Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Cup?
A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

1 gram of water is 0.00 cups. This conversion uses the ingredient's density and scales proportionally - pick an amount or try the calculator.
If you have a kitchen scale, weighing water gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the grams to cups conversion for water typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of water fills a different number of cups than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
