About US Cups

The US cup is a cooking measurement equal to 8 US fluid ounces or approximately 237 milliliters. It is the primary volume measurement used in American cooking and baking recipes.

Real-World Examples

  • A standard coffee mug holds about 1.5 cups
  • Most rice recipes call for 1 cup of dry rice
  • The daily recommended water intake is about 8 cups for adults

💡 Did you know? The metric cup used in Australia and New Zealand is exactly 250 mL, while the US cup is 236.6 mL and the Japanese cup is 200 mL, which can cause recipe conversion confusion.

About Milliliters

The milliliter equals one thousandth of a liter. It is essential in medicine for precise liquid dosing, in cooking for small ingredient measurements, and in laboratory science for chemical solutions.

Real-World Examples

  • A teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters
  • A standard eye drop is approximately 0.05 milliliters
  • A can of soda contains about 355 milliliters

💡 Did you know? One milliliter is exactly equal to one cubic centimeter (cc or cm³). This equivalence is why medical syringes are often marked in both mL and cc.
