This scale works efficiently and effectively. Even more to the point, it looks lovely on my counter top when we are not using it, which is most of the time. The design is graceful and elegant. Excellent value. Arrived quickly and well packed.

I know, you're saying 8oz.=1 cup, stupid. In fluid ounces, that's right, but not in dry cups since dry products have different masses. I was disappointed because I didn't really think of that when I purchased it. You may have heard the rhyme "A pint is a pound the world around" but that is NOT correct (Think a cup of water vs. a cup of lead pellets) I did go on-line and searched for conversion charts for dry products and found some helpful sites. Haven't yet tried out their conversions so I can't verify their accuracy. I think Joseph Joseph should include a conversion chart with the product.
I had pasted a site for you to go for a conversion chart, but Amazon deleted it. Sorry. Do a search and you can find one for converting pounds of items to cups. Otherwise, I like its look and its shape for measuring and transferring ingredients to my mixing bowls.
P.S. I also use it to weigh small packages that I need to ship through the USPS.
