1000 g of peanut butter in cups
1000 g ≈ 3.88 cups
That is also 62 tablespoons, at 258 g per US cup.
How to measure it
3¾ cups + 2 tablespoons
3.88 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 3.88 cup in the drawer. The line above is the same quantity in the sizes you actually own, and following it lands within a teaspoon of 1000 g.
Spoon the peanut butter into the cup and level it off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down; on flour that alone is worth about 20%, which is more than the difference this page is measuring.

Why this number moves
Dense and sticky. Line the cup with plastic wrap or oil it first.
This page uses 258 g per US cup. If your recipe came with its own figure, use theirs — internal consistency matters more than which table is right.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1000 g of peanut butter?
3.88 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 3¾ cups + 2 tablespoons. One US cup of peanut butter weighs about 258 g.
How do I measure 1000 g of peanut butter without scales?
3¾ cups + 2 tablespoons. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts peanut butter and can add a fifth to the weight.
Is this the same in the UK?
The gram figure is, the cup is not. A US cup is 236.6 ml and the metric cup used in Australia and much of Europe is 250 ml, so a European cup of peanut butter weighs about 273 g. These pages use the US cup.
