OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Cup Review (2026)
In-depth review of the OXO Good Grips 2-cup angled measuring cup: the read-from-above surface, Tritan body, handle, and stock caveat.
OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Cup, 2 Cup
The read-from-above cup: a patented angled surface puts the markings where you can see them while pouring, no crouching required.
Our verdict
The OXO Good Grips Angled 2-Cup is the best measuring cup for cooks who measure at the counter, because its patented angled surface removes the most annoying step in liquid measuring: lifting the jug to eye level, checking, and adjusting. You pour, watch the level from above, and stop at the line. The cup is plastic rather than glass, so it cannot take microwave heat, and stock on the listing has been thin, but for the reading problem it solves, nothing else in this guide comes close.
What we like
- The patented angled surface lets you read the measurement looking straight down into the cup, so you stop pouring at the right line first time.
- The oval shape and soft, non-slip handle give a comfortable grip and a controlled pour from a generous spout.
- Standard and metric markings are printed on the cup, so one cup covers recipes written either way.
What to watch out for
- The cup is Tritan plastic, not glass, so it cannot go in the microwave or a preheated oven like the Pyrex set.
- Plastic can cloud with heavy use and long dishwasher cycles, where glass stays clear.
- Stock on this listing has been thin, so check availability before settling on it as your only liquid cup.
Who it is for
Cooks who measure liquids at the counter and want to read the level while pouring, without lifting the cup to eye level.
The angled surface is the whole product
The inside of the cup has a sloped surface with the measurement markings printed on it, so the level is visible from directly above while you pour. That sounds minor until you have done it: with a normal jug you pour, lift, check, set down, and adjust, and every adjustment risks overshooting. With the angled surface you watch the liquid climb to the line in real time and stop. It is the rare kitchen innovation that genuinely changes a routine rather than restyling it.
Tritan body and handle
The cup is made of BPA-free Tritan Renew, a clear plastic that is light and drop-resistant where glass is heavy and breakable, and the oval shape sits comfortably in the hand. The soft, non-slip handle and the generous spout give a controlled pour, and standard and metric markings cover both kinds of recipe. The cost of plastic is heat: this cup cannot go in the microwave or a preheated oven, and heavy dishwasher use can cloud it over time, where glass stays clear.
How it stacks up
Against the Pyrex 2-Piece Set, OXO wins on reading convenience and drop resistance, while Pyrex wins on heat tolerance and long-term clarity. Against the OXO Adjustable Cup, the angled cup wins on simplicity and speed for thin liquids, while the adjustable cup wins for sticky ingredients and for replacing a set. Against the Anchor Hocking 3-Piece Set, OXO wins on the reading angle and weight, while Anchor Hocking wins on size range and heat. Buy OXO for the angle; buy glass for heat.

Questions, answered
Can the OXO angled cup go in the microwave?
No. It is Tritan plastic, not glass, so it is not rated for microwave or oven heat. Measure cold and room-temperature liquids in it, and use a Pyrex or Anchor Hocking glass jug for anything hot.
Is the angled cup dishwasher safe?
Yes, top rack. Hand washing keeps the plastic clearer for longer, since repeated hot dishwasher cycles can cloud Tritan over time.
Why is stock sometimes limited on this listing?
This is a long-running OXO listing and availability has varied, with periods where no featured offer is shown and only limited third-party stock appears. Check the listing before ordering, and keep the Pyrex set as the fallback if it is out of stock.
