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.

Reading a cup of milk accurately

Use a liquid measuring jug on a flat surface and read it at eye level; looking down from above can overstate a cup by a tablespoon. A cup of milk weighs about 245 g, so a scale is quicker when the recipe is in grams.

Results use a US customary cup (236.588ml). Spoon and level dry ingredients unless the ingredient name or recipe specifies packed, sifted, melted, chopped, or another condition. Brand, humidity, packing, and measuring technique can change a volume-based result. Reviewed August 15, 2026 against USDA FoodData Central and King Arthur Baking Ingredient Weight Chart.

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:
