Maybe it's your model? My Zojirushi came with a single clear measuring cup (which is actually just 6 US fluid ounces), the instruction manual gives a quick explanation of the various modes such that I don't find their presence burdensome, and the displays an estimated time right away (which is nice as some of the cooking modes take wildly longer). I'd never cooked much rice at home because I never got good results when I tried with the stove, and this turned it into a solved problem. I'm sure a $20 model could have gotten me 80% of the utility, but gestures vaguely at overwhelming consumer abundance. (edit: reading another comment, turns out that plastic cup is one gou which is 6.10 fl. oz)
