Good news: a new study has found a correlation between moderate consumption of coffee and lower stress & anxiety.

New Study Finds Moderate Coffee Consumption Linked With Lower Stress & Anxiety

When they say "2 to 3 cups", they're not referring to the unit of measure, are they?

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

As far as I’m aware, there is no standard measurement for a single cup of coffee. I’ve seen in the past 5 oz used as a single cup.

A Cup is an imperial unit of measurement roughly equal to .24 Liters.

I think they misspelled "pots"

“2 to 3 cups”

just use a gigantic cup and call it a day

I believe the standard cup of coffee is defined as 8oz/250ml. With interview studies like that it's harder to get exact measurements so they have big error bars and rely on having a standard reply to show the person how big a cup is.

Technically, what they end up concluding is that people who drink an amount of coffee they would describe to someone with a clipboard as 2-3 cups are less anxious. I'm willing to bet there's a good correlation between between that and drinking between 400 and 750 mL of coffee a day as well. :P

I've usually read standard is 6oz. Very annoying when being told to limit your consumption to a certain number of cups and then no one can agree on what a cup is or how much caffeine is in a cup in the first place.

I try to keep my intake around two cups of coffee per cup of coffee, anything higher than that and I get jittery.
