Cup & Gram

240 Grams of Water to Cups

240 grams of water equals 1 cup, based on 240 g per cup (1 US cup = 240 ml). In the kitchen, measure 1 cup. For best results, weigh water with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.

This is a typical single-recipe amount, where how you fill the cup matters most: a level, consistent fill keeps batches repeatable.
