A "standard" coffee cup is 150ml[1]. The japanese coffee cup could very well be smaller.

What really annoys me is that it's incompatible.

I can't put 2 coffe cups into one cup as it's 50 ml too much, however, since most cups I have are normal cups not coffee cups that means most of the time my cup is largely empty which is annoying.

They should have made a cup to be 350ml.

350ml sounds like the volume of a mug. In fact,

> Usually a mug holds approximately 8-12 US fluid ounces (350 ml) of liquid; double a tea cup.
