OXO Good Grips Plastic Sugar Dispenser

Really like these dispensers. I purchased 2 more after the first one. They look very nice at my coffee station. I like the spout not messy at all. Would purchase again.

Wish it was more like 15-16 oz but I am nitpicking. Works perfectly.

I use this for regular sugar and keep it next to the coffeemaker—it’s super convenient for morning coffee. The container feels sturdy and holds a good amount, and the flip spout makes it easy to pour without making a mess. The only downside is that the spout isn’t totally airtight, so little sugar grains sneak into the hinge over time. You can feel a bit of a gritty grind when you open it. That said, it’s a minor thing—and overall, this is a solid, well-designed dispenser I’d definitely recommend.

I purchased this dispenser because I was tired of pulling down the large, heavy, sugar canister off the shelf every morning for my coffee. This does a great job in place of that.Pros:- lightweight- nice sized pour spout- easy to refill- easy to cleanCons:- on the small side (so if you’re someone like me who likes a little bit of coffee with my sugar, then you will find yourself refilling this a lot), but I knew that in advance so I wasn’t disappointed- others mention the spout can clog up (hot steam from coffee cup meets sugar from spout). Does this happen? Yes. Can it be prevented? Yes. Simply put your sugar in your coffee cup before you pour the coffee… no more clogs!Overall, I would definitely recommend this. The pros far outweigh the cons.

Typical well designed and constructed OXO product. Right size for table use, and since it has a plastic container it will hopefully not break so easily as my previous dispenser.

Great quality doesn't leak and totally worth it

Update: I contacted Oxo, and I am pleased to see they stand by their products (even something as simple as a sugar dispenser). They are replacing my order, so I've updated my rating.Maybe I've just had some bad luck, but recently my Oxo products just aren't the quality I remember. I ordered this sugar dispenser to replace the same Oxo dispenser we've had for years... the old one help up very well, but over time the spout wouldn't seal perfectly (no amount of clean seemed to work anymore). That said, we had this first dispenser for a long time. If this order had worked as well as the last, I'd give it 5 stars (it's a nice way to store and dispense sugar).The new sugar dispenser is almost the same, and the spout now closes nicely. However, sugar leaks into the the neck of the dispenser (into the threading where the cap twists on), so every time I open it to refill it there is a some sugar grinding through the threads followed by a sugar spilling off the sides and threads. This doesn't make it unusable (luckily it doesn't leak out with the lid attached, it just builds up for when I remove the lid), but it's far from ideal.

I'll start off by stating that I have purchased two of these dispensers and have used them for some time.PROS: The product, as a dispenser, does a great job. I like how the lid snaps shut and pops open, and as other reviewers have mentioned, if not careful you can fling a small amount of sugar out. This however, is a minor issue and not worth mentioning further. The product looks nice and has a nice size for a sugar dispenser. In my opinion the regular sugar dispensers one finds at restaurants are too big. When there is too much sugar in a container it has a tendency to harden at the bottom, or form smaller clumps at the top. This dispenser's smaller size prevents that from occurring as often, but still allows for a decent amount of sugar so you don't have to keep refilling it all the time. Also, unlike regular dispensers, one can accidentally tip this one over without having the lid just flip open spilling out its contents. The dispenser looks nice with an elegant brushed aluminum/white plastic top. The base is of good quality plastic and doesn't seem to stain, and is also easy to wash.CONS: There are two flaws with this dispenser that one should be aware of:1) The nice looking top is made of a thin metallic casing slipped over a white plastic inner portion. The plastic portion is only visible near the bottom end of the top forming a white plastic lip. The plastic portion houses the flip lid which is the only part that protrudes out of the metallic upper portion. For some reason on the inside ceiling of the top, OXO decided to make four slits which leave small openings between the upper metallic portion and the under plastic portion. This makes washing it difficult because tiny amounts of sugar eventually enter through those slits and settle between the the upper and lower. You'll notice that after rinsing and drying it you still find syrupy liquid seeping out between the metallic upper and plastic lower portions at the lip. A tiny amount of water usually gets trapped there and there is no way to really dry it out. Once you put the top back on and refill the dispenser the trapped water introduces moisture through the slits which is the worst possible thing.2) Like I mentioned earlier, I have purchased two of these. The first one fell off the table and the bottom of the plastic base broke clean off. It seemed odd since it is made of plastic and one would expect it to resist such a minor fall. So I purchased a second one, but the same thing happened again. What you'll notice if you look carefully, is that the clear plastic base is really made of two pieces, a cylinder and a circular base which forms the bottom. The pieces are joined together in some form, but the problem is that if it falls and hits the ground it comes apart. This defeats the purpose of having a plastic container to begin with. Glass breaks when it falls which is why people choose to use plastic, but this item breaks just as easily. If this happens to you don't throw away the top, just find another container to screw it onto.
