Don't believe some of the negative reviews. This measuring cup is perfect for almost every liquid and the convenience of being able to read it looking down from the top is primo. I'm going to address some of the bogus negative comments I've read:It measures differently looking down from the top compared to looking at the markings on the side. Not true. Looking at the side, you use the bottom of the meniscus that forms with water-based liquids to measure -- not the top of the meniscus. Looking from the top, you can't see the meniscus, so the top of the liquid actually touches the line, When you compare the two, if you're reading the bottom of the meniscus looking at the side of the cup and you have the top of the liquid just touching the mark and not going over, you'll find the two methods are totally spot on, one with the other.It doesn't pour well. It pours perfectly for me, every time. I frequently use it to pour water into my electric drip coffeemaker and also to boil just the right amount in my teakettle to brew a personal-sized pot of tea (I don't want to boil more water than I need because we're experiencing a horrible drought and water is a precious resource). Nothing dribbles down the outside of the cup, and the stream of liquid being poured goes right where I want it to go.These measuring cups can't nest. Well, I suppose if you had two of the same size, say two of the 2-cup size I'm reviewing here, it wouldn't nest. But I can tell you that I also own the 1-cup size and the small 1/4 cup (2 fl.oz.) size and they nest perfectly, readily and easily. That's how I store them, in fact. I'm considering ordering the 4-cup size, but I seldom have need for one that large, so I haven't bought one yet.These are very hard to clean if you measure oil in them. Perhaps if you are doing it by hand, but I put mine in the top rack of the dishwasher and that cleans it perfectly. (To prevent etching of glassware, I fill the uncovered detergent cup with liquid automatic dishwasher gel detergent, and I put a dishwasher detergent tablet in the covered cup. Works like a charm.)I still have my set of Pyrex measuring cups and if I'm boiling water in the microwave oven or melting butter or chocolate, I use my Pyrex cups for that. I also use the Pyrex cups to measure honey or syrup, because I want to get a sticky liquid out of the cup completely using a silicone spatula. For such a liquid, in these OXO cups, scraping a sticky liquid out with a spatula is difficult because of the "stepped" oval measuring ring provided for top viewing. That said, I don't measure syrup or honey all that often.I suppose if I were trying to use metric measurements all the time, I wouldn't like it so much. The ring shows cups on one side and fluid ounces on the other. Metric markings are only on the side. But I seldom have to measure anything using the metric system, since U.S. recipes provide liquid quantities in cups or fluid ounces.I simply wouldn't want to be without one of these wonderful measuring cups that you can read without crouching down to look at the side.

Lightweight yet sturdy and easy to handle and view measurements in this angled measuring cup.

It's s much easier to get measurements from this cup. I can just look down and see where the line is. Since it's plastic, you can't use it for hot liquids, and sometimes it can be a pain to clean due to the raised sides. So if you like mixing inside the measuring cup, Id recommend something else.

I love this measuring cup. The markings on the inside makes it so easy to read, I wish I’d gotten one sooner. I love the universal design elements of this measuring cup. This is definitely worth the buy.

Having the measurements visible from the top of the measuring cup is such a game-changer as you don't have to bend down and be eye level to measure liquids anymore. The cup feels sturdy, though I've noticed it scratches very easily. Just fine superficial scratches that create a swirly pattern. I would also feel more confident using a glass measuring cup for hot liquids.

Nice measuring cups. Great sizes to choose from

Good quality, easy and clear to read without bending down to read on sides or lifting up might be crooked. OXO known for quality and fair price. I prefer glass as for durability but it's heavy I store on top of shelf no need to worry about falling on my head or shattered.

High quality and sturdy this is a great measuring cup. Easy to read the measurements and makes cooking much easier

I really like this plastic measuring cup. The cup is angled and the measurements are easy to read. I like that it’s plastic because I have broken a couple of glassine that shatter on a hard floor. The cup is lightweight and durable.

Es de plástico. El material es ligero pero de buena calidad, se agarra fácilmente y con firmeza. Me gusta.Se ve muy bien en la cocina y su funcionalidad de poder ver las medidas desde arriba es muy útil y acertada.Mi única recomendación sería que al ser de plástico, no se utilizara para medir aceites o productos grasosos que dejen residuo, ya que será difícil de limpiar y de quitar la sensación de grasa.También no lo recomendaría para medir líquidos MUY calientes, no lo he probado pero el plástico se siente delgado y no se si sea resistente al calor.

O produto é muito bom, só achei um pouco caro pra tão pouca utilidade.

Wygodny odczyt ilości płynu

Works good as expected
