Cups to Milliliters (cups → ml)

1 US cup = 236.6 ml. Type in either box — the other converts instantly, in both directions.

📐The formula

milliliters = cups × 236.588  ·  cups = milliliters ÷ 236.588

🧠The kitchen trick

Call a cup 240 ml and you'll never ruin a recipe. Half a cup ≈ 120 ml, a quarter ≈ 60 ml. One warning: an Australian/metric cup is 250 ml and a UK cup 284 ml — if a recipe seems slightly off, check which country it's from.

💡Where you'll need this

Baking from American recipes with metric measuring tools (or the reverse) — this is the #1 kitchen conversion in the world. One important tip: cups measure volume, so a cup of flour (~120 g) weighs half as much as a cup of water (~237 g). For precise baking, serious bakers weigh dry ingredients in grams and use ml only for liquids.
