250 grams to cups – the simple conversion guide
Let’s say you need to figure out how many cups is 250 grams of butter.
Now, butter might seem easy to measure – but before you grab a spoon or a scale, there’s something you should understand.
Not all ingredients fill up a cup in the same way. Some are light and airy, like flour or lettuce, while others are heavier and more compact, like butter or peanut butter. That’s why converting grams to cups depends on what you’re measuring.
Butter is dense, meaning it’s thick, solid, and doesn’t leave a lot of empty space. That makes it more predictable when switching between weight and volume. It also means the same amount of butter will always fill up the same space in a measuring cup.
Different foods have different weights per cup, and that’s because of density. It shows how much space something takes up compared to how heavy it is. Luckily, butter’s density is pretty easy to work with.
So, when converting 250 grams of butter to cups, the real question is how much room does 250 grams of solid butter actually fill?
Here’s how you figure it out:
1. Your butter weighs 250 grams.
2. Find the average weight of butter per cup. For butter, it’s about 227 grams per cup.
3. Divide 250 by 227 to get the cup amount.
Use this simple formula:
Cups = weight in grams ÷ grams per cup
Now do the math:
250 ÷ 227 = about 1.1 cups
That means 250 grams of butter comes out to just over 1 cup – about 1 and 1/10 cups.
If your butter is super soft or starting to melt, you might notice a tiny difference, but it’s still close enough to bake with the right amount.

Approximately 250 grams of ground coffee is equivalent to roughly 2¾ cups, but this amount can vary depending on the fineness of the grind. When the grounds are super fine, they pack tighter and take up less space. Coarser grounds, on the other hand, fill the cup a bit more.
