A cup is a unit of volume measurement equal to 8 fluid ounces (fl oz).
It's one of the most common measurements used in recipes for cooking and baking, especially in the United States.
While they share the same name, not all cups are created equal.
A US customary cup is defined as 8 US fluid ounces (approximately 237 milliliters).
However, the metric cup used in countries like Australia, Canada, and New Zealand is standardized to 250 milliliters.
This slight difference is crucial to remember when following international recipes to ensure the correct ingredient proportions.

The name of the measurement isn't a coincidence. Before standardized units became common, recipes relied on informal measurements using everyday kitchenware.
The "cup" literally referred to the volume of a standard teacup. Over time, this was standardized into the precise unit we use today.
Although the unit of volume (8 fl oz) remains the same, the tools used to measure dry and liquid ingredients differ for a reason.
Using the wrong type can lead to inaccurate measurements.
A centiliter (cl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a liter.
It's a common measurement you'll often see on beverage containers and in recipes.
The centiliter is directly related to the liter, the base unit of volume in the metric system. The prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, which makes the conversion very simple.
There are 100 centiliters in one liter:
While scientists often use milliliters, you can find centiliters on many everyday consumer products, especially in Europe.
Common examples include:
Converting between centiliters and milliliters is easy because the metric system is based on units of 10. Since "milli" means one-thousandth, the rule is simple:
To convert centiliters to milliliters, you multiply the number of centiliters by 10.
For example, a standard 75 cl wine bottle contains 750 milliliters (ml).
75 cl × 10 = 750 ml
