Anchor Hocking Triple Pour Glass Measuring Cup, 8 Oz Measuring Glass

Love the 3 pour spouts. The markings are easy to read. The lid fits securely, but not air tight. I cover it more for convenience when I am cooking, so as not to contaminate it with other ingredients. Easy to clean in the dish washer, but hand wash the lid. Cost is worth it to me as with the raised marking I do not worry about them washing off.

The good: the measurements are hard-etched into the glass so there is nothing to wear-off or wash off. The glass will last for years as long as you don't break the glass..and the measurement marking will stay on for years. Obviously since there is no paint involved, the measurements will forever withstand dishwasher and/or any kind of washer. Perfect!! It's a slim measuring cup (unlike a "cup" shape measuring cup that is wide). Because it is slim, the measurements are slightly more accurate because a little change in volume will show up more clearly in a slimmer, taller measuring device than a short, fat, wide measuring device. Simple physics. So for more precise measuring, I use this one. For non-precise measuring, I use my regular measuring cups. Now the lid. . You can read other people's review about the lid and I have to agree as well: the lid is just... for show. It is not secure, not sealing, and does not work like a lid as if this is a tupperware or something. The lid is more for.. show. or allow you to stack something on top of the measuring cup, maybe. So, have the correct expectation up front: the measuring cup works great! The measurements are great and will never come off! It slim so it's great! And the lid--just throw it away and pretend it didn't come with a lid then you will end up feeling great!! (lol) The triple-pour spout... eh, it doesn't add much nor subtract anything. I haven't been wow'ed by the triple-pour spouts, nor does missing it cause me to feel regretful. Hope this review helped! :D

The measuring cup has a slightly odd shape due to the tri spout pouring. But, it's sturdy and the markings are actually on the glass and it won't wear off in the dishwasher.

I like the markings being formed into the glass itself, so they'll last forever. It can take a second longer to read without contrasting color, but that's the trade-off you make! I like the 3 pour spouts. However, I purchased this specifically because it had a lid. Unfortunately, the lid is pretty much useless! It doesn't actually snap into place in any way—just rests gently on the top. If I attach the lid as securely as it will go to the empty cup, then turn it upside down, the lid falls off. I wasn't expecting it to be completely airtight, but this isn't really much more useful than simply placing a saucer over the top. I guess it might work to minimize fridge taste if placing it in the fridge, but that's really all it would be good for IMHO. Quick note: I paid $3.49 for this, which felt like a bargain. However, the price has since increased by 4 times! I'd say the current price of $15 is a lot to pay for a small glass cup with an ill-fitting top--but $5-8 seems fair.

I do a lot of cooking and baking. I have bought OXO, Pyrex and many others & I have no beef with them. The problem with OXO, is that (I think it's painted lines) the lines wear off after around 2 years of usage. It had a great design where you can see the measurements inside as well as the side, but once that marking rub off all these measuring cups are useless. Enter Anchor. It has 3 different measurements: fractions (up to 1 cup), ounces (up to 8) & milliliters (up to 250ml). All are embossed and have 3 pouring spouts for pouring. It is pretty thick and feels sturdy. It's microwave safe and dishwasher safe. I am also showing 3 pics with all measurements (forgive if it's not crystal clear, but better than some). My only complaint is the pathetic plastic cover. You cannot slap this on & expect a tight seal. The only way I could possibly use it, is to keep dust out of it, but I just threw it away. It was horrible. I am happy to say that this will last for many years, compared to ones that fade, but I recommend this. I'm not sure if the accuracy is spot on, but.....my food tastes the same when I use them. Any further questions, feel free to ask. I'm going for the 2 cup version & hope it's just a wonderful as this one.

This is a terrific measuring cup. The main reason is that the numbers are raised with no printing. Unlike other measuring cups, where the printing eventually wears off, you can always see clearly the exact measurements. It's a little pricey, but well worth it, since it will last forever.

The pour glass measuring cup is high quality and heavy duty, with a weighted bottom and embossed measurements. However, I bought this specifically to have a measuring cup with a well-functioning lid. The lid is the reason why I deducted 2 stars. I would suggest the manufacturer make it out of silicone instead of plastic. I could not get the lid to stay secure on all three pour lips at the same time. If you are looking for a great lid, I found a silicone replacement lid for my standard Anchor glass 1-cup measuring cup which works great.

Ever tried to measure 5 ounces, when the cup is marked at 2, 4, 6, and 8? Or tried to guess where the markings are when about 70% of the line has faded/washed to obscurity? This marvelous cup solves both problems. The marking lines are built into the glass -- and you can measure any way you want. There are three sets available -- Ounces (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), or Cups (1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1), or Milliliters (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250). It's also sturdy. I have one for my pond chemicals; I dropped it one day and my heart sank as it hurtled toward the ground, but it didn't even chip or crack. The slim design takes up less room on the shelves and in the dishwasher than wider styles. I have two for the kitchen; I'm ordering 2 more because I use them so often I don't always have a clean one -- and my bigger, more awkward cups just don't compare anymore. A few reviews have mentioned that the lid doesn't fit tightly. Since other measuring cups don't have lids, I don't consider this a problem. People have been measuring liquids and pouring them into another container for mixing for generations. The advantages of this cup far outweigh any quibble about a tight lid -- particularly since I actually need 5 ounces of pond chemical, and one of my cookie recipes calls for 5 ounces of milk. Accuracy for the win!

I like the durability of the item and its clear, clean-lines glass, with NO painted-on measuring capacity numbers and letters on the item at all - they are purely -in-built- on the glassware itself and so much better than painted-on measuring stats. I use the measuring jug to measure milk and other liquids for my home-baking and the 3-lipped pouring rim is very useful in that I can pour from whichever angle I pick up the measuring jug from my work counter. This is a very neat and useful piece of glassware design and manufacturing from Anchor Hocking. Another significant USA production, which in itself represents the flair and innovation of USA thinking, design and manufacture. All good.

Verre gradué dont les dosages sont gravés (et donc ne peuvent s'effacer au lavage). Néanmoins il propose une petite contenance et les graduations sont peu variées (parfois en mesures anglaises). Le couvercle est pratique et le récipient est plutôt épais, stable et solide.

I've had measuring cups that have printed on markings that can come off. That was the main reason why I bought this cup with embossed markings. Its a heavy cup, really solid, and I like the 3 pour spouts. The markings on the bottom says that it is made in the USA, but its a bit rustic with some rough edges which kind of adds to its charm. Overall, it does its job and I am happy.

Es un poco más pequeño de lo que esperaba, pero es un buen producto, muy útil para repostería, pues puedes medir y vaciar fácilmente gracias a sus picos tipo jarra. Si haces hotcakes por ejemplo, y te sobra masa, la puedes guardar ahí mismo ya que tiene tapa. Si la recomiendo.

With three spouts, this measuring glass is very useful and easy to clean. Long lasting and of very good quality, one of the few kitchen favorites.
