You spot “180 grams” in an old recipe and think, “Cool, cool… wait, what does that even mean in cups?”
Well, the thing is, ingredients all have their own vibe – flour floats, sugar sinks, and don’t even ask what coconut does. Grams deal with weight and cups with volume, so the answer isn’t always obvious.
It depends on the density of the ingredient.
But you’re in luck! We’ve got a quick converter with over a hundred ingredients, some super helpful printables, and ingredient-by-ingredient tips to make your life a bit easier.

180 grams to cups conversion explained clearly
Let’s suppose you’re in the middle of prepping those delicious, gooey brie and pear puff pastry bites. The oven’s warming up, the pears are sliced just right… and then you spot it: the recipe says 180 grams of Brie. But you can’t find your scale, so your measuring cups are calling your name.
So now you’re wondering – how many cups of cheese is 180 grams, anyway?
It’s not the easiest to measure, and here’s why: Brie isn’t your average cheese. It’s soft, creamy, and depending on how warm it is, it can be stubbornly sticky or melt-in-your-hands soft. Sometimes you’re slicing it straight from the fridge, other times it’s already starting to ooze at room temp.
And then there’s the size of the pieces. If you cut Brie cheese into smaller chunks, how big or small those chunks are will change how tightly they fit into the measuring cup. Larger pieces leave more empty space, while finely diced bits settle in more closely and fill the cup more efficiently.
That’s where density comes into the picture. In plain terms, density tells us how much space a certain weight of food takes up. Brie has a moderate density for a soft cheese and it’s not as heavy as cream cheese, but it’s not light like whipped ricotta either.
Still, we can make a good estimate using average values.
Let’s break it down:
You need 180 grams of Brie cheese.
Typically, 1 cup of cubed or sliced Brie weighs about 225 grams.
This is the simple conversion formula:
Cups = weight in grams ÷ grams per cup
Now just divide:
180 ÷ 225 = 0.8 cups
So, 180 grams of Brie cheese comes out to about 3/4 cups – or actually, just under a full cup.
Of course, if your Brie is extra soft and you pack it tightly, it might take up a little less space. If you leave it loose or cut it in thick wedges, you’ll get a little more volume for the same weight.

180 grams to cups FAQs
For granulated sugar, 180 grams to cups comes out to about ⅞ cup. Sugar is dense and packs evenly, so whether you scoop or spoon it, the measurement is fairly consistent. Brown sugar would be different (especially if packed) but for white granulated sugar, that’s your go-to.
If you’re working with solid butter straight from the fridge, 180 grams of butter to cups is roughly ¾ cup plus 2 teaspoons. Once melted, it settles more tightly and ends up closer to ¾ cup flat. The form changes the volume slightly.
Yogurt is heavier than it looks. For full-fat or Greek-style yogurt, 180 grams to cups measures about ¾ cup. Thinner or nonfat versions may take up just a little less room.
Measuring flour is somewhat tricky because it’s light and easy to compress. If you’re spooning and leveling, 180 grams of all-purpose flour to cups equals roughly 1⅓ cups. Scooping from the bag packs it down and might reduce the volume slightly.
It depends on the type of biscuit and how it’s prepared. 180 grams of crushed dry biscuits like graham crackers gives you just about 1½ cups. If they’re chunkier or buttery (like digestives), the same weight could be closer to 1⅔ cups.
The size and shape of the kibble makes a difference. For small kibble, 180 grams of dog food to cups is usually around 1½ to 1¾ cups. Puffier pieces may take up more space and fill closer to 2 cups.
Evaporated milk is thicker than regular milk, but still a liquid. 180 grams to cups (evaporated milk) is just under ¾ cup, about 0.71 cups to be precise. For accurate results, use a liquid measuring cup.
It depends on how tightly it’s packed and whether it’s raw or cooked. For raw ground beef, 180 grams to cups is close to ¾ cup, maybe a touch more. Cooked, it shrinks and becomes denser, bringing the same weight closer to ⅔ cup.
Mascarpone is rich and creamy, almost like a soft butter. 180 grams to cups (mascarpone) comes out to approximately ¾ cup. If it’s cold and firm, it’ll measure a bit more tightly than if it’s softened.
180 grams of Nutella to cups measures close to ⅔ cup. If it’s cold, it may not settle as evenly; slightly warmed Nutella scoops more cleanly and evenly into the cup.
For dry, uncooked polenta, 180 grams to cups is about 1¼ cups. Finely ground polenta might pack down a little tighter than coarse grind, but the difference is minimal unless you’re measuring very precisely.
Self-raising flour is similar to all-purpose in density. If you’re spooning it in and leveling off, 180 grams to cups of self-raising flour comes to about 1⅓ cups. Make sure it’s not too compacted, or you might end up with too much in your recipe.
