Followup on Imperial Pints
Back in May, I had a post that several of you enjoyed on the subject of American versus Imperial pints. Today I learned that the UK government, post-Brexit, is bringing back Imperial pint glasses marked with a crown stamp as assurance of proper measurement. We shall have to keep an eye out to see if those can be ordered for shipment to the United States.

Sure I'll get some, as long as I can use it for coffee too.
My present coffee cups are Finnish 0.5 ltr beer steins. An excellent size for morning coffee.

They were given as a gift, and ignoramus that I am, I always assumed they were coffee cups of a proper size. I only found out they were for beer when I went to replace one.
Yes, that was the discussion which concluded that we're all imperialists, I think.
Aggie, I'm not sure beer glasses make good coffee glasses, unless you're doing cold brew or iced. In which case, rock on!
I drink a lot of coffee myself, but I prefer the smaller mug. A good part of the wake-up value of coffee is having to get up and move around to refill it regularly in the mornings.
