This is a great product. My measuring spoons don't get nearly as much use any more.

These little measuring devices have markings for the following:
Tablespoons (1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Ounces (1/4, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2)
Milliliters (5 thru 60, in 5 ml increments)
Cups (1/16, 1/8, 1/4)

These cups stack together and don't take up much room. I store them inside my 1 cup measuring cup. They are easy to read from the top for the two most used measures (tablespoons and ounces). They are also easy to clean.

I find them to be very useful for measuring the oil that you are going to saute in, avoiding the problem of a tablespoon becoming a quarter cup. They are also great for measuring single servings of salad dressing, and small amounts of Parmesan cheese.

I highly recommend this product.

These little guys are a handy idea. I always seem to find that recipe that needs three TBSP of something. And that something always seems to be in a gallon container. Then I have to try to be carefull enough to measure a TBSP, while hefting the gallon jug, and not overflow the spoon. I seem to find this very difficult, and these little guys are my handy answer. I just used them when I measured out 3 TBSP of vinegar (in a gallon jug) for Easter eggs. I was so much easier this way.

I really appreciate every aspect of these fantastic measuring cups.

The good:
1) The size is great; you can measure small amounts while supporting larger containers with both hands for pouring.
2) The visibility of the measure marks from above. It goes without saying that this is one of the best features. You can see the amount without bending over to the counter while holding a large jug.
3) They stack; not super flat, but they do stack, and that makes packing easy. They also fit very well sideways in a drawer instead of taking up cabinet space.
4) They are color coded. My set came with red, green and blue markings. I had to measure water and vinegar, and I didn't have smell the vinegar to know which was which.

I couldn't really think of anything bad about them. I do have a note though: My kid likes to play with them as cups. they actually make really good size cups for children, so they seem to attract little hands. Make sure you encourage them to help cook so they are not just taking away your measure cups. :)

I bought two sets of these, thinking I might give one set as a gift. I don't think so! They are so great, I use them all the time. The larger size is good, but cup measures are so common. It's much easier to measure a cup then a few tablespoons.

My husband loves them for mixing drinks. I use them in my cooking. I love being able to measure the tablespoons without having to do the spoon thing. So much more convenient. The other day I was making a lime vinaigrette and I needed to measure the lime juice. I just squeezed the lime directly into the cup and was even able to scrape it against the top to finish getting the last of the juice. Two tablespoons before you know it!

I wasn't sure when I bought them how much they would be used, but I can tell they are going to be a workhorse of my kitchen. I might still give the other set away as a gift, but I will always have a few of these in my kitchen.

I love these so much I'm buying another set, after having misplaced all but one in a sloppy move.
I have found these to be very handy to measure ingredients required in those "several tablespoon" amounts, and I love the different measures on it (i.e. ounces, tablespoons, mL, etc...). Mine measures accurately when tested.
My only disappointment, and the only reason it isn't a perfect 5-star product, is that it's made of plastic, which I detest, and which has prevented me from purchasing the larger measuring cups (I am going to try one of the stainless steel ones). If it was made of borosilicate, which is nice and lightweight, I would buy the whole set!
The shape makes it difficult to clean by hand, so mine goes into a basket on the top rack of my dishwasher (a baby product for cleaning utensils which comes in very handy for all small objects like plastic measuring spoons, caps for travel mugs and small lids), and has weathered many cycles.
I think it's an ingenious and useful kitchen gadget.

I love these measuring cups because I can see exactly how much I'm putting into them from above instead of peering and squinting at the measuring lines from the side or using measuring spoons. They are priced well, and very useful. They come in other sizes too, besides this mini-size---all the way up to 4 cups---and come in sets as well. They are made of a sturdy type of hard plastic. The measuring cups are dishwasher safe, but should not be used in the microwave.

I haven't had any problems with them. My husband recently began to use one of the larger ones for measuring his boiling water for oatmeal, and so far it has held up great. However, I like them so much, that I'm worried that the markings on the inside may wear off in time, so I'm getting him a special glass one of his own. I would therefore recommend them ideally for dry ingredients or for cool wet ingredients.

They are handy, easy to store (I can stack mine by staggering the handles) and easy to clean. The handles are made of rubber for easy gripping, very nice. I still have some of my old traditional measuring cups but I only use these.

Don't you love when you watch a cooking show and the host has everything pre-measured in little bowls and all they have to do is just pop it in at the right time.

Well these little gems will allow you to do just that. They are great for getting all your ingredients measured and ready. They are much easier to use than little spoons and you don't have to hold the spoon with one hand and pour with the other. A nice design touch is that each has different color markings on them(red, blue and green). They also stack nicely inside each other.

I bought these for the wife and she loves them. She likes to pre-measure out different ingredients prior to cooking and having a bunch of these is great for that. We have a set of larger ones and a couple of sets of the small ones. My only complaint is that they are made of plastic and I would always prefer glass. I would buy glass ones in a flash if they made them.

I bought one of these for my fiance to use when making mixed drinks. He loves it! The two-sided jigger is now collecting dust in a drawer. With these little cups it's so easy to make mixed drinks that have a combination of .5, 1, 1.5, and 2-ounces of liquor and mixer. Easy to pour and not messy--what every budding bartender needs! And this is a 3-pack--woohoo!

Although small, these little cups come in really handy. Have small amounts of liquid to measure before you measure those tablespoons of sugar or flour? Now you don't need to be concerned, just use a little OXO cup and move on! I use them every time I bake and leave the measuring spoons dry or completely alone. Just love them and need another set!
