What 180 grams looks like

180 grams is 6.3493 ounces by weight, whatever the ingredient. The cups depend on what you are weighing. 180 g of all-purpose flour is exactly 1½ cups; 180 g of bread flour is exactly 1½ cups; 180 g of water is very close to ¾ cup; 180 g of dry rolled oats is very close to 2 cups.

At this size the kitchen fraction is a fair guide, but a level measuring cup and a spooned, unpacked fill matter: 180 g of flour is 1 ½ cups, while a scooped cup can carry 20% more.

180 grams in metric cups and ounces

In a 250 ml metric or Australian cup, 180 g of all-purpose flour is about 1.42 cups instead of 1.5 US cups, because the cup is bigger while the weight per cup stays on the same reference. By weight, 180 g is 6.3493 oz for any ingredient.

The calculation is always grams ÷ grams per cup: 180 ÷ 120 = 1.5 US cups for flour, 180 ÷ 226.7962 = 0.7937 for butter. Keep the unrounded figure while you work and round only what you write down.
