We can find the answer mathematically as follows:
The average coffee mug is 3.5 inches in diameter and 4-5 inches tall, this gives it a maximum capacity to hold 48 cubic inches of liquid (5 x (PI x 3.52)). Next let's see which of these two quantities will fit in this mug. First, let's try 3 liters. Since, 1 liter equals 61 cubic inches, three liters will takes up 183 cubic inches - that's enough to fill almost four of our coffee mugs. That leaves us with our correct answer of 300 milliliters which equals 18.3 cubic inches, which is well within the maximum capacity of an average coffee mug. So, 300 milliliters is a possible capacity for a coffee mug.
We could also solve this problem analytically. Since, we know that most soda comes in a two-liter bottle, we can compare the liquid in one and a half of those bottles with the size of a coffee mug. It is obvious from holding the two side-by-side that an average coffee mug could never hold three liters. This way we can deductively single out the correct answer: 300 milliliters.

∙ 10y agowell technically if I'm correct (sry im a litle rusty) a mug can be 1L but it also can be more than 1L

What type of a machine is the Mug Press?
A mug press is used in printing designs on mugs. Heat is used to transfer the desired graphic onto a mug. There are many kinds of mug presses, starting with low-grade versions for hobbyists leading up to industrial-grade for mass production.
How does a cover on a coffee cup prevent heat escaping?
Covering up a coffee cup lowers the rate at which energy can escape from the cup. It does this through a combination of a few things, the most important is lowering the amount of heat removed through convection. Convection is the mode of heat transfer involved with flowing gases and fluids. The amount of heat it can remove (i.e. how fast it cools the coffee) is very much dependent on the temperature difference between the flowing gases and in our case, the coffee. The higher the temperature difference, the faster they would cool (makes sense, right). When you put a lid on the coffee, you have trapped the heated air inside the coffee mug. As a result, the temperature of the air rises until the temperature of the air and the temperature of the coffee are practically the same. Using our above reasoning, we know that the coffee cannot cool down from the air anymore since they are both at the same temperature. However, if you leave the mug uncovered, you allow fresh, cool room temperature air back into the mug. This means that the temperature difference between the flowing air and the coffee causes the coffee to cool down. Another reason hot coffee will cool down is because the heat of vaporization of the liquid coffee. The heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to make a liquid phase change to a gas. This removes energy from the coffee, making it cooler. When you leave the coffee uncovered, the coffee vapor is allowed to escape to the environment. Liquids will continually evaporate gases until it reaches a equilibrium point (noted by the substances "vapor pressure"). It would take alot of coffee to fill up a whole room with coffee gases, so that it would stop evaporating. However, putting a lid on the coffee traps the evaporation and the coffee will stop evaporating MUCH sooner (remember, less evaporation means stays hotter longer). Hope this helps.
Why does hot water in a metal mug cool down quickly?
water in a metal mug cools down quicker because the air around the mug cools the metal therefor cooling the water inside the mug
Would you use liters or milliliters to measure the capacity of a coffee mug?
millilitres
Would a capacity of a coffee mug be 300ml or3l?
A coffee mug's volume will typically be closer to 300 ml than to 3 liter. For those who live in the United States, 3 liters is close to a gallon.
How much water can a mug hold?
on average about 250ml
A coffee cup holds 150 milliliters or liters?
A coffee mug that held 150 liters would take up half a room almost. 150mL is much more likely here. Typically they're about 12oz.
Which capacity does a coffee mug have 300 ml or 3l?
300ml
Capacity of coffee mug in metric?
8 oz. Metric units=Ml ( milliliters)
How many liters will a coffee mug hold?
A coffee mug can hold an average of 0.3 liters. There are bigger ones that can hold half a liter or more.
What type of coffee mug keeps the coffee hot longer a mug a coffee cup or a closed coffee mug?
a closed coffee lid
What type of noun is coffee mug?
Coffee mug is a concrete noun.
How high is a tree?
A coffee mug filled with mittens. A purple coffee mug.
Can I put a coffee mug on an electric stove top as to reheat coffee?
Do you mean, Can you heat your aluminum coffee mug in the microwave? Because of course you can heat coffee in an aluminum mug, just not in the microwave.
Can I get one personalized coffee mug?
Yes, you can personalize a coffee mug at several different sites. Such as VistaPrint.com, and Shutterfly.com. They are available in sets or a single mug.
