What is a stere used for?

A stere is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic metre, traditionally used to measure stacked wood or other bulk materials.

What does one US cup represent?

One US customary cup equals 8 US fluid ounces or exactly 236.5882365 milliliters, commonly used for measuring ingredients in cooking.

Why might the converted volume differ from the actual material volume?

Because the stere measures stacked volume including air gaps, the equivalent volume in cups may not reflect the solid material's exact volume.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the tool to facilitate conversions between large volume units and common kitchen measurements.
Keep in mind that the stere measures stacked volume which may include air spaces.
Be aware of the different definitions of US cups, especially the standard versus legal cup.

Limitations

The stere accounts for the volume of stacked material including air gaps, so converted cup values might not represent the actual solid material volume.
US cups are designed for small ingredient volumes and may be impractical for very large quantities such as those measured in stere without scaling.
Choosing between standard and legal US cup definitions can introduce slight inconsistencies in exact conversions.
