A metric cup is 250 ml, so a 1/4 metric cup would be 62.5 ml, whereas a US customary 1/4 cup is approximately 59.15 ml (rounded to 60 ml). Click any link to see the detailed calculation:

Converting cups to milliliters (mL) is essential for cooking and baking, especially when following recipes from different countries.
This conversion is commonly employed in cooking and recipe measurements. Place the cup on a flat surface and pour the liquid into the cup until it reaches the desired marking. This translates to:
(1/4) * 240 ml = 60 ml
Therefore, a 1/4 cup is equal to 60 ml when using the US customary cup measurement.
If you’re aiming for absolute precision and are using the US legal cup definition (236.588 ml), the calculation would be:
(1/4) * 236.588 ml = 59.147 ml
For most practical purposes, rounding this to 59 ml is sufficient.
Its conversions to other units enable accurate measurements and calculations, ensuring the consistency and quality of food and beverage products.
The milliliter (abbreviated as "ml" or "mL") is a metric unit of volume measurement equal to one-thousandth of a liter.
For practical purposes in most recipes, this is often rounded up to 60 ml for easier measurement.
Therefore, when converting 1/4 cup to milliliters, you can generally use 60 ml as a standard approximation. For instance, a bottle of beer with a volume of 355 milliliters would be equivalent to approximately 0.750249 pints.
The milliliter is a standard unit of volume measurement in the metric system and is derived from the liter.
Using the conversion formula above, you will get:
Value in milliliter = 1/4 × 236.5882365 = 59.1471 milliliters
A cup is a unit of measurement used to quantify volume. This conversion is commonly used in cooking and beverage measurements.
This conversion is frequently used in recipes and beverage servings. Over time, standards began to emerge, but even today, variations exist depending on the region. This is based on the legal definition established by the FDA for nutrition labeling, where 1 cup = 240mL is often used as a rounded value.
It's important to know that "cup" measurements vary by region:
In baking especially, precision is critical.
For example, a recipe may call for 1/2 cup of butter, which is equivalent to 8 tablespoons.
This difference, although seemingly small, can become significant when scaling recipes up or down. This difference can sometimes lead to confusion when converting recipes. Use a flat-edged tool, such as a knife or spatula, to remove any excess ingredient above the rim of the measuring cup. For example, a bottle containing 500 milliliters of water would be equivalent to 0.5 liters.
Um 60 Milliliter korrekt abzumessen, empfiehlt sich ein kleiner Messbecher mit einer entsprechend kleinen Einteilung. This adaptability allows you to continue cooking and baking regardless of the available measuring tools.
In terms of volume, a 1/4 cup is designed to measure the same volume, whether you’re measuring liquid or dry ingredients.
Füllt man dieses Glas bis zur Hälfte, so sind 125 ml Flüssigkeit, was rund 1/2 Cup entspricht, recht genau abgemessen.
Leveling dry ingredients is critical for accuracy.
This conversion is useful for understanding volumes on a larger scale, such as in manufacturing or chemical processing. Confirming the cup standard minimizes inconsistencies in the final outcome.
Quick Reference:1 cup = 236.588 milliliters
Select the target unit to convert to
1/4 cups = 236.588 milliliters.
Multiply the value by 236.5882365.
This means 1 cup equals 236.5882365 milliliters.
For mental estimation, remember that 1 cup is approximately 237 milliliters.
To calculate a cup value to the corresponding value in milliliter, just multiply the quantity in cup by 236.5882365 (the conversion factor).
For example, trying to level off flour in a liquid measuring cup can be difficult, leading to inconsistent amounts. For example, a recipe may call for 2 cups of milk, which is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces.
You might not always have measuring cups readily available, but you’re more likely to have measuring spoons or a liquid measuring cup calibrated in milliliters. For example, a recipe may call for 2 cups of flour, which is equivalent to approximately 473.18 milliliters.
The cup is an essential unit of measurement in culinary practices, food preparation, and recipe formulation.
Dry measuring cups, on the other hand, are designed to be filled to the brim and leveled off.
Using a liquid measuring cup for dry ingredients or vice-versa can lead to inaccurate measurements. For instance, a medicine dropper with a capacity of 10 milliliters would hold approximately 0.33814 fluid ounces of liquid.
This conversion is useful for precise measurements of small quantities, especially in baking. For example: 1/4 cups × 236.5882365 = 236.588 milliliters.
The conversion factor is 236.5882365. Historically, cups were often simply drinking cups, varying in size from household to household.
Always clarify whether a recipe refers to US customary or metric cups to ensure accurate conversions and avoid mistakes in your cooking or baking. They automatically perform the necessary conversions, saving you time and effort.
Accuracy in measurements is especially important in baking because baking relies on chemical reactions that require precise ratios of ingredients.
Spooning the flour into the measuring cup and leveling it off is a common technique to avoid over-packing.
When converting entire recipes, it’s important to consider all the ingredients and their respective volumes.
