Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other members of the Commonwealth of Nations—being former British colonies that have since metricated—employ a "metric cup" of 250 millilitres. Although derived from the metric system, it is not an official metric unit.
| 1 cup | = | 250 | millilitres |
| = | 16 2⁄3 | international tablespoons (15 ml each) | |
| = | 12.5 | Australian tablespoons (20 ml each) | |
| ≈ | 8.80 | imperial fluid ounces | |
| ≈ | 8.45 | U.S. customary fluid ounces |

The cubic metre (in British English and international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or cubic meter (in American English) is the SI derived unitof volume. Its SI symbol is m3. It is the volume of a cube with edges one metre in length. An alternative name, which allowed a different usage with metric prefixes, was the stère, still sometimes used for dry measure (for instance, in reference to wood). Another alternative name, no longer widely used, was the kilolitre.
