Around the world, MOST Cup makers seem to make them to hold 250 ml which is exactly the same as 250 cc, when full to the brim. Most kitchen measuring containers have a mark showing 250 ml and 1 cup at the same level.

ANSWER An official Standard CUP holds 227 ml (8 fluid Ounces) The reason for the differences ( 227 official and 250 actual) is because when a cup is used to make a drink, we never fill it to the very brim, so as to avoid spillage. Cooks & Chefs usually fill cups to the brim when using it to MEASURE either solids such as flour, or liquids such as milk.
