I absolutely love it. I have the 4 cup one also. They are easy to read, and the best part is the lid. Great for melting butter in the microwave and not have to worry about splatters. The lid also strains as well as pours, so there is less mess. I'm so glad I bought it.

The red lid isn't airtight even turning the slotted ends. This is a thick glass product. I have no idea about the Oxo counterpart but I would have checked out the Oxo if the Oxo had existed when I got this. I have owned this for years and it is necessary for Nigella's choco loaf cake recipe because the recipe requires half a cup of BOILING hot water. I mainly use this to bloom yeast or stir up waffle batter.

Thanks to the markings on the INSIDE of the cup you never have to lift the cup from the counter to measure accurately.

It's about time someone figured out how to label a measuring cup so that you didin't have to raise the cup or lower yourself to get the eye level measurement. This is a sturdy cup. Mine has taken multiple trips through the diswasher and the markings remain in tact.

I've used the lids on my cups twice. I tend to use plastic wrap instead.

I use this cup for making salad dressing. I make enough for a couple of nights and like to put the rest in the refrig. I had been covering my cup with saran, so I jumped at this cup with lid. Problem is, it does not seal. There is a big gap between the spout and the lid. So, the dressing dries out or the dressing (if garlic/onion/shallot) smell permeates through the refrig. It does not seal so liquids will leak out of the spout. It would be good for pouring off liquids from, say, micro'd veggies.
The other irritating thing is, I have 2 other PYREX 2-cup measuring cups (I bought this 3rd cup bec of the lid), and the lid doesn't fit them.

I do a lot of things that require specific water or milk measurements and this is great. the text and indicator lines are nice and bright for easy reading on the fly. The cover fits snugly forsaking remeasured liquids that need to be saved for later use. It all cleans easy, the Lid I would put on the TOP shelf of the dishwasher if you chose not hand washing, which i always recommend hand washing. the spout is nice, and minimizes drips. I use it to melt butter in the microwave without a problem, but beware the handle might get hot the longer you leave it in there so use a potholder or something like that. I would recommend this, absolutely. Perfect size for novice bakers and chef alive.

I haven't has this cup long, but it seems just what I need. Sturdy, has very clear measurements of all types, and the lid is handy. I'd like to get the other sizes for my kitchen as well.

I think this is wonderful. Love Pyrex. So many cons re the breakage, however I have not had a problem. I like being able to look at the measure from above. And the 2-cup is a good size for smaller measures. Thanks

I have several of these in various sizes I use for various baking, heating, and mixing tasks.
They are easy to read and graduations are clear and convient, however the red marking does wear off over time, granted I use them and Wash them ALOT. All my others had the metric measure which makes mixing drinks alot easier than trying to convert fractions to parts and get the end volume you want, considering I bought this one for my bar since it had the lid for straining, I was disspointed it was missing the metric graduations.

It's about time someone design a liquid measuring cup that can be read from above, looking down into the cup, instead of trying to raise it to eye level without sloshing the liquid around. Brilliant! My other concern was that it pour well without making a mess, and it succeeds here as well. You can't pour too quickly, but as long as you don't overdo it, it pours with spilling or dribbling. I am very pleased. with my purchase.
