Prefferably in some "fast" measurements - like cups, spoons, etc. And also how much water should I add to the rice-cooker.

What are you cooking? It depends on how much there is to eat beside the rice. – rumtscho♦ May 21 '12 at 11:49

I usually use 1/4 cup per person for a smallish portion, and 1/3 cup per person if you're a bit hungrier. You'll probably want to check the instructions for your rice cooker to check exactly how much water you should add as different manufacturers vary. I believe the one I used in the past needed an equal quantity of water to rice.

Worked fine with ~1/3 cup rice and little more water. – Tomáš Fejfar May 21 '12 at 12:09

I usually cook 1/2 cup (measuring cup 8oz) rice per person...in the rice cooker or on the stove you want to double the water....ie 1/2 cup rice to 1 cup water....1/3 cup rice to 2/3 water...2cup rice to 4cup water...etc...
