PYREX Heavy Duty Griffin 1003 400mL Beaker Double Scale Graduated; Each

This Griffin beaker is just what I expected. Heavy duty and legitimate! Strong heavy glass that performs in a personal or laboratory situation.

Use this daily in the kitchen for measuring water. It is very solid so can take a few bangs without damage. Made in Germany. The real deal. Excellent.

I bought this 400mL beaker to use as a drinking glass, specifically to give an experimental feel to my mixed drinks. It fits a 2 inch cube well with plenty of space for a strong double drink. Can also fit a 12oz beverage without the cube.The glass is thicker and has a rounded lip that is comfortable to drink from, just avoid the spout. However, unlike a normal drinking glass, the bottom is not thick, so I am gentle when placing ice cubes, mostly because the sound of the cubes hitting the bottom is not pleasant. A plus is that this glass is resistant to temperature shock.I have not used it to make coffee with a AeroPress but I have confirmed the filter holder will fit.

The 1003 (400ml) is made of thick glass and it's the perfect size to press the Aeropress with confidence. It feels very nice to sip from it. Highly recommend. This is the second one I buy after the first one cracked in the bottom because I dropped a heavy ice cube on it. I had done it hundreds of times before but it hitted differently. Now I drop ice cubes at an angle to avoid.

After a lot of struggles trying to find heavy duty Pyrex beakers in the sizes I needed, I finally succeeded. This one was listed as a 400 ml, however the measurement markings only go up to 325 ml. So be aware of ordering a slightly larger size if the full 400 ml measurement markings are important to you. I was happy to find that these beakers were made in Germany, which another reviewer had stated makes the very best quality Pyrex beakers. Not sure if this is true, but if it is, "Made in Germany" is printed right under the word Pyrex on the side of the beaker. It is a thrill to use this beaker and not need to worry about it breaking easily like some inexpensive, paper-thin types.

Seems like it will be a great plastic-free alternative for my immersion blender for smaller quantities. The glass is thick and feels durable. Went through the dishwasher well. Fits my immersion blender blade.

The media could not be loaded. Got here quickly, and perfect for what I'm using it for. It fits my aeropress snugly, but still with a bit of wiggle room. Nice and thick glass. Even with boiling water, I can still hold on to it without worrying about getting burned.

Is it sick to love borosilicate glass? Then call me crazy. It's so solid, so heavy, so rich in boric oxide, so corrosion- and shatter-resistant, so virtually impervious to extreme temperatures, and with such a reduced rate of thermal expansion. On top of which it looks staggeringly cool on my kitchen counter, holding small utensils with inimitable style and flair. How could you not be enchanted?
