Need help identifying this

pnc75 — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 04:13:03 GMT

It has measurements on the side that go to 12 cups, but there's no way it would hold 12 cups. I'm wondering whether it's used to measure amount of powder or ingredient to mix with up to 12 cups of water / liquid?

I have NO idea

TIA

Hard to gauge the size with no reference next to it.

But 1 cup is 236ml, sure it won't fit 12 x 236ml ?

Looks like some kind of cereal box to me

I thought it looked like one of those jobbies that go into the feeder of a food processor to push the food down

Sorry, measirments are:

height approx 11 cm

width at widest poitn about 5.7 cm

length approx 8.8 cm

The lid comes off but doesnt seal

it's made of plastic but not dtrong enough to use as a pusher.

So on the side the markings show that it holds 12 cups, but the 12 cup mark is only just over 1 cup (just measure it). hence my thinking that it must measure something that goes into 12 cups of liquid of some sort.

Thank to all for your replies. Still hoping to hit the jackpot!

At the same marker as the 12 cups it also says 96 g.

Odd to say the least.

96 grams is 3/4 cup of dry ingredients

edit: How about it's marked 1 - 2 cups, not 12 cups?

11cm is only 4½ inches in the old language. Makes it small

I think it must be 1 - 2 cups.

Shoulda gone to spec savers?

Thanks stawks, no it's definitely 12 cups. Goes up in increments of 2, starting at 2 cups, which is only 1 cm above the inside base. I think you 3/4 cup measuremnt might be pertinent, but how, I have no idea!

I think you might be onto something, 96g of dry ingredients for 12 cups of water.

But then why not say 3 litres instead of 12 cups ?

Could it be for something like metamucil ? Or another type of drink you are required to mix once a day ?

Perhaps this is intended to hold coffee (ground or whole beans).

I will admit that this suggestion is influenced by my abiding and deep love for freshly ground coffee.

12 cups is 96 fluid ounces in US terms. Are you sure it says g?

Have you tried googling? I'm not sure what you'd search for though.

A friend suggested it is similar to something they have, part of a coffee grinder.

Same here. Was told it's the bottom of a coffee grinder (from someone who has one exactly the same). Makes sense - the cups are how many cups of coffee it makes.

Could be a Gaggia coffee grinder bean hopper?

Well thank you all for your help. You have been wonderful, including someone who also pm'ed me.

You're right! It is the bottom of a coffee grinder, now I just have to find the brand. You have no idea how many photos I've googled and perused, both before posting and since!

If you're interested in the back story - son-in-law gave it to me to sell for him. he was adamant it was part of a Breville Juicer. Since I've previously owned a Breville juicer I knew that wasn't correct. Hence - first lot of googling photos, of all sorts of weird things!

Then yesterday after some of your replies, I emailed off to him - ahh, yes, I remember now, it was part of the coffee machine. More photo googling ensued.

And today, I now know it's a coffee grinder part, and been doing more googling but no luck, and I'll bet my bottom $ he doesn't remember the brand!

Thanks again to you all for your help - you are all truly amazing people.
