Does this cup acurately measure 2 dry cups, like 2 cups of flour, or does it acurately measure 8 fluid ounces? Can you scale it to see?

I would suggest that it is best used for liquids -- although I did use it once to measure 2 cups of flour -- but the "pouring lips" for liquids did make a bit of a "mess" when using. It is NOT like a "nested" measuring cup -- but, in a pinch, I have used it for 2 cups dry measurement. It is made of strong stainless steel and has a 4" handle for easy use. Hope this helps.

Pretty much all measuring cups are based on fluid ounces (volumetric) whether used wet or dry. Measuring to weight would depend on the material and how much it is packed, so to be precise with stuff like flour you will always need a scale.

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.

This type of cup is meant for dry measures only. Liquid measures will not be accurate

It is a dry measuring cup. I don't have a scale but I have checked it against a one cup measuring cup. I love the convenience of not having to 'dip' twice for two cups of flour or sugar.

It measures two dry cups. I love it. I haven't scaled it but I've used it to make bread, and been happy wth the results.

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 filled it up to the top with water, and dumped it into a 2 cup measure, it was one full cup, 8 fl oz (or just a tad less).It collapses to to dept of the rim, which is great as it fits in my cargo pockets.Cup works well, previous reviews noted that it is not so good with hot items, such as coffee.

Although it is correct to say that 1 cup of liquid measurement is equal to 8 ozs. when it comes to a "cup of coffee" the measurement is then 6 ozs which is the size of a "standard" cup of coffee whne served in an actual dinner set "cup"

I just check the cups and it does not have the 12.5 mark. It has the oz,ml,tbs, cc and the grams but no 12.5. Hope I help you.

It is unfortunate that the answers you've gotten so far are all over the map but at least you got the simple answer to your question, which is "yes." What I also learned is that a cup of flour weighs about 5 oz but may vary between 4 and 6 oz. If we use 5 oz multiplied by the 16 cups of volume in a gallon, that's 80 ounces of flour that will fit in a gallon, which is the same as five pounds (80 oz/16 oz per lb). So a standard 5 lb. package of flour will fit a one gallon container pretty closely. A 1.5 gallon container like this one might fit about 7-8 lbs of flour. Hope that helps.

Well, there are 8 ounces in a cup and this is an 8 cup coffee press. 8x8=64. So, this coffee press will hold 64 fluid ounces.

This cup holds 12 ounces or 1-3/4 cups. I measured the amount using a measuring cup.

It's 350ml or 11.5 0zA cup is 8 oz, so it is less than 2 cups in capacity. I use it in a one coffee cup press

I have only cooked 1 cup (8 oz. by my measuring cup) of rice at a time and it works fine. They provide a measuring cup (but I use my own), on one side marked by quarters and the other side reading numerical values up to 160. I filled their cup and poured the contents into mine, and it came to 6 oz. according to my cup. I hope this helps!

I bake by weight. I calculated the measurements for the flour by weight and use that weight for the measurement with recipes asking for GF flour. I do the same when it is a recipe calling for traditional flour. I would say depending on how you measure I would do GF cup for cup. If the recipe calls for traditional, I would do the 3/4 cup to each cup. Hope that helps.

You must have 2 cups of water or more. It uses all the water you put in it and does measure the water

Make sure you don't have too much water; the measuring cup that comes with it adds about 2 ounces

these cups are used for measuring dry ingredients such as flour and sugar. to measure accurately, they must be overfilled and then leveled off with the top. If you are concerned with more precise measurements, you should use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients instead. And for liquids use a graduated liquid measuring cup.

1/2 cup. I thought it was going to be more, but it measured as 1/2 cup (4 oz)

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.
