About cups
The measuring cup is the backbone of US home cooking. Standardized by Fannie Farmer in the 1890s to replace vague instructions like 'a tea-cup full,' the US Customary Cup is exactly 8 US fluid ounces. Note that the 'Metric Cup' used in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand is 250 mL, slightly larger than the US cup (approx. 237 mL). Baking with the wrong cup type can lead to recipe failures! cups are commonly used in Baking recipes (flour, sugar), Rice cooker measures, Coffee maker water reservoirs, and Liquid measuring cups.
A standard coffee mug is roughly 1.5 cups.
About cubic meters
The cubic meter (m³) is the SI derived unit of volume. It represents the space occupied by a cube with edges of one meter. It is a massive unit compared to liters, equal to 1,000 liters. It is primarily used in industry, utility billing (water and gas), and shipping (freight volume). One cubic meter of water weighs exactly one metric ton. cubic meters are commonly used in Water bills, Natural gas meters, Concrete and soil delivery, and Shipping containers, Swimming pool volume.
A standard hot tub holds about 1.5 cubic meters of water.
