That particular type of measuring cup is actually made for measuring solids (flour, sugar and the like), not liquids, even though a cup is a liquid measure. There is no rim to allow for a straight edge to be used to level the measurement.

Measuring cups, for actually measuring liquids, are graduated, and do not measure to the top, to prevent spillage.
