Is the mouth large enough to put a 1 cup dry measuring cup in and scoop out the flour/sugar/etc?

It would depend on the size of the cup/scoop, of course, but I do keep a 5-lb. bag of flour in one of mine, and scoop from the jar.

Yes I have one no problem I love this wonderful jar I wish I had a lot more of them

Absolutely! However, I would NOT put sugar in this container. It's not air-tight enough to prevent ants from getting inside.

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.

The bottom looks wide enough, but I have not tried and I don't have any muffin cups at home. Let me take a measurement for you.

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.

yes Carol the mouths are wide enough to get a measuring cup in easily. also what I thought was nice about this set is they have a nice seal so when you close the lid they sealed air tight.

No, you wouldn't be able to get a whole bag of flour in one of these. Maybe half of the bag would fit. Same thing with sugar.

I'm sorry I took so long to answer you. I think several cups of flour will fit in at one time, although it probably works better if you just do one or two at a time. It sifts the flower finely and it goes into whatever bowl or container you have sitting underneath the sifter.

Hello! No, a 1 cup measure will not fit in this. You will need a much larger container. I store coffee in mine.

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.

That's a great question. I suppose you could do that and it would be pretty close, but honestly, when the measure is less than a cup, I usually use my measuring cup set instead. I only use the Taylor when I need to measure more than a cup...which is most of the time! I've had this scale for three years and I love it. I initially bought it because I have a bread machine and wanted accuracy in measuring the flours. I just bought another one as a gift for a wedding. I will always use this scale!

I don't think so. It does need to have some room, because it is important to shake well before each use. I suppose you could pour it out into a measuring cup and check.

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, there is a narrow seal within the lid that the storage part of the container fits snugly into when you put the lid on top. The pieces fit beautifully together. I haven't had any problems keeping my flour bug free and dry. I have several of the Klip It Bakery size containers that come with the measuring cup, and I love them. I am slowly changing all my storage containers to Sistema. I was keeping my flour in the freezer whichconsumed a lot of space as I keep about 6 types of flour on hand. Hope this is helpful.

When I held a one cup measuring cup above the jar opening, the cup fit thru the opening, but turning and attempting to fill it was not possible. A half cup measuring cup would fit.

The answer is yes, but it's designed for precise measurements at a lower weight and to be portable. I'd consider something more robust unless you need to weigh single servings of rice and sugar on the go.

As far as my La Pavoni Millenium goes, the answer is yes. It is indeed wide enough. But the Millenium has a relatively small portafilter so I am not sure if this is a general answer or just true for some machines. The opening for these cups is notably smaller than for some of the other cups I have.

I measured mine dry with a food scale and then cooked. You could use that and then take 1 cooked portion and translate it to cups or cooked weight if that's what you preferred.
