Westmark 65242260 'New York' Glass Sugar Dispenser, one size

Dad saw one of these premeasuring sugar dispensers in a restaurant and thought he would like one. This one had the best reviews, so we gave it a try. It works great, though we were concerned about the sugar getting hard and clumping. We haven’t had it long enough to know for sure, but it hasn’t clumped in the week we have had it.

Love these dispensers. I use one for Raw Sugar and one for Splenda. While the dispersal measurements aren’t exact, it is relatively easy to determine the amount dispensed for my coffee, tea, etc. I found no difficulty in filling them, however the first time or two used after filling will likely dispense more than normal due to the fact that you have pushed the fill tube through the sugar, etc and it has become packed full upon filling container and screwing the lid back on. Additionally, these could be used for dry creamer, however, could become clogged from pouring over hot liquids like coffee or tea. If clogging is a problem, try adding sugar, creamer, etc to your cup BEFORE you add your coffee or tea. Some of the reviews I read, mentioned moisture or possibly even small insects getting into tube as there is no plug. I solved this by gently inserting a small cork into the top of each tube to seal contents. The corks fit tight enough to seal and yet are easily removed to use dispenser. You could also check your local hardware store to possibly find small caps to use instead. I rally like these dispensers and they look equally nice on my counter or table.

This works well for me, I use Splenda instead of sugar and because Splenda is fluffier and lighter than sugar, it tends to absorb a little moisture but still works very well. Because it's open I store it in my coffee cabinet and not on a counter for fear that ants or other bugs could be drawn to it. It is well made.

We’ve had this over 3 years with no issues. (Watch video for tips) we like that it gives you exact portions of sugar each time making it quick and easy to use. When it gets low on sugar it will dispense less sugar each pour. To combat that we either do more pours or just fill it back up when it gets that low.

Just like in the diner. Just invert tip the dispenser into your coffee or whatever you need to add sugar to. You'll quickly become accustomed to how much comes out each time and how many suits your preference.

From the start there were issues with this sugar dispenser. The lid fails to screw on correctly until you try at least 10 times to do it. If you fill the container to the top with sugar, then screw the lid on and turn it upside down, nothing happens. You have to fill it half full and then keep turning it upside down then right side up just to get a teaspoon of sugar out of it. Too much work. Onto OXO.

This portions out well, and as long as your sugar doesn't absorb too much moisture it comes out easily. My only issue is the lid. The threading on the lid is not properly matched with the threading on the glass. You have to really fight with it to get it to fit properly, and it still gets cross threaded easily. It's possible I just got a defective lid, but it is still an annoyance. Still usable, and I like the way it works, but the refilling is a pain.

We are using for natural cane sugar. When we fill the jar we have learned that you have to center the tube on the jar then push it dow until it won’t go any farther which in our case is a little less than 1/2 way down. Then turn it like you are screwing it in and it will go all the way in and you can screw down. I wouldnt force it ! Easy after we learned process. Also when you use this thing, you can dump it completely over when pouring out and it only dispenses about 1 level teaspoon then you have to upright and basically reload for another. We like that. Again we are using large crystal natural cane sugar and have not tried with anything else.
