Cups to mL Converter

Pour the right volume for the cup in your recipe. Panmetry lets you choose the cup standard, then find milliliters for whole cups and everyday fractions.

Amount

You can enter 1.5, 1/2 or 1 1/2.

From

Choose your ingredient

The same cup can hold a different weight of each ingredient.

A measure that matches your recipe

Panmetry keeps the unit standard you select attached to the result, so you can move straight from the recipe to your measuring tools.

Start with the cup your recipe uses

Choose a US customary, 240 mL or 250 mL cup, then enter the recipe quantity. A half cup belongs to that selected cup size; it is not a fixed amount across every measuring set.

The same cup-to-mL conversion works for milk, water and oil. Choose an ingredient only when your next step is a weight in grams.

Read a jug instead of filling several cups

Use the reverse table when a recipe gives 150,250 or 500 mL and your measure is marked in cups. For a larger batch, switch the volume unit to liters while keeping the cup selection.

Questions about this conversion

Can I use this for milk or oil?

Yes. Cups and milliliters both describe volume, so this conversion does not depend on the ingredient.

Is a coffee mug one recipe cup?

Use its known capacity or a marked measuring cup. An ordinary mug does not identify a recipe cup standard.
