In this case the cup refers back to to the wax cup collecting
secretions from gastric fistulae mentioned two sentences earlier. This
is tipped off by 'must face.' I look forward to sipping my morning
joe. I'm glad I don't have to face a cup of gastric secretions. The
word usage (habitual morning cup) does invite a comparison between
Pavlov's conditioned pooches and the human habit of morning coffee.
