This original and innovative compact spaghetti measurer provides an adjustable portion guide for one to four servings. The lever glides along the side of the disc, opening the aperture to control the portion sizes. Grey frame with green aperture. Also available in three other color combinations.

I bought this because of the minimalist design; I wanted a spaghetti measuring device that could measure out single or multiple serving sizes without taking up too much room in my small kitchen and this one seemed to fit the bill. As the other reviewer said, the single-serving size is very large -- it is perhaps a serving size for a beefy male marathon runner. Snazzy form, terrible function.

Quality ok. However, if you are wanting a tool to count on for portion control, this misses the mark. The portion marks on the Spaghetti Measure are off by more than one half portion. Maybe not a big deal to most, but if health and nutrition are your focus, this tool should be carefully considered. I measured a single portion of spaghetti in this tool, then removed and weighed the same spaghetti on a very accurate digital food scale. According to the food scale, and the serving size on the box of pasta, the portion was equal to one and three quarters serving of pasta! Just be careful or you will consume many more calories than you intend. As a portion estimate, maybe ok, but I do not recommend this product.
