Has anybody tested these for accuracy, say to find out if 1 cup of water is actually 8 ounces?

I just checked the cup, 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup and they were accurate. Good question.

I watch Americas Test Kitchen they tested the spoons and the were accurate. I personally tested the cups and they are off by 0.05 oz but that could be my measuring quality's.

16.....it doesn't state that on the product or the box it came in, so I filled it up with water then dumped it into a measuring cup. Not the most accurate, but pretty close!

I really don't know..I never got that far to check the accuracy of the cups and spoons..reason being, the cup edges are so sharp they are dangerous. Trust me, they will cut you bad. I threw them away in the metal recycling box, so no one could hurt around here, including me.

They are slightly less than 4 oz. I put 4 oz of water in a measuring cup and poured it into the espresso cup. A small amount of water actually ran over the top. Otherwise I would say they are really nice and we like them.

Don't know the exact figure but I have noticed that they each hold about 1 ounce LESS than the equivalent tall cup that came with my machine.

MY cups are 2 1/2 inches tall yet they hold 8oz to the rim...I just poured a 1 cup measure into the cup and it held it. I bought mine several years ago and I live in the USA.

I found them to be accurate once they are filled all the way to the very top. In addition, each cup does double duty with a measuring line for the half measure. It is sturdy because it is all one piece, instead of welded handles. The measures are engraved so they won't rub off like cheaper types. The spouts help with pouring powders or liquids. Order them and enjoy!

The fluid ounces are based on water. For example 7.2 fluid ounces of water is 7.5 ounces. The weights will not be correct unless the density is the same as water.

I was able to weight several size kitchen whisks and and articles of clothing down to 1oz. I also measured two packaged products a 1oz each and got a 2oz result in weighting both. it seems fairly accurate.

It does not show half ounces. It has three sets of measurements: Ounces in one ounce increments, Milliliters in 25 milliliter increments, and fractional cup parts - 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 1 cup. They are great, I bought two and use them all the time.

I have not compared the accuracy of this product. However, just today I tested my filtered water and then decided to test the water as it came from the spigot. The water from the spigot showed over a 2.0 reading. I check my filtered water periodically. If the reading is near or above 0.6, I then change the filter on my pitcher. I've been very pleased.

Unfortunately no. It gives three options: ounces, grams, or pounds and ounces. It does resolve the ounces to 1/100's of an ounce when in the ounce mode, and 1/10th of an ounce in the pound/ounce mode. It is extremely sensitive and repeatability is almost always perfect. I have compared it to known weights and found it to be extremely accurate.

I think it is more accurate than the light one that come with the 8 cup pitcher. When this tester reads 009, the included light only tester stays dark.

I use 1 1/2 oz for a pint of water -- not an exact extrapolation of the recommended ratio, but pretty close.

The cups I use are 1 cup measure. I leave a rim to testif it's too hot to drink right away.

Ounces???? IDK. They are very small, about an inch square. But.....They are perfect for "samplers", ie: a very rich desert that no one would eat a "serving" of, but wil try a "sample".

No - you can use the measurements on the glass carafe to know how much water is being added.
