Cream Charger Calculator for Whipped Cream Dispensers
For a 1/2 pint (240 ml) whipped cream dispenser, you’ll typically need 1 standard 8 g cream charger. The same goes for a 1 pint (480 ml) dispenser—1 charger is usually enough. If you prefer a firmer, more stable whipped cream, you can safely use 2 x 8 g chargers for either size. Want to stock up? You can grab chargers directly from the shop and always have enough on hand.
| Dispenser Size | Approx. Volume | Recommended Chargers (8 g each) |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4 pint | 120 ml | 1 |
| 1/2 pint | 240 ml | 1 |
| 3/4 pint | 360 ml | 1–2 |
| 1 pint | 480 ml | 1–2 |
| 1 1/2 pints | 720 ml | 2 |
| 2 pints | 960 ml | 2–3 |
