The Math

The formula: coffee tablespoons to grams

Frequently Asked

Common questions about coffee tablespoon to grams conversion

One tablespoon of coffee weighs about 6.3 grams. This uses a density of 0.42 g/ml and a 15 ml tablespoon, so grams = 1 × 15 × 0.42.

Two tablespoons of coffee weigh about 12.6 grams, since each tablespoon is about 6.3 grams.

Multiply the tablespoons by 15 ml, then by the density of coffee, 0.42 g/ml. Grams = tablespoons × 15 × 0.42. The calculator applies this for you.

About 15.87 tablespoons. Divide the grams by 6.3, the weight of one tablespoon of coffee.

A teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon, so about 2.1 grams of coffee.

Half a tablespoon of coffee is about 3.15 grams.

Three tablespoons of coffee weigh about 18.9 grams.

Because coffee has a density of 0.42 g/ml. A tablespoon fixes the volume at 15 ml, and weight = volume × density, so 15 × 0.42 = 6.3 grams.

A US tablespoon is 14.79 ml instead of 15 ml, so one US tablespoon of coffee is about 6.21 grams, a little less than the metric 6.3 grams.

Use a level tablespoon for these values. A heaping spoon holds more and makes the grams less predictable. For exact baking, weigh coffee on a kitchen scale.
