The markings on the burette are easier to read than a graduated cylinder.
The diameter of the burette is small so the markings can be separated apart more on the burette for us to make a better reading of the volume. We can actually make a reading of 0.2 mL instead of just making a quess about it with a graduated cylinder.
You can open the stopcock of the burette and allow a small amount of liquid to drain out if you need to adjust the volume. This is a lot easier than trying to pour a small amount of liquid out of a graduated cylinder.

If you know the density of the liquid, you could weigh it. Use this eqn below: density = mass/volume Better equipment - A burette or pipette with accurate measurement markings would be more accurate than a measuring cylinder

A burette is smaller in diameter this allows fine ( smaller amounts) graduations .
Better control of the liquid being dispensed / titrated
ALSO the meniscus is smaller giving rise to less error

I prefer measuring blondes. Oh . . . burette . . . because the diameter is smaller, so smaller volume changes make greater perceptible changes in height of the fluid, which allows you to calibrate measurements with greater precision.

The flow of liquid can be controlled more accurately.

you can drip out exact amounts slowly
