Ground Coffee Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert ground coffee from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Ground coffee is roasted coffee beans milled to a fine or medium powder, used in baking for coffee cakes, tiramisu, mocha frostings, and spice rubs. One metric cup (250 ml) of ground coffee weighs around 90 grams or 3.17 ounces. Recipes typically call for it by the tablespoon or teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs about 1.8 grams.

Espresso grind packs far more tightly than a coarser drip grind, delivering stronger flavour per teaspoon. Measuring by weight avoids inconsistency between grind sizes when scaling a spice rub or baking recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ground coffee and coffee grounds the same thing?
Yes. Coffee grounds is another name for ground coffee, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of ground coffee weighs 90 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
What is 0.25 cups of ground coffee in tablespoons?
0.25 cups of ground coffee is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
How much does a cup of ground coffee weigh?
1 cup of ground coffee in grams is 90 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 180 grams and half a cup is 45 grams. Weighing ground coffee by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. See the full cup to grams chart for ground coffee, or use the converter on this page for any other amount. 1 cup ground coffee in grams

Instant Coffee

Instant coffee dissolves directly into batter or cream, leaving no grounds behind. Use it when a smooth texture is important, such as in frostings and no-bake slices. The flavour is slightly flatter than freshly ground coffee. See our Instant Coffee converter.
