A drink of coffee is a compound because if you took a sample from anywhere in the cup, that sample would have the same chemical formula as any other spot in the cup. If there were spots in the cup that had excess substances such as coffe grounds it would be a mixture. Also since coffee is made up of several things, eg) coffe grounds, water... it is obviously not an element. Therefore it must be a compound.
