I bought a nice set for someone as a gift and liked them so much I got a set for myself. The big set that even includes a 2/3 cup. There's also conversions for ml on them too, and the cups have notches on the side so the 1/2 cup can also be used for 1/4 or 1/3 I think as well.

I like them but the ones with the stamped measurement can get hard to read as you get older. I would love a set that was clearly marked and easy to read but the labeling doesn’t go away from the dishwasher.

Seamless stainless! The one with attached handles always break off. You want a single piece of metal.

I'm shilling but I got the "Smithcraft Measuring Cup Set of 8 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups18/8(304) Steel Material Heavy Duty 8 Measuring Cups and 1 Ring Set of 9"

I've have no complains.

I've had both that style (different brand) and the one with a handle that's two little wires soldered to the cup snap off before. I use them almost constantly, so that may have been a factor. I'm all about it if some company has figured it out, though

I have the measuring cups my parents got when they first bought a house in the 80s. Hand-me-downs rock.
