So at Starbucks a large coffee works out to amount to 0.6 litres in volume. As pure water at 5 degrees Celsius works out to weigh 1 kilogram per 1 litre of water, I'm assuming that strong coffee works out around 10% heavier, so around 1.1kg for every litre. 0.6 litres of coffee therefore weighs around 0.66kg.
I currently weigh just around 10 stone 4 pounds, which is 65.3kg. Therefore if I drink a large cup of Starbucks coffee I gain 0.66kg and so weigh a total of 66kg (rounded up to the nearest .1kg). 0.66kg amounts to 1% of my body mass.
Therefore, when I drink a large cup of coffee at Starbucks I become 1% pure black coffee.
Kids; maths is fun.

wow... 1% 'pure' black...
Well no, most of you supposed COFFEE is made of WATER, the PURE BLACK COFFEE is probably less than one percent of the coffee, whic means you are probably less the 1/10000 Pure Black Coffee, and 99.99% (maybe) wrong
Already considered this. When you look at a cup of coffee, you don't say 'ahh, a cup of 1% coffee and 99% water', you say 'ahhh, coffee'. It is coffee in it's entirety, even though it consists of ground coffee and water.
NB my disclaimer, the penultimate word in the post above.
It's the one in parenthesis.
