A New Measuring Cup

0 comments

I often write about people seeing a problem and fixing it – and that’s exactly what Josh Redstone did with the Euclid measuring cup. With a narrower base, the cup allows you to get a more precise liquid measurement than the traditional measuring cup. The animated GIF below shows you the increased error rate for a traditional cup.

Regular cup error rates: 1 cup = 6%; 3/4 cup = 8%, 1/2 cup = 11%, 1/4 cup = 20%. Euclid cup is a 6% error for all amounts.

You can support this project over on Kickstarter and get your own measuring cup for a pledge of $24.
