Our easy-to-see measuring jug is now available with a tactile, braille measuring gauge which fits over the rim of the jug, allowing you to measure liquids by touch.

The jug is designed to be used with our talking kitchen scale (DK202), but can now be useful to anyone who just wants an easy-to-see jug with a tactile measuring feature.

In addition to the bold markings which show millilitres, pints and UK fluid ounces, the measuring gauge has tactile and braille markings for millilitres on one side and fluid ounces on the other. (To change which measure is used, remove the gauge from the clip, rotate it and reattach).

The tactile measuring gauge is made of high temperature-resistant, food grade polypropylene and is designed to be fitted over the rim of the jug with the gauge on the inside.

To use the gauge, simply place your finger on the mark that represents the measuring capacity you wish to add to the jug and pour the ingredients into the jug until you feel the ingredient touch your finger. Please do not use this method when adding very hot liquids or ingredients.

Both the jug and tactile measuring gauge are microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

Warning

  • Please be aware that the measuring gauge does move freely, so it may move during pouring. A forefinger touching the measuring gauge during pouring is a safe way to reduce its movement.
  • This product is dishwasher-safe; however, it is recommended to hand wash in warm soapy water as dishwashers will gradually erode the markings and the surface may become scratched.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this product. If you need more help, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

  • My player will not turn on or looks like it is not charging 

    If you hear the battery low announcement twice, then you must charge the unit after the second voice prompt is heard. If the battery level drops below 3.3 volts, then the speaker will be muted until it is charged. Once the charger is connected the time will vary for the battery level to return to 3.3 volts or higher, and during this time the player may appear that it is not charging. 

    Please follow these steps: 

    1. Plug the USB-C charging cable into the player. 
    2. Leave it on charge for at least 15 minutes. 
    3. Keep the charger plugged in, and press the power button to turn the player on. 

    If the battery was completely drained, the player may need to be left on charge for up to 30 minutes before it turns on. 

    If the player does not turn on after charging for one hour try the following: 

    • Check the charger cable is firmly plugged in. 
    • Try a different wall socket. 
    • Make sure the power is switched on at the socket. 
    • Try a different USB-C charging cable. 
  • My USB memory stick is not playing any books 

    If your USB memory stick is not working, it may need to be reformatted. This will remove everything from the stick. 

    Important: Before you start, save your books on your computer.
