Moderate coffee intake (2–3 cups/day) linked to lowest mental disorder risk https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165032725024346?via=ihub

I still don't understand in detail what a "cup" is and if coffee type and preparation *method.

A cup is 250ml of liquid.

so if I pour 8 average espresso cups into a 250ml mug, that counts as 1 cup?

Usually, yes, but where coffee is concerned (labeling on coffee makers, for example) a "cup" is traditionally 3/4 of that.

So it's ambiguous if they don't specify further. (Do they? The link isn't loading for me.)

236ml in the US because it makes no sense.

No, they only surveyed using the word "cup" , another typical shit epidemiology study.

People use caffeine to self medicate, cause and effect are therefore impossible to determine.
