How to measure brewed coffee accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh brewed coffee on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of brewed coffee weighs about 237 grams (8.36 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts brewed coffee and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: A small amount of strong brewed coffee intensifies chocolate without tasting of coffee — a classic trick in brownie and devil's food recipes.
