Where 218 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Oil, coconut” = 218 g. FDC 171412

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Coconut oil”): 226 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 218 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 8 g (3.67%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.

Coconut oil is solid below about 24 °C (76 °F). Melted, a cup weighs 218 g (USDA). Solid, pack it into the cup like butter; King Arthur's ½ cup at 113 g gives 226 g.

How to measure coconut oil by the cup

Press it firmly into a dry measuring cup with the back of a spoon, then level the top. It should hold the cup's shape when turned out.
