US tablespoons to millilitres multiplies by 14.7868 (1 US tbsp = 14.7868 mL). Three tablespoons are 44.36 mL; the cooking shorthand "15 mL = 1 tbsp" rounds up by under 1.5 %, fine for most recipes. The Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 mL — a real trap when following an Australian recipe with US spoons, since it under-measures by a quarter. UK and Canadian tablespoons match the 15 mL metric convention.
Coffee brewing guides that specify grounds by the tablespoon get cross-checked against a metric kitchen scale's volume markings using this conversion. 1 US tbsp is 14.79 mL; 2 tbsp (a common pour-over dose) is 29.57 mL; 6 tbsp is 88.72 mL. Because the UK tablespoon (17.76 mL) and the common 15 mL metric tablespoon are both meaningfully different from the US figure, always confirm which tablespoon a recipe means before converting — the gap compounds quickly across a multi-tablespoon recipe.
