For anyone with reduced or limited sight, daily tasks in the kitchen can become more complex—especially when it comes to pouring hot drinks. Without clear visibility, spills, overflows, and accidental burns can happen all too easily. That’s where a liquid level indicator becomes an essential kitchen aid.
Compact, clever, and easy to use, these devices are designed to promote kitchen safety, restore confidence, and support independent living.
What Is a Liquid Level Indicator?
A liquid level indicator is a small, battery-powered device that sits onto the side of your mug, cup, or glass. As you pour, it monitors the rising liquid and emits an audible beep and vibration when it nears the sensor. There are 2 sensors, the first is placed on the longest prongs, once the liquid reached this you will hear beeping and the device will vibrate – this is telling you that your cup is near full. The second is placed on the highest prong and once the liquid reaches this the beeping and vibrating will intensify and this is telling you that the cup is full and to stop pouring.
This simple tool eliminates guesswork and helps prevent spills—ideal for pouring hot water, milk, or any beverage.
It’s a helpful solution for:
- Individuals with partial or reduced vision
- People with monocular vision or depth perception issues
- Older adults adjusting to vision loss
- Wheelchair users who may not be eye-level with the cup while pouring
