une tasse = a cup

A 'cup' of coffee' (='une tasse de café') to start the day.
Must read stats on the economist website re- the water needed to produce everyday goods and beverages:
"A cup of coffee, for example, needs a great deal more water than that poured into the pot. According to a new book on the subject, 1,120 litres of water go into producing a single litre of the beverage, once growing the beans, packaging and so on are measured. Only 120 litres go into making the same amount of tea."
