Ackers 7-Piece Glass Measuring Cup Set, Borosilicate Beaker Style Nesting Liquid Measuring Cups

Great Quality and Very Useful for DIY ProjectsI really like the Ackers BORO3.3 Glass Measuring Cups. The glass feels sturdy and durable, and I love that they are easy to clean and reuse. The measurements are clear and make it much easier to measure ingredients accurately.The pouring spout is also very helpful because it allows me to pour liquids without making a big mess. The different sizes are convenient, especially when working with both small and larger amounts.I’ve found these measuring cups especially useful for DIY projects like making candles, body butter, oils, and other homemade products. They make measuring, mixing, and pouring much easier. Overall, they feel like a good-quality set and are definitely worth having if you do a lot of cooking, baking, or DIY projects.

I just received these measuring cups today, and I'm very pleased with them. The manufacturer's packaging was excellent, which is a good thing because the outside shipping box was totally smashed on the bottom side of one end. But the manufacturer's box protected them.I had a glass Pyrex one-cup measuring cup and broke it after many (40+??) years. I needed to replace it, and it looked like the two-cup Ackers one would take up no more space in my crowded cabinet than the one-cup Pyrex one, except for additional height, because there is no handle and the glass is thinner. The glass IS a LOT thinner than my very old Pyrex cup. Borosilicate glass is supposed to be strong, but I seriously doubt it would survive a fall even onto a vinyl floor, so do be careful with these!!If your shelf isn't very tall, the largest cup is just shy of 5 inches tall - 4 and 7/8 inches. The cups nest nicely, so three cups in the space of one. Nice! My shelf isn't quite tall enough, so I will have to lay the set on its side, or find a different place for them.The largest cup shows measurements up to the 2 cup mark - one side of the line shows every 1/4 up to 2 cups. The other side of that same line shows every 1/3 up to 2 cups. Another column shows ml markings up to 500 ml. A third column shows ounces up to 18 oz., in one-ounce increments. Yes, up to 18 oz., not just 16 oz. VERY useful measurements!The middle size cup is marked the same way, up to 1 cup, up to 250 ml, up to 8 oz.The smallest cup is marked the same way, up to 1/2 cup, up to 150 ml, up to 5 oz. Yes, 5 oz. (150 ml is more than 4 ounces, very slightly over 5 ounces.)These measuring cups will be very useful, if I can just be careful enough not to break one!I do recommend them, if no one using them is prone to dropping things on the floor!!! I hope this was helpful!!!

Compact design (no handle) frees up space in the cabinet.As a Chemical Engineer, I love how familiar it is and that it’s just like a 500 mL beaker used in a Chemistry lab. Maybe that’s just the nerd in me.Markings are still visible after many uses and haven't worn off.One caution: the glass is quite a bit thinner than most measuring cups so you can’t abuse it like most. And little kids may accidentally break it when tossing something in the dishwasher near it. But I’ve owned the thick ones built like a tank but the markings wear off.Not this beaker / measuring cup.Just like a beaker in the lab, the markings are rugged and hold on even in harsh environments.

bought the Ackers High Borosilicate Glass Measuring Cup Set, and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools. The glass quality is excellent — clear, sturdy, and heat‑resistant. Because it’s made from high borosilicate glass, it handles hot liquids without cracking or fogging, which is a huge upgrade from the plastic cups I used before.The measurement markings are sharp and easy to read, and the V‑shaped spout pours cleanly with no drips. Each cup in the set (2 oz, 4 oz, and 8 oz) is lightweight but feels solid, and the nesting design makes storage simple.I especially appreciate how precise these cups are. Whether I’m measuring small amounts for baking or mixing drinks, the accuracy is spot‑on. They also clean up effortlessly — no staining, no lingering smells, and they’re dishwasher‑safe.If you want a reliable, well‑made set of measuring cups that look great and perform even better, this Ackers set is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone who cooks or bakes regularly.

Look, I've had these 3 little beakers for only a couple of days...I usually wait until I've used a product several times, over a couple of months, before I write a review. But I wanted to counter some of the negative reviews of being too thin, fragile, and with inaccurate and contradictory markings.I can't speak to their actual durability or toughness. They are supposed to be "high borosilicate" glass, like the material used by Pyrex, which - compared to normal soda-lime glass - is tougher, harder to break, and better able to withstand large, rapid changes in heat. That's why it is used in science labs, for light bulbs, etc. Many negative reviews say these small beakers are too thin, and shatter easily, sometimes having pieces inexplicably just fall out of the sides. As to being too thin, they seen pretty close to the thickness of the lab equipment I used in a high school chem lab 65 years ago. They aren't the thick, heavy glass used in Pyrex measuring cups. They aren't supposed to be. However, if the reports are true of frequent breakage or shattering for no apparent reason, then they are clearly NOT borosilicat glass.So far I've checked the accuracy of the markings, and on my set, they are spot-on. I have an accurate 2-oz measure, and used it to add water - ALL of the markings were correct, on all 3 beakers. Maybe not to the mL, but close enough that my old eyes couldn't find fault. As to the markings for ounces not lining up with cup or tbsp markings, they do on my set. Acker put the ml scale between scales for oz and cup (on the big one), and between oz and tbsp on the middle one, and that makes it hard to do a side-by-side comparison, but when I put exactly 8 oz of water in the big one, the water was right at the marks for both 8 oz and 1 cup. I'm not calling anyone a liar, I'm only saying the marks on my set are right.I've used all 3 beakers to measure alcohol in making small batches of shellac. The pour spouts make it easy to avoid spills and drips. I measure the shellac flakes by weight, so the markings don't come into play there, but the 8 oz beaker is handy for that as well. The alcohol hasn't affected the markings, they seem durable.Again, I am NOT vouching for the durability of these beakers, but for me, so far, they have been very handy, and the fact that I can nest them is convenient, takes less space...though I AM using a kleenex between them...I'm paying attention to the reports of fragility.

This precision glass measuring cup is an excellent addition to both my kitchen and home bar. It’s perfect for measuring small amounts, with clear, easy-to-read markings for tablespoons and ounces. The glass feels sturdy and well-made, and the measurements are much more accurate than trying to estimate with regular spoons.

If you're a science nerd like me, you'll love these measuring cups. They are my absolute favorite! They look great, are perfectly accurate, and are made of borosilicate glass that allows them to be thin to the point of being delicate. But they're not delicate. Borosilicate glass is used in chemistry labs for its durability and thermal tolerance. Going from freezing cold to boiling hot is no problem for this kind of glass. Having three different sizes allows me to choose each one for specific applications. The different units of measure give me the ability to be precise, no matter the recipe!

I run a small batch of apothecary, and I loved the multi ability of measurement options with this particular set. I’ve looked at a lot of different sets of beakers the readability of the markings is very clear very easy. There’s multiple ways to read it milliliters ounces cups. I love that there’s so much diversity between the different containers. I love that they all nest within one another. It definitely saves space and it was a great value for the money and because they’re glass my essential oils rinse out, not leaving a smell behind. I’m pretty please. The price point on this was perfect.

Perfect for those precise measurements!

estan muy bien hechos, justo lo que necesitaba para precisión en medidas pequeñas

Perfecto

I am using these to measure out carrier oils to make beard oil and they are perfect. They feel solid enough and are nice a legible. I am very happy with these measuring cups.

Just what I was looking for in order to ensure I pour exactly 150ml of wine into glasses. It's the only way I can get the 'standard' restaurant amount and five glasses to a bottle. The glass is light. The spout is useful. Clear markings.
