How the Milliliters to US cups Converter works
A US customary cup is exactly 236.5882365 mL (half a US pint). Nutrition labels use a 240 mL cup, and metric cups in Australia and elsewhere are 250 mL, so recipes vary slightly.
To convert milliliters to us cups, multiply by 0.004226752838. The calculator shows the result to 6 significant figures; the conversion factor itself is exact by definition.
Quick estimate in your head: divide millilitres by 240 (the nutrition-label cup) for a close estimate.
