Millilitres to Cups Converter
Convert millilitres to US cups or metric cups. Works for water, milk, oil and any liquid — liquids convert by volume, so no density table is needed.
250 ml in US cups
1 cup — (1.06 cups · 8.45 fl oz)
250 ml = 1 cup (US), or 8.45 fluid ounces.
This is a volume conversion for liquids. For dry ingredients, use the grams-to-cups converter, which uses density.
Formula used: Millilitres ÷ 236.588 ml per US cup = cups. Exact volume conversion.
How the millilitres-to-cups converter works
Millilitres convert to cups by volume alone — no density table needed, because a millilitre of water and a millilitre of oil occupy the same space. The tool divides by 236.6 for US cups or 250 for metric cups, and shows the result in cups, tablespoons and fluid ounces.
Watch out for
This tool is for liquids. For dry ingredients, millilitres do not convert to cups the same way — a cup of flour is not 250 ml of flour by weight. For dry ingredients use the cups-to-grams converter, which uses density.
