  • A measuring cup is a specific size, about 237mL. There’s a whole system of US measurements, actually:

    3 teaspoons in a tablespoon

    2 tablespoons in an ounce

    8 ounces in a cup

    2 cups in a pint

    2 pints in a quart

    4 quarts in a gallon

    Not all cups are measuring cups; if you are having a cup of coffee that doesn’t mean your cup is exactly 8oz. You just infer from context that if someone is talking about ingredients then you should measure them with a measuring cup. (Very commonly you also see cups with graduated markings, which are US Imperial on one side and metric on the other, that go up to 2 cups/500mL.)
