet, caffeine free Mountain Dew.

I thought the whole point of teh dew was the caffeine?

I can't imagine it is a big seller.

Ha! Where all the coffee is decaf, tastes like ass, and if you ask for a double frappe mocha chocolata ya ya, I  throw broccoli at you until you leave.

That was my point - the food sucks and the service is actually famous for being bad. Yet they still make money... Maybe they are just a laundering front for the mob.

Will you franchise?  The business model might have it's origins in Chicago, but doing that with coffee has Seattle written all over it.  Going up against those 'bikini baristas' with some surly, sweaty, hairy, fat guy behind the counter is so ironic, it would blow hipster minds.

Like caffeine free Red Bull.

I'll take "Answers to Questions Nobody Asked" for $1000, Alex.

Get a Keurig, plebeians.

Rice, of all things, also has its own messed up measuring system. 

We eat eat a lot of rice, and have a fancy rice cooker, which comes with its own measuring cup. God help you if you use that cup.

It turns out a "cup" of rice is actually a little less than 3/4C of anything else in the word. You put a "cup" or three of rice in the cooker, fill with water to the corresponding line, and an hour later you've got cooked delicious rice.

All rice cookers are measured this way, for reasons I do not understand.
