I bought these cups because of the good reviews and the fact that the handle and cup are one solid piece of metal as opposed to being welded together. My first impression of these cups was that they are heavy, almost to the point of being unwieldy. Also the measuring spoon aspect of the handle seems like it will be rarely used. They are long and shallow which i guess is good for small necked containers but everyone has a set of measuring spoons so why use it. Also the volume is laser etched at the base of the handle but mine came looking a little smudged and I'm not sure how long they will be readable. Also the 1 cup is 4 inches across so consider that if you are using jars to store your ingredients. Each cup has a partial measure mark partway up the inside of the cup, but that would only be useful for liquids I think.

On the plus side, they look nice, with a brushed metal exterior finish and a smooth polish inside the cups. Also they look seriously durable so I don't anticipate having to replace them ever. Should be easy to clean too considering there are no edges.

These measuring cups are very stylish sitting on the counter. They are hefty and made very well. Easy to scoop with and a breeze to clean. I'm glad I found these when I was looking for a set of measuring cups that will last forever.

Measuring cups and spoons in one. They are very stylish and convenient. You only wash one set or one at a time instead of cups and 4 spoons. The only drawback is that you have to rest them on a the black ring pictured, since the bottom is rounded. They are heavy and sturdy. I don't see why you'd buy any other measuring cups.
