MHW-3BOMBER G5140 100ml stainless steel measuring cup review

A 100ml stainless cup at around ₱580 as of August 19, 2026. That works out to roughly ₱5.80 a millilitre of capacity, which is the highest figure on this page by a distance.

What this actually is

MHW-3BOMBER makes specialty coffee equipment: scales, kettles, tampers, dosing cups. This belongs to that shelf rather than to the baking aisle, and it is priced accordingly.

Specialty coffee gear is sold on machining, weight, finish and consistency, the way tools are, and a small dosing cup from a brand like this is meant to sit alongside a machine on a counter where everything matches.

That is a legitimate thing to want. It is a different thing from buying a measuring cup, and it explains a price that makes no sense read as kitchenware.

The price in context

The Koryaiko 100ml borosilicate espresso cup is around ₱152 on the same date for the same capacity. The Locaupin borosilicate liquid cup is around ₱117 and holds considerably more.

So you are paying roughly four times the nearest equivalent. Nothing on the listing claims a measuring advantage, and there is not one to claim: a 100ml vessel is a 100ml vessel.

Where stainless genuinely wins, and where it loses

Wins: it will not chip, it will not shatter on a tiled floor, it will not stain from turmeric or coffee oils, and it will not hold a smell. On a busy counter that matters.

Loses: it is opaque. For espresso, seeing the shot arrive and watching where the crema sits is the entire reason to put a small graduated cup under the portafilter, and steel cannot do it.

So if this is for coffee, it is the wrong material for the most common use and the right one for dosing water or milk. If it is for the kitchen, glass at a quarter of the price does the same job and lets you see through it.

The quietest listing in this category

Twenty-four Shopee ratings and fourteen sold, which is the smallest buying history of any measuring cup on this page.

That is normal for niche equipment and it does mean there is very little to go on beyond the brand. A clean 5.0 from two dozen buyers is a good sign rather than a strong one.

Who should buy the G5140

Buy this if you are building a specialty coffee setup, you want MHW-3BOMBER’s finish on the counter, and price per millilitre is not how you are thinking about it.

Skip it if you want a measuring cup. Glass costs a quarter as much and shows you the liquid.

Cheaper cups that do the same measuring

For a graduated glass at this capacity, see the Koryaiko 100ml espresso cup. For the brand’s double-spout version of this cup, sold by a different shop, the MHW-3BOMBER 100ml double-spout cup is a few pesos more.
