Cups to Milliliters
Convert between cups and milliliters. “Cup” means different volumes in different places, so each variant is listed separately.
How this is calculated
- mL = cup (US customary) × 236.5882365
- mL = cup (US legal) × 240
- mL = cup (metric) × 250
Most US recipes mean the customary cup (236.59 mL). US nutrition labels use the legal cup (240 mL), and Australian recipes usually mean the metric cup (250 mL).
Checked against known values
- 1 cup (US) = 236.588236 mL
- 1 cup (legal) = 240 mL
- 1 cup (metric) = 250 mL
- 2 cup (US) = 473.176473 mL
