As an older person, I have various glasses I use in my home for beverages. Every morning I make a pot of tea and every evening I have some soft beverage. The plastic cups I have been using are low volume and are incredibly difficult to clean because I cannot get my hand into them. I know that I am using a tall form lab beaker as a drinking glass but this beaker is perfect for my uses and it is easy to wash clingy tannin residue from. I bought two. I could not be happier. I may get more.
Used this to replace my plastic mixing cup for my hand mixer. I noticed the plastic was starting to crack from using it in the microwave. Now with this glass beaker I no longer have to worry about the plastic leaching into my food.
