Amazon.com Review
This is a single measuring cup that will replace the others floating around your kitchen--even the teaspoons! Cone-shaped, with a sturdy base and tight-fitting lid, this little beaker is perfect for those recipes with odd amounts, such as "two cups plus one tablespoon." There's a lip around the top edge that acts beautifully as a spout--no dripping when pouring liquids, from water to beaten egg yolks. Measurements include pints, cups, ounces, ml/ccm, tablespoons, and teaspoons, and all are written clearly in black print. The lid fits snugly enough that you can snap it on and shake the beaker for easy mixing of ingredients. --Jill Lightner

3 out of 5 stars I hate those puddles of nasty dishwashwer water that pool in the bottom of this beaker.   June 20, 2008
W. Barrett (tampa, fl United States)
Yep, it measures just fine but I just don't understand why they make things that are supposed to go in the dishwasher with a bottom designed to catch water. You know - you roll out that top dishwasher rack and grungy water spills down the side of the beaker and all over anything under or near it. If I had realized that the bottom of this beaker was hollow, I would never have purchased it. The only reason it's still in my cabinet is I sometimes use it as a chart to convert measurements.

And if you don't you should try it. It makes measuring so much easier than traditional cups. And there's a lid too!


5 out of 5 stars Really the perfect beaker!   June 7, 2008

I owned one of these for about 10 years before I dropped it and it broke. I was very happy to find this and I bought two! There are never any drips when pouring wet ingredients from this measuring cup. I use it all the time and would recommend it highly!


5 out of 5 stars Beaker is the hapless assistant of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.   May 2, 2008

Dr. Honeydew's experiments and inventions always seem to go awry, and Beaker is their perpetual victim. He has been shrunk, cloned, deflated, turned invisible, and blown up, but he always comes back for more.

Much like the favorite character on the muppet show, Emsa's Perfect Beaker is a solid performer.

yes, it has measurements in all conversions which is fantastic for cooking, Easy to clean, Easy to store, no need to have a million measuring devices. Its all in one perfect for liquids and solids. Oh, and the print on the cup doesn't come off like some of the cheap ones.

5 out of 5 stars This is just cool   April 15, 2008

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.
