SwitchExplanation
Use this page when a recipe gives coffee grounds in cups and you need a repeatable gram target. The converter keeps the assumption explicit: 1 level US cup of coffee grounds = 85 grams.
That makes recipe scaling easier without switching between inconsistent cup charts. The page stays anchored to the US cup standard (236.588 mL). Coffee Grounds can still vary a little with handling, settling, and ingredient texture, so the page keeps one explicit basis for consistency.
