so I started using this measuring cup today and noticed that the handle is bent and it's not aligned with the pouring spout.is this normal?

No, it is not normal. Return it to vendor and let Amazon know it is defective and could cause harm. Your return shipment fee could be waived since return is not your fault.

NO! All the Pyrex measuring cups (2, 4, 8 cups) are sloppy when pouring. But the handles and pouring lips are aligned.

I believe mine is similar, but it is not enough to through my holding it off-balance. Because it did not bother me, I did not think too much of it. Plus I wanted this thing, and returning things is a hustle, so I just kept it.

Mine didn't either. I'm planning to send mine back. Also the measurements are wrong in comparison to my old measuring cups. I feel like I got ripped off.

We were able to rotate the spout after install without difficulty. After installation I noticed that the spout was too close to the edge of the sink and therefore hard to use with a mug or pot. I simply pushed the spout from the spout itself (not the base) and moved it about an inch. We may have had it a little looser than you do - but, it's not an easy push nor will it move more than the inch.

I've never had this problem. The spout is a small opening and the cup seal is very tight. In fact, I have the mug beside me right now. No issues here.

I can move pot handle only left off center too. You probably use too fine grinded coffee. Try grind it more coarse.

I purchased this for my sister as a Christmas gift. The spout on hers broke as well. She ended up taking it back to a major department store because she wasn't sure where I got it. The saleswoman told her that is a known problem with this jug. She exchanged it for another brand. Hope this helps!

The same thing happened to both my mother & sister in Law. All brands of glass measuring cups markings will deteriorate in the dishwasher. I only hand wash mine.

Check to be sure that the plastic needle actually punctured the bottom of the K cup. Sometimes the bottom of the cup caves in, but doesn't get punctured. I snap the cup into the base quickly to make sure it works right.

If you want to hold it in left hand, make sure the spout opening is facing right. Then turn to tighten the spout should be in the correct position to drink from. Reverse for right hand holding. Hope this helps

If you start to screw on the lid 180 degrees from where you usually start it, it will tighten so the handle is on the opposite side. in other words, the spout can can be repositioned but not the handle. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

Yes, it's intended to be a little loose. That appears to just be part of the design. The top on mine does not fit tightly into the glass beeker whether the plunger is up or down.

I have noticed the same. Hold the measuring spoon right against the bottle when pouring. I normally free pour but it is what it is.

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

I've never had a problem with any cup fitting, maybe make sure that you've pushed it all the way down?? Hope you figure it out

Yes, yes, and yes! The gauge is useless. The first one I had prior to 2011 worked fine. The newer ones don't work at all. I just try to keep track of the cups I pour.

Truth be told I've never used the cup supplied. I use a basic measuring cup and that works perfectly. Don't sweat the cup that is supplied. Happy cooking...M
