Is there no equivalent in Spain, Marianna? In Brazil we had tea cup (x�cara de ch�) and coffee cup (x�cara de caf�) for cup and quarter-cup.




Not really, as we mostly see weight measurements in recipes. That's why the kids interpret "cup" as "any cup", and they are surprised that there is a standard.

Fortunately, for this situation we have found an incredibly useful link!
