The "mugs" we call coffee cups these days are a lot larger than what used to be used. You can see it with any older set of china or old place settings of dinnerware. I have some older sets around. The cups hold 8 ounces filled to the rim, or a "cup". You would only put about 5-6 ounces of coffee in to leave room for milk or cream and to not slop it all over.
