I am looking for a 2 cup dry measuring cup that I can scoop and level off the top. Is this suitable? Thanks.

Unfortunately, no. The 2-cup level is right below the white line. I have found this cup more trouble than it's worth!

No, there is extra space at the top so it would not be an accurate measure.

Definitely not! The 2 cup measurement is right below the white rim, I would only use this measuring cup for liquids, or solids such as rice.

yes they are dry cups, we do a lot of baking and need that type of measurement

Yes you can do it. The coffee container/filter has marks for 2 and 4 cups of grounded coffee, so, you can measure half way up to the "2 cups" mark and you will have coffee to make 1 cup.At the begining, I found kinda hard to measure both time and coffee, but after two or three tries, I found the right amount of coffee and brewing time to have a nice cup of coffee (I usually like very strong coffee, so, I use the 4 cups line to make 2 cups of, i.e., moka).

No. This measuring cup (the 8 cup version) is so large that the first mark is 2 Cups! It's pretty low on the side, there's just that much volume from side to side.

I know what I need for my favorite cup because I've doing it for years. I don't care for a strong cup of coffee so a level spoonful is fine for me; if you want it stronger a heaping spoon would better. I love my Folgers Instant! Best instant coffee on the market.

This can be used for both dry and wet ingredients provided you are totally filling that measuring cup. Pyrex or any other kind of measuring cup that is only partially filled is off for dry ingredients because you cannot properly tamp down the ingredients to get an accurate measurement. I confirmed this by measuring out flour in the measuring cup and then transferring it to a Pyrex container. It didn't measure the same. I also reversed the operation. Pyrex is accurate for wet.

I have a one cup glass measuring cup. I can fit it into the largest canister. But I have a smaller scoop that I leave in the canister instead. It just makes it easier on me that way.

Mine holds just a little more than 2 measuring cups. I use a large cup for coffee or tea so this works out pretty well for me. If you need more coffee or tea It's very easy to dump out the old grounds and make a new cup. This always gives you a fresh cup with no old coffee taste.

I have used these as "fill to top." It makes sense in terms of what I remember/was taught for dry measuring cups vs. liquid measuring cups, and given they don't have any internal markings.Sorry if my answer isn't incredibly precise, but I hope it helps!

Yes. The 2 cup glass measuring cup is an excellent container to use. It fits well and you can measure the amount of juice you are making.

Jaycelyn M.: I checked with my wife, and her response is yes to the dry cups measurement and no to the ounces. She recommends a Pyrex style clear measure cup for liquid. As for the 2 cup dry measurement, simply fill to the brim, scrape off the extra and you have a perfect 2 cups. She also reminds you not to pack the item you are measuring prior to scraping unless the recipe calls for it.

Yes, the biggest one - we use ours for flour - can fit a one cup measuring cup to scoop out.

I've only used it in the microwave for melting butter or warming milk. Still, I LOVE this measuring cup. Have bought several for myself and grown children, and keep spares on hand for bridal showers, etc. With no handle it nestles nicely inside my 2-cup measuring cups that have handles. I prefer embossed markings as they don't come off in the dishwasher like Pyrex markings do. Whenever I come across embossed markings in antique or specialty stores, I always buy them.

These canisters would probably not fit the bill for what you want them for. I'm thinking a one cup measuring cup wouldn't fit the opening.

Yes, as far as I know. I used measuring cup so I don't overfill it. Good luck.

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

The Norpro Stainless Steel measuring cup (one-cup) does NOT fit into a Ball jar. The one-half cup easily does. I use it often to measure the 1/2 cup of bean sprouts that I put into a Ball Jar for sprouting. I would also point out that these measuring cups are "top drawer" (excuse the pun). Solid construction. I like the feel of the "weight". I like the seemingly-at-first odd shape - I understand the engineering now. This is a 5-star+ product.
