I adore my OXO plastic Mini Angled Measuring Cup for making cocktails. The angled design, allowing you to see the measuring marks from both the outside as well as looking down into the cup is nothing short of genius. When I saw this 'upgraded' version in metal, I had to have it. This metal version is terrible, however. I liked it quite a bit at first. Not being able to see through the sides turned out not to be a big deal and the brushed metal appearance looks a bit classier than the 'Science Lab' look of the clear plastic version. Unfortunately, OXO chose to print the measurements on the metal rather than stamp the lines and numbers into the metal itself. 2 weeks of use and the markings are so faint, you can barely read them. At the end of a month, I am sure they will be washed off entirely.. And we're talking handwash here. No harsh diswasher treatment. I'm not sure if the Alcohol has accelerated the fading, but it makes no difference really. it's still way too much to have spent on something that is rendered useless in a matter of weeks. I'm a huge OXO fan, but I'd frankly give this a Zero star if I could.

Want more accuracy when making cocktails, of course you do. Proportions can be tricky. This is your new favorite bartending tool.

It has the following graduations 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 1 1/2 oz, 2oz on one side and Tbs on the other (I never use that side, but I could cause it's always there)

This is a great product, and a great addition to any bar.

I currently have 3 of these little measuring tools. I use them as a prep tool for measuring small amounts of herbs and spices as well as for measuring oil and vinegar for salad dressings ( I cook for two most of the time). They are dishwasher safe and the measuring marks do not come off in the dish washer like the plastic version. These are a must in my kitchen. A great size for small measuring needs.

I purchased this mini cup to make my total order qualify for free shipping.When I received it I did not think I would use it too much. I first used to measure cereal. Then I used it to measure small amounts of an ingredient. Next I used it to break eggs. I would recommend this cup to any baker.

Stick with the plastic ones! I got this one thinking "stainless is better, right?" WRONG! The gradations are difficult to read (they are printed very lightly on the inside). THe plastic version is MUCH better.

Also, i dont know what kind of super glue they use to put on their stickers, but WOW! I couldnt get them off (they put one INSIDE the bottom, too--so you dont want that left over gunk getting into your food!). I called OXO's customer service and got a snippy lady who said I should have used a hair dryer. "should have?!" Odd that they need to put instructions on their products on how to remove their junk! Anyway, hair dryer didnt work. Soap didnt work. Oil/WD-40 didnt work. FINALLY my painter suggested paint thinner. It worked, but still took me over 20 minutes to get the gunk off.

I love most OXO products, but this one is a lemon, and their customer service "help" was anything but that!

Bought the jigger size stainless steel one for cocktail mixing. It's useless. The graduation markings are so light, you can't read them. OXO stuff is top quality, but they failed here.

This little cup is great to measure several tbs at a time. It is cute and functional at the same time. Honestly I only purchased it to meet the min. to get free shipping, but it is worth it. I have been looking for a small measuring cup for some time, and this is just what I needed.

Great quality and a useful little gadget for everything from drink mixing to baking.

The perfect jigger for making cocktails. Better weighted and more durable than the plastic version. You won't remember what you used before...

1) Rust: after a few months of owning it, I have to scrub off the rust spots every other time I wash it.
2) Stickers: I still haven't been able to remove the labels.
3) Markings: hard to see when measuring anything other than water.

Don't bother.
