There are 236.588 milliliters in a US cup.
In Australia, a standard CUP holds 8 Fluid Ounces. There are 20 Ounces to a Pint and 8 Pint to a Gallon. A British and Australian Gallon equals 4.546 Litre BUT a U.S. Gallon equals 3.785 Litre. So, a standard CUP in Australia holds 227 ml and a Fluid Ounce is 28.4 ml. Never use a 'Mug '; it's volume is variable and always more than a cup. In Australia, graduated measuring containers usually show a Cupfull as 250 ml. This is done to make things simple, but it is INCORRECT. Cooks do not need to measure things very accurately, so it does not matter much if it is a rough estimate.
