500ml graduated measuring jug for measuring and preparing liquids
The GRADUATED Measuring Jug 500ml (Plastic) BPA FREE is a compact graduated container designed for measuring, preparing and pouring liquids. Its 500ml capacity makes it practical for small to medium quantities and everyday prep tasks in bars, cafés, kitchens and pastry shops.
It is made from BPA-free plastic and has a transparent body that allows the liquid level and graduations to be easily observed. Intermediate markings are spaced at 50ml intervals, with numerical values indicated every 100ml.
The handle makes the jug easier to hold and manoeuvre, while the pouring spout allows the measured liquid to be conveniently transferred into a shaker, mixing glass, preparation container or another vessel.

What can a 500ml graduated measuring jug be used for?
The 500ml format is suitable when small to medium quantities of liquid need to be measured and handled without using a larger-capacity container.
It can be used for:
- measuring syrups, juices and other liquid ingredients;
- preparing premixes and small cocktail batches;
- measuring ingredients for bars and cafés;
- kitchen, pastry and baking recipes;
- portioning and transferring liquids between containers;
- everyday prep tasks in bars, restaurants, cafés and catering operations.
Compact size for bar prep and cafés
The 500ml capacity provides a practical middle ground between a tool intended for measuring very small quantities and a large-capacity measuring jug.
In a bar, it can be used for premixes, syrups, juices and other ingredients prepared before or during service. In a café, it can be useful for various liquid ingredients and preparation tasks where monitoring volume is required.
For individually measuring small quantities of cocktail ingredients, a jigger remains the more appropriate tool. The 500ml graduated measuring jug becomes useful when the required volume exceeds the quantities normally measured with a jigger.
50ml graduations
The jug has intermediate graduations at 50ml intervals, with numerical values indicated every 100ml. This system makes it easy to monitor the liquid level during preparation.
For the clearest reading, place the measuring jug on a level surface and observe the liquid level in relation to the markings on the container.
The graduations are intended for practical volume measurement during preparation tasks. The product should not be confused with a calibrated measuring instrument or a container with a certified accuracy class.
Why choose a plastic graduated measuring jug?
The plastic construction provides a lightweight container that is easy to handle during everyday preparation tasks. The transparent body allows the liquid inside to be observed, while the compact 500ml format requires less workspace than a larger measuring jug.
The handle provides a practical grip, while the pouring spout is useful when the measured liquid needs to be transferred into a shaker, storage container, mixing bowl or another preparation vessel.
What does BPA-free mean?
BPA is the abbreviation for bisphenol A. The material used for this version is specified as BPA-free, a relevant characteristic for buyers looking for plastic containers made without this compound.
The term “BPA-free” describes a characteristic of the material. It does not represent metrological certification and should not be interpreted as an indication of the accuracy of the graduations.
500ml or 1L graduated measuring jug?
The choice between the two sizes primarily depends on the volumes normally handled during everyday preparation.
The 500ml measuring jug is more compact and suitable for small to medium quantities, smaller premixes and workstations where an easy-to-handle container is preferred.
The 1L measuring jug is better suited to batches, premixes and recipes prepared in larger quantities because it allows a greater volume to be measured without repeating the process.
For a bar, restaurant or kitchen that regularly works with different volumes, the 500ml and 1L versions can complement each other within the same preparation area.
Graduated measuring jug or graduated cylinder?
Although both products can be used to monitor liquid volume, their shape and practical use are different.
A graduated measuring jug has a handle, wide opening and pouring spout, making it practical when a liquid needs to be measured, handled and then quickly transferred into another container.
A graduated cylinder has a tall, narrow shape and may be preferable when more detailed reading of the volume is required, depending on the specific graduation interval of the cylinder.
For everyday bar and kitchen tasks involving both measuring and pouring, the measuring jug format provides a practical solution.
For bars, cafés, kitchens and HoReCa
The compact dimensions and 500ml capacity make this measuring jug useful in work areas where ingredients are measured and prepared before or during service.
It can be used in bars, restaurants, cafés, pastry shops, kitchens and catering operations, as well as at home for recipes and measuring different liquid ingredients.
Cleaning and use
To help protect the container and its graduated markings, we recommend hand washing and avoiding abrasive sponges or objects that could scratch the surface.
We do not recommend cleaning this product in a dishwasher.
