You’re living on the edge. No cups, just a coffee mug and ambition. A standard coffee mug is roughly 1 to 1.5 cups. Fill your mug about halfway for a rough 2/3—if it’s a smaller mug. If it’s a monster mug, fill it one-third full. Use your eyeballs, not your panic.
Pro tip: A yogurt container (like a 6-ounce one) is about 3/4 cup. Fill it a little less than full, and you’ve got 2/3. MacGyver would be proud.
Tablespoons to the Rescue
One cup equals 16 tablespoons. So 2/3 of 16 is… calculator break! It’s 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. Yes, that’s two teaspoons short of 11 tablespoons. Use a tablespoon to scoop, then a teaspoon for the final dab.
What is 2 3 Cup Doubled? Things You Should Know
If you only have teaspoons, that’s 32 teaspoons for 2/3 cup. Good luck counting—but don’t. Just buy a measuring cup. Your sanity is worth $5.
