Officially, a US Cup is 240ml (or 8.45 imperial fluid ounces.) This is slightly different from an Australian, Canadian and South African Cup which is 250ml.
So if you are living in America, then the measurements would slightly vary because the size of the American cups and spoons are slightly smaller than the Canadian cups and tablespoons. So 16 tablespoons would be equal to 1 cup.
