Ground cloves: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of ground cloves weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of ground cloves in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup ground cloves | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 100 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 106 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 120 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 84.5 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Ground cloves by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of ground cloves weighs about 6.25g, and one teaspoon about 2.08g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves to grams = 6.25g
- 2 tablespoons ground cloves = 12.5g
- 3 tablespoons ground cloves = 18.8g
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves = 2.08g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of ground cloves is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 2.27 cups of ground cloves — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of ground cloves weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of ground cloves?
Because one cup of ground cloves weighs about 100 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 100. So 100g of ground cloves is about 1 cups, 200g is about 2 cups, 250g is about 2.5 cups, and 300g is about 3 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure ground cloves accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh ground cloves on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of ground cloves weighs about 100 grams (3.53 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts ground cloves 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: Add ground cloves with a very light hand — even an extra pinch can turn a spice blend medicinal and bitter.
