New Finds: Adjustable Measuring Cup
The Nuscüp Adjustable Measuring Cup and Scoop makes all other measuring cups obsolete. You need 2/3 cup of flour, 1/8 cup of milk, 6 ounces of syrup? No problem! Simply point the rubber thumb slider at the measurement you need, fill, and dump. The Nuscüp measures both dry and liquid ingredients, cups and tablespoons, English and metric systems. There’s even a magnet on the back so you can hang it on the fridge instead of sticking it in a drawer, and the whole thing comes apart for easy cleaning.
Nuscüp Adjustable Measuring Cup and Scoop, $13.95

this is a piece of junk and here's why. with so many mechanical parts it tend to get broken easily, it has a max 1/2 cup capacity and food gets sruck in the mech-parts and becomes a chore to clean.
This item is a better choice.

2 cup capacity, easy clean and no mechanical parts.
Actually the company that makes the Adjust-A-Cup also makes an adjustable measuring spoon, which, IMO, is just as useless as the Nuscüp Adjustable Measuring Cup and Scoop. It's too big and bulky for measuring small amounts, and doesn't fit into small things like spice jars. It also has too many crevices that would make cleaning a a pain. I think I'll pass on this one.
I own and like all 3 sizes of Adjust a- cups, but they are most useful for semi solid and liquid measuring.
It's okay for measuring a bunch of separate ingredients in a short period of time, but the rubber gasket makes for small errors in measurement and the minimum of TWO Tablespoons is disappointing since ONE is more frequently used. Still, thanks for noting that it comes apart for cleaning. I hadn't noticed that before.
Wow, thank you, youdonut, I was going to order this, you saved me some pain!
