You see, the rats in the original studies that I linked above were getting quite a lot of acrylamide
Looked it up! The standard FDA scaling factor from rats:humans appears to be 62, so I should divide my 250,000 by 62 which is 4,000 or 4 liters of coffee a day. Not as fun a number but still pretty bigpic.twitter.com/HeEP0dSmpb

California's math for acrylamide starts on page 38 here: https://oehha.ca.gov/media/downloads/crnr/acrylamidensrl.pdf …

They arrived at a level of 0.1 microgram for a 70-kg human as the daily dose. By your calculations it sounds like a cup of coffee has 0.3 micrograms, so the image of drinking buckets of coffee doesn't apply with those numbers.
