When I lived in Canada, my mother's cup set had a 250ml "1 cup" and my grandmother had a 284ml one. I just bought a measuring cup set here in Japan and the 1 cup measure is 255ml. If that's not bad enough, a "cup" is 150ml when measuring coffee and 180ml when measuring rice. Unfortunately, "cup" is not a standard measurement. :)

I think GP meant that in the U.S. it's pretty standard.

I live in Canada and my measuring cup is 250ml and so is my mother's. I think it's the standard here now. I've seen 284ml, but that's only on older ones.
