Centiliters to US Cups Converter

The centiliter (cL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one-hundredth of a liter, commonly used in European countries for beverage and spirit bottle sizes. Wine and spirit labels in the EU frequently display volume in centiliters alongside milliliters. One centiliter equals exactly 10 milliliters or about 0.338 fluid ounces.

The US cup is a volume unit equal to 8 US fluid ounces or approximately 0.2366 liters, the standard measurement in American recipes and cookbooks. When a recipe calls for 'one cup of flour' or 'half a cup of sugar,' it refers to this specific volume, not a drinking vessel of arbitrary size. One US cup equals exactly 236.588 milliliters.
