Correct... A "cup" is a unit of measure... A glass is just an arbitrarily
sized container...

I remember bitching about my expresso maker when it claimed that it made 6
cups... It made 2 at best and I'm not even sure they were a full 8
ounces...

Just about every coffee maker I can recall, has it's graduations for CUPS
being 5oz. (i.e., 12 cup variety holds 60 oz of water).
