When you'll use this
- Converting an American recipe's cup measurements into milliliters for a metric kitchen scale or measuring jug
- Standardizing a US coffee or tea brewing ratio (given in cups) into milliliters for a precision brewing device
- Converting a US medicine dosing cup's marked measurement into milliliters to match a pharmacy label

- Converting a US recipe's liquid ingredient (broth, milk, water) from cups into ml for a European recipe conversion
Practical note
This page is a staple for anyone baking or cooking American recipes with metric tools: a recipe calling for "2 cups of milk" converts to about 473 ml, the number to actually pour when using a European measuring jug marked in milliliters instead of US cup lines. It is also relevant for medicine dosing — an over-the-counter US medicine's "1 cup" dosing instruction (unusual, but it happens with some liquid supplements) converts to about 236.6 ml, though for anything dosed in smaller amounts a proper ml-marked dosing syringe or cup is far more accurate than a kitchen measuring cup.
Tips
- A US cup is legally defined as 236.588 ml — not the same as the 250 ml "metric cup" used in some Australian and international recipe books, so check which "cup" a recipe means.
- For baking precision, weighing flour in grams is usually more accurate than converting cups to ml, since a "cup of flour" can vary by 20+ grams depending on how packed it is.
- Medicine dosing cups sometimes use rounded ml markings (like 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 ml) rather than true fractional-cup lines — always follow the pharmacy label's ml instruction over a kitchen-cup approximation.
