U.S. Cup

Definition
The U.S. customary cup (cup US) measures volume in cooking and nutrition. It equals 236.588 mL, ¹⁄₁₆ of a U.S. liquid gallon, 8 flüssige Unzen, 16 Esslöffel, oder 48 Teelöffel. (The “metric cup” used elsewhere is a flat 250 mL.)

Ursprünge
Rooted in English household measures, the standardized U.S. cup emerged alongside the U.S. gallon and pint in the 19th century. While everyday drinking vessels vary in size, the measuring-cup version ensures recipe consistency across kitchens.

Moderne Nutzung
Home cooks and bakers rely on cup measures for liquids and dry ingredients alike. Standardized, nested measuring-cup sets—often in clear plastic or stainless steel—guard against portion errors, even when cup-shaped mugs differ.

Milliliter

Definition
A milliliter (mL) is the metric volume unit equal to 1 Kubikzentimeter (cm³), 0.001 L, oder 1 × 10⁻⁶ m³. It’s the go-to unit for precise small-volume measurements.

Ursprünge
Derived from the liter (originally the French litre), which once tied to a kilogram of water, the milliliter simply formalizes 1 / 1000 of a cubic decimeter. Modern definitions link it directly to metric standards, not water.

Moderne Nutzung
Milliliters appear on medicine droppers, lab pipettes, condiment bottles, and personal-care packaging. They provide the fine resolution needed for recipes, laboratory protocols, and nutritional labeling.
