| Standard (1×) | 30g (1.06 oz) | 2 tbsp + ½ tsp | 32.6 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 45g (1.59 oz) | 3 tbsp + 1 tsp | 48.8 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 60g (2.12 oz) | ¼ cup + 1 ¼ tsp | 65.1 mL |

Measuring 30g of Coconut Oil in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut oil weighs 218g when measured solid spooned or poured liquid, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.14 US cups (2 tbsp + ½ tsp). By contrast, using the melted liquid (above 76°f) measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 30g occupies 2 tbsp + ½ tsp (0.14 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 tbsp + ½ tsp (2.2 tablespoons total) using solid spooned or poured liquid technique. Coconut oil liquefies at 76°F (24°C). When solid, pack firmly into measuring cup; when warm and clear, measure as liquid.
