 Quality has been reducedSep 03, 2010
By Douglas P. Hartley
Several years back I bought a set of Amco stainless steel measuring cups that look identical to how these do. I needed another set, so I bought them here, thinking they were the same.
They're not.
My original set is decently heavy (if I get a chance, I'll update this post with the difference in grams), heavy enough for even the 1/4 cup to stand freely and level on its circular base.
The handles on my original set are heavy duty and cannot be bent.
This set's 1/4 cup doesn't stand freely on its own. It tips onto its handle, and its handle can be bent.
In short, they're lower quality, but if you've never owned a set, maybe that won't bother you.
Additionally, in my opinion, these stainless steel cups are much better than the average plastic cups for baking. The handles are designed better for scooping things like flour, and I really like having the markings for when I want to use the 1 cup measurer to measure, say, a half cup. I find stainless steel is easier to clean up too and they never melt and crack in the dishwasher like I've had plastic cups do.
Meanwhile, I'm still searching for a set that's as high quality as my original Amco cups...
22.Feb.2011 Update:
As previously mentioned, I'm listing weight differences below that support my review's complaint:
Weight differences in grams for the original Amco stainless steel measuring cups I own versus this set:
Size, Original, This Set, % Reduction
1 cup, 196, 150, 23%
1/2 cup, 140, 110, 21%
1/3 cup, 114, 88, 23%
1/4 cup, 116, 76, 34%

 It's true it is more light weight and bendable.Sep 09, 2010
By nerak
If you like things with a more heavy-duty quality and feel, you probably don't want to order this from amazon. Crate and Barrel sells the exact same thing (by the product number anyways, 8440) for $20 also, but the Crate and Barrel set weighs 120 grams more than the amazon set. I actually measured it using a kitchen scale. With this said, it's really up to you whether or not you prefer something more lightweight or heavy-duty. I personally prefer a more heavy-duty feel because I am looking for something that's going to last a long time. The handles on the Amazon set do bend more easily while the one from the Crate and Barrel set does not bend at all. I'm not sure why Amco is producing products with different quality for different sellers. On the other hand, the Amazon set is still a decent buy, but I'll probably be giving it away rather than using it myself. I suppose I probably wouldn't have minded if I didn't end up going to Crate and Barrel to pick up the matching spoon set and felt the cup set they sold there.

 Beautiful, well-made product! A nice accessory for your kitchen.Sep 22, 2005
By LittleVTwinMama
These are gorgeous: heavy weight, solid one-piece construction (hard to find, easy to clean), wide-bottomed stable design. They have marks on the inside to measure half of the cup.
I will be getting all of the cups and spoons!
[Update: The one-cup cup is fairly large at 4 inches, making getting into some containers difficult, and can be messy. I bake bread and find that leveling the flour requires a long, straight edge because of the size, and if I don't measure over the sink, I make a mess. I haven't found a suitable alternative, though.]

Love these cups!Feb 19, 2005

My old measuring cups had handles that welded on to the side of the cup. They worked but over the years the handles had bent. These new cups have one piece construction. They are heavy 18/10 steel and have a very nice feel to them. These just make cooking enjoyable.

 Wish it would of been okay...Jan 29, 2012
By Kah-tay
I was super excited about these. Description said durable 18/10 stainless steel. Well, they arrived...either before, or in transit, nested cups rubbed against each other. Bottoms appeared to have paint rubbed off. 18/10? Stainless Steel? I don't think so. Didn't want the silver polish, paint, whatever it is, coming off and mixing with my food. Returned them, cancelled spoons, gave up and got All Clad. Some day I hope to find a well made measuring spoon and cup set Made in USA!
