500 Grams of Water to Cups
500 grams of water equals 2 ⅛ cups (2.08 US cups), based on 240 g per cup (1 US cup = 240 ml). In the kitchen, measure 2 cups + 1 tbsp. For best results, weigh water with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
Batch amounts are where cup measuring drifts furthest — small per-cup errors compound across 3 cups, so a scale pays off here.
