250 ml to Cups
250 ml is 1.06 US cups — in the kitchen, measure 1 cup + 1 tbsp. One US cup is 236.588 ml, so millilitres rarely land on a round cup fraction; the practical measure above is the closest you can actually scoop.
250 ml is also exactly one metric cup — the standard in Australia, New Zealand and much of Europe. If your recipe is Australian, 250 ml is its "1 cup", and the US cup it is asking you to use is 5% smaller.
