How to measure water
Use a liquid measuring cup (clear, with a spout) on a flat counter and read the line at eye level. It holds the same US cup as a dry measuring cup; it just leaves room above the line so nothing spills.
Other charts may list a different weight for a cup of water: it depends on how the cup is filled and on the brand. The numbers on this page come from one measured USDA portion (1 serving 8 fl oz = 237 g), the same data the LevelSpoon converter uses, so the page and the app always agree.
US cups and spoons (1 cup = 236.6 ml). “≈” marks the nearest amount you can measure, within 2.5 %.
