Eurochef 9500 500ml borosilicate glass measuring cup review

A 500ml borosilicate jug at around ₱279 as of August 19, 2026, with a 5.0 rating from 523 Shopee ratings. If you are buying one jug and only one, this is the size.

Why 500ml is the size to own

A measuring jug has two competing jobs and 500ml is where they meet.

It has to hold enough. Stock for a soup, milk for a batter, water for bread: those are a few hundred millilitres, and a 250ml jug means measuring twice and losing count.

It also has to read accurately at the bottom. In a 1L jug the lower graduations sit in a wide body where a millimetre of liquid height covers a lot of millilitres, so 50ml there is a judgement call. In a 500ml jug the same amount sits a tenth of the way up a narrower vessel and is easy to see.

Five hundred is the compromise that does both acceptably, which is why it is the size most kitchens end up using daily.

Where it sits in the brand’s own range

Eurochef sells three borosilicate jugs on this page. The 250ml is around ₱232, this 500ml is around ₱279, and the 9100 1L is around ₱399.

Doubling from 250ml to 500ml costs about a fifth more. Doubling again to 1L costs about 43% more. So the middle size is the best value per millilitre in the range, which is unusual and happens to line up with it also being the most useful.

What borosilicate is for

Ordinary glass expands when it heats, and a sudden change cracks it. Borosilicate barely expands, which is why laboratory glass is made of it.

In a kitchen that means melted butter, water hot enough for yeast, hot stock, and a rinse under a hot tap immediately after use. Four jugs on this page name borosilicate; several others say only glass, which is a weaker claim.

Reading it without introducing an error

Flat surface, crouch down, eye level with the mark. Lifting the jug and looking down at it reads low every time.

And keep flour out of it. A jug has headroom above the top graduation because liquid cannot be levelled, which is exactly what makes it useless for dry ingredients. Those belong in a nested cup swept flat with a knife.

Who should buy the 9500

Buy this if you want one glass jug that covers almost everything, you want it in borosilicate, and you would rather not own two.

Skip it only if you measure very small liquid amounts often, where the 250ml is easier to read.

The other sizes, and the dry half

For small amounts, see the Eurochef 250ml borosilicate cup. For dry ingredients, which a jug cannot measure properly, the Eurochef MT019 9-piece set is the other half of the pairing.
