Review on WirthCo 94150 Funnel King Graduated Measuring Container - 3L Capacity for General Use by Montez Vazquez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

OK for fluid ounces. Just odd for metric units (milliliters)

If you use US units all the time, this measuring cup is perfect for you. But when you need to measure any amount of ml less than a liter in the metric system, then that's a bit odd. The mug holds one litre, but the scale is shown in fractions of litres; 3/4 liter, 1/2 liter and 1/4 liter. It's really uncomfortable. Let's say you need 600ml. Well, you have to remember that 1/2 liter = 500ml. Then you need to count the divisions and by finding the 5 basic divisions between 1/2 liter and 3/4 liter you realize that each division = 50 ml. So 1/2 liter + 2 divisions = 600 ml. Excellent work! Now repeat this silly game for each amount in the metric you need to measure. Again, if you're not interested in measuring anything in milliliters, then you're going to have to work hard. The plastic looks solid and the jug is solid. But for the weird metric mark, I put 3/5!

Pros
  • Easy to read US divisions, metric printed in blue
Cons
  • boring packaging
