Now, you might be thinking, "But wait, what about all the other types of cups out there?" And to that, I say, good question! You see, there are dry cups, liquid cups, and even British cups (which, might I add, are a whole different story).
But don't worry, we're keeping it simple here. We're just talking about your run-of-the-mill, American cup. And in that case, the answer remains the same: 4 quarter-cups per cup. Unless, of course, you're trying to measure out something really precise, like the amount of coffee grounds needed for the perfect cup of joe.
In that case, you might need to bust out your trust calculator and get all mathy on us. But for most recipes, 4 quarter-cups will do the trick. And if you're still unsure, just remember: it's all about the rhythm of the recipe - 1 cup, 4 quarter-cups, 1 cup, 4 quarter-cups...
