How it is calculated
cups = grams ÷ 84. tbsp = cups × 16, tsp = cups × 48, metric cups = cups × 236.59 ÷ 250. The kitchen measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 tsp.
Example
Inputs: Weight = 250 g. Result: US cups: 2.98 cups; Tablespoons: 47.6 tbsp; Teaspoons: 142.9 tsp.
Limits and caveats
- The figure is for unsweetened cocoa, spooned and leveled; cocoa sifted before measuring weighs less.
- The kitchen measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 tsp, and chart figures to the gram.
- Metric cup (250 mL) and spoon values are scaled by volume from the 236.59 mL US cup figure.
Questions about this tool
How many cups is 250 g of cocoa powder?
250 g is about 2.98 US cups, or 2 3/4 cups + 3 tbsp + 1 3/4 tsp, at 84 g per cup.
Does this work for sweetened drinking chocolate?
No. Hot chocolate mix contains sugar and milk powder and weighs differently. This conversion is for unsweetened cocoa only.
Is the result in US or metric cups?
The main result is in 236.59 mL US cups, which the chart uses, and metric 250 mL cups are shown too: 250 g of cocoa powder is 2.82 metric cups.
