Frequently asked questions

How many ml are in a cup?
A US cup is about 240 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml, and an imperial (UK) cup is about 284 ml. Because they differ, the converter lets you pick the standard your recipe uses so the result is accurate.
Which cup should I use?
Use the standard the recipe was written for. US recipes use the 240 ml cup, most modern metric recipes use the 250 ml cup, and older UK recipes may use the imperial cup. When in doubt, the US cup is the most common online.
Is measuring by weight more accurate?
For dry ingredients, yes, since a cup of flour can vary with how it is packed. For liquids a cup is reliable because volume is consistent, so millilitres and cups convert exactly, which is what this tool does.
Does this work offline and is anything sent to a server?
The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere, and once the page has loaded it keeps working with no connection. There is no sign-up and no limit on how many conversions you make.
