80 Grams to Cups (Quick & Simple)

Whole almonds take up less space than chopped ones. At 80 grams, whole almonds measure close to ⅔ cup. If you chop or slice them, they’ll settle more loosely and fill about ¾ cup instead. However, roasted almonds may be slightly lighter due to moisture loss, so the measurement can shift a little.

This depends on the type and form of cheese. Shredded hard cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella weigh about 110 grams per cup, so 80 grams is around ¾ cup. On the other side, soft cheeses like ricotta or goat cheese are denser, so 80 grams is closer to ½ cup. Grating cheese finely will also make it pack more tightly into a cup.

For sourdough starter, 80 grams is a little over ⅓ cup. Since starters can vary in thickness depending on hydration levels, a stiffer dough might take up less space while a looser, wetter starter will fill the measuring cup more.

Fresh basil leaves are very light. Loosely packed, 80 grams is nearly 3 cups. If you tightly pack the leaves, you’ll get closer to 1½ cups. Moreover, dried basil is much more concentrated and the same weight fits into less than 1 cup.

For whole coffee beans, 80 grams measures just under 1 cup. Once ground, the same amount will fill closer to 1¼ cups because the grounds are finer and trap more air between them. The grind size also changes how densely it packs in the cup.

This varies based on whether they’re dry or packed in oil. For dry sun-dried tomatoes, 80 grams fills about 1 cup when chopped. However, if they’re in oil, they’re heavier and take up closer to ⅔ cup once drained and sliced.

Egg whites are fairly dense, and 80 grams equals just under ⅓ cup. Keep in mind, the number of eggs this represents will vary depending on size—about 2 to 3 medium egg whites should give you 80 grams.

Ground almonds, or almond meal, are airy and soft. 80 grams measures roughly 1 cup. Finer grinds will settle more densely, taking up slightly less space than coarser ones.

Kimchi’s volume depends on how tightly it’s packed and how much liquid it contains. Drained and chopped, 80 grams fills about ½ cup. If it’s wetter or less compact, the same weight can measure closer to ¾ cup.

Molasses is thick and heavy, so 80 grams equals around ¼ cup. Temperature matters—when it’s cold, molasses is dense and sticky and may cling to the sides of the cup more.

For plain yogurt, 80 grams is a bit more than ¼ cup. Thicker Greek yogurt is denser and will fill slightly less space for the same weight, closer to ¼ cup exactly.

For popped popcorn, 80 grams fills roughly 8 cups because it’s so light and airy. Unpopped kernels are much denser, and 80 grams is only about ½ cup.

Butter is easy to measure because it’s dense and uniform. 80 grams of butter comes to about ⅓ cup plus 1 teaspoon when solid, but if melted, it’s slightly less—closer to ⅓ cup flat—as the heat removes air pockets and allows it to settle more tightly.
