Morphy Richards 42280
Hi, I am completely new to the world of bread making. I was given a second hand machine sometime ago and have only just taken it out of the box. To my dismay, I discovered that the ‘cup’ is missing and nowhere does it say the measurement of said cup???? Can anyone advise me how many ml one cup is please as I have been out and specially bought measuring cups for it? Thank you in advance, Andrea.

I think 250 ml
Personly coming from the Netherlands I never use this measuring methode. I weigt every thing in grams for bread baking is this a much more accurate methode. Ads it helps that water is 100 gram for 100 ml etc.
.
I just read the instruction manual for a different Morphy Richards model, 48286 :
https://www.morphyrichards.co.uk/Pdf/IB48286.pdf
Revision 1/10/03. And on page 12, under "Measuring ingredients", it says the included measuring cup is the American standard 8 fluid ounces, which would be 236.59 ml. (Those blighters! They stole our recipes!)
So if you have the manual for your machine, go to the "Measuring ingredients" section if there is one.

To see a reference to 236.59 ml/US-cup, go here and scroll down: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/cooking/cups-ml.php
Generally speaking, the US cup is "nominally" referred to as 240 ml. That's how it is marked on my measuring set.
That last web page also says the "metric cup" is 250 ml. Sort of makes sense, as an American cup is 1/4 of an American quart, (and an Imperial cup was 1/4 of an Imperial quart), so correspondingly a metric "cup" is 1/4 of a liter.
And a "cup" is different in different countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)
