Depending on what blogs you follow or books you read, you will run into different measurements. The United States uses US customary system, which are very similar in most respects to imperial measurements.

These systems are often all over the map and not always easy to convert.

In contrast, metric measurements relate to each other in multiples of 10, making it easy to switch between them-- depending on whether you want to use a measuring cup or spoon.

While glass measuring cups often list both cups and ounces or cups and milliliters, they aren’t always printed next to each other, nor are they easy to compare visually. And that’s just volume that we’re talking about!

On top of that, add weight to the mix. In fact, there are recipes that call for certain ingredients, such as flour and sugar, by weight-- especially in baking recipes from blogs or cookbooks from outside the United States.

But here in the US we are used to measuring them in cups instead of grams. Hmmm, what to do in these cases?

Well, you could weigh them out with a kitchen scale, if you have one, or instead, use our cups to ounces to grams charts below for common ingredients.

You may print this general cup to ounce to milliliter chart for common measure conversions. But please be aware that it doesn’t work for every single ingredient, only those whose density is very similar to that of water.

Cups	Ounces	Milliliters
¼ cup	2 oz	60 mL
½ cup	4 oz	120 mL
¾ cup	6 oz	180 mL
1 cup	8 oz	240 mL
2 cup	16 oz	480 mL
