 This is just cool April 15, 2008
T. Briggs
I got this after seeing it over and over on Good Eats. Now that I have it, I pick this over the standard Pyrex measuing cup every time. First, I like the plastic construction. It doesn't have the heft of thick borosilicate glass, and I wouldn't microwave stuff in it, but I'm also not worried about breaking or chipping it. Second, the upside-down cone is easier to hold steady when it's full of liquid than a heavy glass cup with the handle off to the side. I spill enough in the kitchen already, so anything that helps me be neater is a plus. Third, I love the different scales for different measures (cups, oz, tablespoons, metric, etc.). If I have multiple things to meaure in, I can just pour them in and read the scales instead of using extra measuring spoons and cups.
I would like to have another version of this in borosilicate glass for when I want to microwave in it, but I can use the Pyrex for that. I also haven't tried putting acidic liquids in in much, so I don't know how the plastic holds up to that. So far I'm really liking this measuring beaker though.
My favorite measuring cup March 22, 2008

This is the measuring cup I reach for first for all but very hot liquids. (I'm afraid hot water could damage it.) I am not sure why, but it seems much easier to measure liquid with this design. I guess this is why the scientific world adopted the beaker shape.
Nice design February 14, 2008

Nice design, well balanced and easy to read. Haven't found a use for the lid, but it fits tight and would probably work well for mixing (shaking) or storage.
 Defective on the original and the replacement January 12, 2008

It arrived for a Christmas present but the labels at the top showing the measurements were missing due to a printing error. I ordered a replacement and it was the same thing. Very disappointed.
interesting shape, great measuring January 9, 2008
Barbara Hamby (Springfield, MO USA)
I really like the unusual shape on this measuring cup. The only downside is that you can't fit a whisk in down to the bottom to stir together the wet ingredients before adding them to the dry, which you can generally do with the standard 2-cup measuring cups. I love that it has so many different options around the sides for measurements, including 1/8th cup marks. I have also been somewhat annoyed by the tendency of the base to collect water in the dishwasher - I'll have to try that recommendation to drill a small hole (but why the manufacturer couldn't just do that for us...) Altogether a very handy kitchen tool and I've already used it several times in the few weeks I've had it.
