Are we sure this person isn't buying instant granules? At least to my Australian brain, a 25 fl oz cup of coffee (~739 mL in real units), is a patently insane size to buy from a cafe.

Yes

a 25 fl oz cup of coffee

They aren't buying that either; they are buying a 25 oz (~700g) container of coffee beans, most likely pre-ground

Yeah this makes sense, many thanks for this possible explanation!

(Apparently people do buy 25 fl oz of coffee from a cafe according to another comment, which is mind blowing to me)

That's probably a fill for a thermos, but yeah that's a proper size coffee.

At that point, why go to a cafe?

This is very Australian of me, but you don't really go to cafes just to drink a boatload of coffee. You go for the vibes, or the great quality coffee, but if you want 25 fl oz of coffee, what exactly are you buying. Batch brew (drip coffee to the Americans, I think?)

You'd be wired as fuck, that's for sure haha

Grab a coffee on the go? Idk it's common here

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

People grab takeaway coffee here also, but not a 740 mL coffee. Those really are insane sizes.

Yeah it's on the bigger side, would last all day for me most days
