1 Cup Milk in Grams
1 cup of milk weighs:
240g
US cup (240 ml)
250g
Metric / AU cup (250 ml)
American recipes mean the 240 ml cup; Australian, British and New Zealand recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. If the recipe does not say, the cuisine usually tells you — see the full cups to grams guide.
Milk is very slightly denser than water, so a US cup comes in at about 240 g. In practice you can treat milk and water as interchangeable on a scale — the difference across a cup is under 5 g.
