“FLUID MEASUREMENT”
(liquids)
.
“DRY MEASUREMENT”
(bulk foods)
(such as ‘granulated sugar’)
.
It is principally used in the United States, Canada and Liberia where it is a legally defined unit of measurement, and is sometimes found in older recipes in the rest of the world using the metric system, and the meaning can differ significantly
Actual cups used in a household in any country may differ from the cup size used for recipes; standard measuring cups, often calibrated in fluid measure and weights of usual dry ingredients as well as in cups, are available
Using millilitre/decilitre measures is a recommended option to avoid ambiguity.

A customary “cup” of coffee in the U.S. is usually defined as 4 fluid ounces, brewed using 5 fluid ounces of water.
Coffee carafes used with drip coffee makers, such as Black and Decker models, have markings for both water and brewed coffee, since the carafe is also used for measuring water prior to brewing.
.
(a 12-cup carafe, for example, has markings for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cups of water or coffee, which correspond to 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 fluid ounces of water or 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 fluid ounces of brewed coffee, respectively, the difference being the volume lost to evaporation during brewing)
