Milk Grams to Cups

Milk grams to cups at a glance

One cup of milk weighs 245 grams. Because milk is mostly water, grams and milliliters track almost one-to-one — 245g of milk is about 240ml.

This near-equality with water makes milk the easiest ingredient to convert: if a European recipe lists milk in grams, you can measure the same number in milliliters and be within 2%. Whole, skim, and plant milks all land within a few grams per cup of each other.

Dairy compared by cup weight

Swapping one type for another changes the weight of a cup, so a recipe written in cups is not portable between them:

Why a cup of milk varies

Thick dairy holds air when it is spooned into a cup, so the same "1 cup" can range from about 208g to 245g depending on how firmly it is packed. Press it level with the back of a spoon, or weigh it straight into the bowl.
