<p>A measuring device is disclosed that includes a plurality of measuring cups connected through a ring. Each measuring cup has a lobed sidewall defining a plurality of lobes of an epicycloidal configuration. Each lobe of smaller cup contacts an inner surface of the sidewall of the larger cup to define a void between the cups that facilitates air to flow between the cups. The flow of air prevents suction between the cups The epicycloidal configuration defines a plurality of longitudinally raised portions that are adapted to stop an axial inward movement of the next smaller cup and hold next smaller cup in position. The epicycloidal configuration of the sidewall defines a plurality of channels that form a plurality of spouts within the container portion to permit drip-free pouring. The channels facilitate minimum inter-surface contact between the cups to prevent sticking of their surfaces.
