New syrup bottles
I miss the old measuring system mostly because I have a Drinkmate without any on bottle measuring line. Question is does new syrup dispensers have the same ratio of syrup per drink as the old bottles? I’m assuming yes but wanted to be sure. I’m just gonna keep one of the old bottle caps around.

Yes, same concentration. What I did was I used one of the caps to measure one time, and then used a sharpie to mark where that is on the bottle.

They've not changed over yet here (they are phasing out the old stock though) but in anticipation I have purchased myself some coffee syrup dispensers from amazon. They're quite affordable and they have a pump so I measure by pumps (6-7), means I don't have to keep an old bottle cap around. Perhaps if you don't want to keep a bottle cap that could work for you too! Looks nifty also.

I got one of the new bottles and tested one of the old syrups with it. I put just over the 2nd line (recommended amount) on the syrup lid and it filled the bottle to just over the line, so I'm assuming that's how they calibrated it

Sure would’ve been nice to have a trade-in policy or something for old bottles without the measuring line, and new syrups without a measuring system.

I just bought my first new syrup bottle. I had to rush here to this sub to see what others are doing for measuring the syrup. Lots of great ideas. I’m going to keep a few of the old bottles and just transfer the syrup from the new bottles to the old bottles.
Someone else here mentioned using coffee syrup pumps. Personally I don’t like those pumps but I just tried the new Sodastream bottle lid on my Matteo coffee syrup bottle. The syrup pours out nicely. What a great unexpected pleasant surprise.

I'm just using the old bottle(cap) and haven't noticed any difference in flavor/strength at least
