Metro Bakewares MB5568 600ml clear measuring cup review

A 600ml clear jug at around ₱216 as of August 19, 2026. Of the two Metro Bakewares jugs on this page, this is the one to buy.

The arithmetic against its sibling

The Metro Bakewares MB5569 300ml is around ₱160 on the same date. This one holds twice as much for about a third more money.

That works out at roughly ₱36 per 100ml here against about ₱53 for the small jug. Bigger sizes usually cost less per unit and here the gap is wide enough to decide the purchase on its own.

Six hundred millilitres is close to the right size

A jug has two jobs that pull against each other. It has to hold enough for the things people actually measure in bulk, and it has to stay narrow enough that the bottom of the scale is readable.

Around 500 to 600ml is where those meet. Stock for a soup, milk for a batter, water for bread dough all fit in one go, and 100ml still reads clearly near the base. Go up to a litre and the lower graduations become an estimate; drop to 250ml and you are measuring twice.

If you own one jug, this is a sensible capacity for it.

What headroom means for the number on the label

A graduated jug carries empty space above its top mark, because liquid cannot be swept level the way flour can and a brim-full jug spills on the way to the bowl.

So a 600ml jug is a vessel that measures up to 600ml and physically holds more. That is the opposite of a dry measuring cup, which has no headroom at all because filling to the brim and levelling is exactly how it works.

It is also why one cannot substitute for the other.

The material the listing skips

No glass type is stated. Four jugs on this page name borosilicate, which expands very little when heated and therefore survives boiling water; ordinary soda-lime glass does not reliably.

Since this listing names neither, treat it as ordinary glass. Fine for milk, oil, juice and water from the tap. Not the jug for stock straight off the stove.

Who should buy the MB5568

Buy this if you want one mid-sized jug at a fair price, you like the Metro Home range, and your hot-liquid measuring is rare.

Skip it if you pour boiling liquids into a jug regularly, where a stated borosilicate is worth the extra.

The heat-safe alternative and the dry half

For the same size in stated borosilicate, see the Eurochef 9500 500ml. For dry ingredients, which no jug measures properly, the Metro Bakewares MB5541 5-piece cups are the same brand’s other half.
