OXO Good Grips 250ml angled measuring cup review

At around ₱477 as of August 19, 2026 for 250ml, this is one of the priciest small jugs on this page. What you are paying for is a shape.

The angle is the product

An ordinary jug is read from the side. That means putting it on a flat surface and crouching until your eye is level with the mark, because looking down at a jug from above makes the line read low every single time.

Nobody does that consistently. People hold the jug up, glance at it, and quietly under-measure.

The angled design puts a second scale on a sloped surface inside the cup, angled so it faces up toward you. You fill, look straight down while still standing, and read it off. The error goes away because the awkward posture goes away.

It is one of the few genuine ideas in this category, and it is why OXO’s cups cost what they do.

The smallest size is where it helps least

Here is the honest part. The angled reading is most valuable in a jug you have to peer into, which means a taller one.

At 250ml the vessel is small and shallow enough that reading from the side is easy anyway. So this size delivers the least of what the design is for, while costing the same as the brand’s 250ml silicone cup and only a little less than its 500ml angled version.

If the angled scale is what you want, buy it in a size where it earns its keep.

What the listing does not say

No material is stated. OXO’s angled cups are commonly plastic or glass depending on the line, and which one you get changes whether hot liquid is safe in it.

That is worth confirming before ordering, because at this price the material should not be a guess.

Two hundred and fifty millilitres, and whose cup that is

A metric cup is 250ml. An American recipe usually means about 237ml, and the US labelling cup is 240ml.

A few percent is nothing in a sauce and adds up in bread dough, where the ratio of liquid to flour decides the result. Worth knowing which standard your recipe follows.

Who should buy the 250ml OXO

Buy this if you specifically want a small jug from OXO, you measure small liquid amounts often, and the finish and the brand matter to you.

Skip it if the angled scale is the reason you are here. It does more in a bigger cup.

Bigger angled cups, and the cheap alternative

For the size where the angle does real work, see the OXO 500ml angled cup. For a small borosilicate jug at half the price, the Eurochef 250ml states its material and takes hot liquid.
