I hate keeping my measuring cups on the ring they come on. You peeps that are like me, what do you do? How is your measuring cups and spoons set up in your kitchen?

I’ve found that a cup measure reliably gives me the correct gram weight when I scoop and sweep. Within a gram or two. (For flour and sugar, anyway)
On top of that, most of the recipes I come across don’t give the metric weights of ingredients. Meaning to accurately measure out how many grams of whatever are in x cups, I’ve got to go look up the weight first. It’s imprecise anyway because the recipe I’m trying to convert gave a volumetric measurement and I’m trying to use mass to get the same result. That’s fine for liquids that are mostly water anyway, but a problem for something like shredded cheese.
Cups and precision? I remember a recipe calling for one cup of spinach. Not even telling if fresh, frozen, mashed.
Oooh do you know your flour gram amount when you scoop and sweep? I’m terrible at flour cup consistency, to the point I have to ask my SO to scoop if the recipe isn’t in grams. They do more dessert baking and seem to have the technique down.
