Whole Milk: US Cups to Milliliters (ml) & Grams (g) Conversion
Convert volumes of whole milk measured in US cups to its standard volume in milliliters (ml) and its approximate weight in metric grams (g).
| US Cups (Whole Milk) |
Milliliters (ml) (approx.) |
Grams (g) (approx.) |
| 1/4 cup | 59.15 ml (often 60 ml) | 61 g |
| 1/3 cup | 78.86 ml (often 80 ml) | 81 g |
| 1/2 cup | 118.29 ml (often 120 ml) | 122 g |
| 2/3 cup | 157.73 ml (often 160 ml) | 162 g |
| 3/4 cup | 177.44 ml (often 180 ml) | 182 g |
| 1 cup | 236.59 ml (often 240 ml) | 244 g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 354.88 ml (often 360 ml) | 366 g |
| 2 cups (1 Pint) | 473.18 ml (often 480 ml) | 488 g |
Important Considerations for Whole Milk:
- Whole milk is slightly denser than water. The density of whole milk is approximately 1.03 g/ml.
- 1 US Cup = 236.59 ml. For convenience, many recipes and charts round this to 240 ml.
- Therefore, 1 US cup of whole milk weighs approximately 244 grams (236.59 ml * 1.03 g/ml). If using the 240ml rounded cup, it's approx. 247g.
- This chart uses the more precise 236.59ml/cup for ml conversions and derives gram weights from that.
- Skim milk would be slightly denser, while lower-fat milks (1%, 2%) fall between skim and whole. Differences are usually minor for most recipes.
- For most cooking applications, volume measurements are standard for milk. Weight can be useful for large-scale baking or precise formulations.
