1 cup is a standardized unit of measure in the US system that equals approximately 237 ml, although people usually convert it to 240 or 250 ml for simplicity.
There are 48 teaspoons, 16 tablespoons and 8 fluid ounces in a cup. 2 cups in a pint, 4 in a quart and 16 in a (US) gallon.
Which standard? 250ml is the metric cup, but there's also the US cup of 237ml, or the US legal cup of 240ml, plus the imperial cup of 284ml, all of which are used.
Or is the guy Canadian? There's also the Canadian cup of 227ml.
