The discussion about cups and pints usually go beyond beers and wines. The skilled chef of modern times loves to measure each ingredient to its perfect level. That is the reason behind so much queries about how many cups are in a pint? The definition of pint carries one more reference in regard to dry Pinta The chef fraternity certifies 1 U.S. dry pint equal to 18.6 US fluid ounces or 2.325 cups. You can say that beer and wine drinkers in a restaurant follow a measurement of 14 ounces. It is a practical conversion though the true values are 16 ounces.

How many cups are in a Pint

There are US pints and UK pints. The US pint has 16 fluid ounces and the UK pint has 20 fluid ounces. I do not know what happened when Britain joined the European Common Market. My standard cooks measuring scoops show me that a cup has 250 milliliters. A US pint has 473 mls and a UK pint has 568mls so in UK a pint is more that 2 metric cups and in US it is less than 2 metric cups. Confusing isn’t it? That is why I stick with metrics, and thankfully Australia went metric in 1970.

We don’t really use cups as a measurement in the same way they are used in the US. It would be a strange comparison anyway because a US pint isn’t equal to a UK pint, and also a UK pint is 20 fl. oz. rather than 16. Much easier just to stick with milliliters, especially as 1 liter of water has a mass of 1 kilogram and a volume of 1000cm³.
