Boissons, café, infusé, préparé avec de l'eau du robinet : combien de grammes dans une cuillère ?
Brewed coffee prepared with tap water is the standard drip coffee produced by passing hot water through ground coffee. At 1.002 g/ml, it is nearly identical to water in density — the dissolved coffee solids (oils, acids, caffeine) add only trace mass. A cup weighs approximately 237 g; a tablespoon weighs about 14.8 g — effectively indistinguishable from water at any measuring resolution available in a home kitchen. For baking and recipe purposes, brewed coffee is treated as a direct water substitute by gram weight: anywhere a recipe calls for coffee by weight, use the same figure you would for water. The main variable is brewing strength — a highly concentrated espresso-style brew may reach 1.010–1.020 g/ml, but standard drip brew at this dilution is at 1.002.

Questions fréquentes
- Can I substitute brewed coffee for water by the same gram weight in a recipe?
- Yes. Brewed coffee (1.002 g/ml, ~237 g/cup) is so close to water (1.000 g/ml, ~237 g/cup) that the gram weight is indistinguishable for any cooking or baking purpose. Substituting brewed coffee by weight for water adds flavor without changing the recipe's hydration balance.
- Does the brewing method (drip vs. French press vs. pour-over) change the gram weight?
- At standard brewing ratios (approximately 1:15–1:18 coffee-to-water ratio), the differences in dissolved solids between methods are too small to affect density measurably — all fall within 1.000–1.005 g/ml. Cold brew concentrate is the main exception, at much higher extraction ratios (1:4–1:8), it may reach 1.010–1.020 g/ml.
- How many grams of brewed coffee are in a standard 8 oz cup?
- An 8 oz measure (237 ml) of brewed coffee weighs approximately 237 g at 1.002 g/ml — essentially 237 g regardless of whether you measure by volume or weight. This is why brewed coffee is often simply called '237 g' in precision baking formulas.
