glassfuls

Amounts in tumblers

Glassfuls is the plural of glassful—the amount a drinking glass holds.

Like other container measurements, it's approximate and varies by glass size: Add two glassfuls of water to the mixture.

The alternative plural *glassesful* exists but sounds awkward to most speakers.
