How to use it
- Enter weight, cup standard and your own weighed grams per cup (optional).
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
cups = grams ÷ 167 g per US cup (236.59 mL). With a 250 mL metric cup divide by 176.47 g. The leftover part of a cup is shown in tablespoons (16 per US cup, 15 mL each in metric), rounded to the nearest half spoon.
Example
Inputs: Weight = 1,000 g, Cup standard = US cup (236.6 mL). Result: Cups: 5.99; In cups and spoons: 6 cups + 0 tbsp; Volume in millilitres: 1,417 mL.
Limits and caveats
- Uses the USDA semolina figure (167 g per cup) with no split between fine and coarse.
- How you fill the cup changes the weight: spoon it in and level it without packing, or weigh your cup once and enter the figure in the optional box.
- USDA figures are rounded to the whole gram per cup, and grain size, variety and moisture make your real weight a little higher or lower.
