Will the measurement lines fade? If they will that would be a great idea because whenever I replace them, it's because I can't read the measurements.

Mine has not faded so far and I've had it for 7 months. I bought this as a replacement for one of mine that has faded. I would NOT recommend this specific measuring cup. The pour spout is not shaped correctly and as a result its contents spill down the side. No problems with my old measuring cups only this specific brand.

Hi - I have another one that I bought 10 years (?) ago and it still has the lines on it.

I have another Pyrex measuring cup that I bought in 1978. The inside is etched and slightly foggy, but the markings are perfectly clear after 36 years.

I've only had this new measuring cup for a few months (bought it for my daughter), but I have my own that is at least 10 years old and the markings are still very easy to read. We are not gentle with it, either--it goes in the microwave, the dishwasher, and gets constant use.

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.

Sorry, I bought these for my collection to decorate my kitchen; probably won't ever use to actually measure stuff.

I have experienced this in the past - one (or both, to different degrees) of the surfaces is flexing under the scale. because the scale is digital, it depends on the constant of the resistance of the floor surface to produce the result you see. I have my scale on a poured, stained concrete floor so I have no resistance whatsoever. Do you have a similar area where you can place the unit? That would provide the ideal surface, then continue to use that surface for your ongoing measurements. The other choice is to choose one surface - the hardwood would be my choice - and stick with that. Consistency over time is key.

Honestly I have forgotten. I'd suggest contacting the company for precise measurements.

That's the biggest problem; they are not labeled. You have to measure them yourself, say with a micrometer or vernier calipers.

Not 100% sure. There might be some traces present if line is faint. When I tested it the lines were very strong lines.

One of the ones we already had broke.I took a pic of it and matched it to one I found on Amazon. I just replaced it. I don't know how you take measurements for it.

There should be a size chart to give you a rough idea. I've been using mine for a couple of years now and haven't had any problem with shrinkage or fading. Amazon's return process is very easy if you find you need to exchange it for a different size.

Yes it does although the measurements wore off very quickly rendering them useless.

I threw away the one cup measure before a year was up because all the markings came off. The others still have theirs. They are put in the dishwasher.

OK, just took the ruler to mine for you....They're about ⅝", stretching to not quite ¾" when depressed. Hope that helps.

Once you order, they will email you and ask for the measurements. They even include a "How to measure" guide.

Mine were Wrong size.there is a measuring chart. I didn't use it the first time

I honestly didn't measure them, however, I do know they are longer than normal and wider. If you have a prime account you can always send it back no charge if it doesn't work.

Mine does show metrics on one side, foot pounds on the other. But it really doesn't matter because it doesn't work anyway. Might as well measure in "Star Treck" units.

Elisabeth, I stuck a measuring tape in mine, and it looks like this will be perfect for what you need. It works very well, and is great quality!
