But most actual cups are 200ml, whereas a pint is 470ml. So if you use a real cup as a measuring tool you are short on the pint.
A cup is 236 ml. I was always taught 240 ml but google converts to 236.
Currently used definitions of the cup:
The US customary cup (236.6 mL) is 8 US customary fluid ounces. The US customary fluid ounce (29.6 mL) is 1/16 of a US fluid pint.
The US legal cup (240 mL) is 8 US nutritional fluid ounces. The US nutritional fluid ounce is 30 mL.
The metric cup is 250 mL
Historically used definitions of the cup:
Ths British cup (284.1 mL) is 10 imperial fluid ounces. The imperial fluid ounce (28.4 mL) is 1/20 of an imperial fluid pint
The Canadian cup (227.3 mL) is 8 imperial fluid ounces
Let's just forget about the whole thing.
