Cups are a fixed measurement for liquids. 1 cup is usually 250 mls in
Canada...It varies a bit anywhere from 240 to 300 mls depending on
country. Mostly a cup is used in American recipes for most things from
flour to milk to butter to sugar to nuts. It helps standardize thing to
some extent.

8 ounces (oz) is 1 cup.
16 oz (2 cups) is a pint
2 pints are a quart
4 quarts are a gallon. But british and american fluid ounces aren't the
same size. An Amnerican quart is 32 oz and a British quart is closer to
40 American oz.

So I'd try 250 mls X 2 (500 mls of Expresso) and 250 mls of the chocolate
chips the first time and adjust to your preference from there.

Hope this helps
