Let's work with an example now and see how much is 2.5 fl oz to cups. Imagine you want to feed your 10 hungry friends with pancakes. 🥞 Using, for example, the pancake recipe calculator, you find out how many ingredients you need to give each person 5 delicious pancakes. The amount of milk you need to use is 2.5 cups. But you have no idea how much a cup is! 😶 No worries - this fl oz to cups converter has got you covered.

Using our tool is simple, so after typing the 2.5 cups into the calculator, you immediately know that you need 20 fluid ounces. That's how to measure oz in cups!

Using our fl oz to cups converter is not the only solution. If you need to calculate fluid ounces to cups (or the other way around) often, you might find it helpful to know this liquid oz to cups conversion chart.

It's a funny thing to discover that just as a pancake doesn't always equal a pancake- one cup might not mean one cup.

In the US, there are two main cup volumes used:

• Legal cup - the measurement used in recipes, food labeling, and serving sizes. It is defined in the United States law as 240 mililiters. That's the one we use in fl oz to cups converter and in the above oz to cups conversion chart!
• Customary cup - slightly different (contains 236 ml) than a legal cup, is equal to half of a liquid pint.

But you can also meet a coffee cup - this cup is way different since it contains only 118 ml. It is a measure of coffee made with 148 ml of water.

Outside of the United States, it is even more fun. We can differentiate many more cups and therefore many more conversions from liquid oz to cups:

• Metric cup - is a little bigger than a legal cup and contains 250 ml.
• United Kingdom cup - technically, half of an imperial pint, about 284.13 ml (one imperial pint = 568.26 ml).
• Japanese cup - legally equated with ²⁴⁰¹/₁₃₃₁₀ litres, means 200 ml and is still used to describe amounts of rice and sake, the traditional alcoholic beverage.
