The Best Measuring Cups I've Ever Owned
I bought these almost six years ago. Best measuring cups I've ever had the pleasure of using. These wash in the dishwasher easily. Zero rust. They nest perfectly. They are a single piece of stainless so the handle is part of the cup. The measurements are engraved so you can never wash off the markings. There's a variety of measurements in the set so you can take one scoop and get 2/3 or 3/4 cup without multiple fillings of a smaller unit. The set costs a little more than others but I believe I will never need to buy another set in my life!

A Very Nice Measuring Cup Set
One of our sets of measuring cups was made of graphite resin. After many years the 1 cup handle snapped off. So I went looking for a replacement. I am very pleased to say I found a better set!These are excellent measuring cups, accurate and proportional. Each measure is one piece of stainless steel with absolutely no seams or crevasses that are hard to clean. The rim is even and a leveling knife slides smoothly across each measure. The rim is only slightly flared, not rolled, which makes the measure work better and be very easy to clean. The handles are wide, not long, and easy to grip between thumb and forefinger and middle finger of either hand. The shorter handles make them easy to get into and out of a bag or box of flour, sugar, or corn starch. A wonderful feature is that they stack squarely either right-side up or down, preventing the handle from getting stuck in the drawer as you attempt to open it! The markings are clear, and easy to read under most light, though they can disappear in glare or reflections at certain angles. The "extra" 3/4 cup (180 ml) is very convenient.I tested each cup for volume as follows: Using a digital scale accurate to 1/8 oz I placed each measure on the center of the scale and adjusted the tare weight to zero (net). I then added room temperature water to full using an eye dropper to ensure a complete fill. The contents of each cup weighed 1/8 oz above the expected weight. Note that this is the accuracy of the scale. Also note that the method of filling ensures that the water "domes" above the cup. Also, I am pretty much at sea level, 70 degrees, and average air pressure. Just to be certain I tested other cups from different manufacturers that I have used many times and discovered they all measured this same way. (The weight of water at sea level is one pint (volume) = one pound (weight).)The only thing that would make this set better is if they included an 1/8 cup measure (2 oz) that stacked right in. This is a standard coffee measure, but I have found it very useful when making recipes for just two people. For example, a two-cookie chocolate chip recipe I make requires 1/8 cup of sugar, and it is easier to measure in one scoop than multiple table spoons.

Heavy duty excellent quality
Love these measuring cups and don't know why I've waited so long. Heavy duty, well made and I'm sure this will be the last set I will ever need to purchase.

Best measuring cups I've tried to date
Really cannot say enough good things about these measuring cups. We previously used a set of plastic measuring cups, and when the handle snapped off on one while trying to scoop out a cup full of sugar, we decided to toss the whole set and try out a stainless steel product. I'd never heard of Bellemain before searching for these, but picked these based on the fantastic reviews. The price was a little higher than some competitors but nonetheless, all the reviews seemed to indicate that they were the ones to get.When they arrived, I thought they looked a little cheap in the packaging to be honest...they just come in a fairly plain looking cardboard box that is eerily reminiscent of lower cost import products. But I quickly forgot about that after removing them from the box. The design of these measuring cups is pretty much perfect. The measurement on each one is stamped into the metal handle, so you'll never have to worry about it fading away or wearing off. The cups have a little "nub" on the front of each so that they stack great in a set and lay flat, so they don't take up much space or pop up to jam kitchen drawers like some other sets do. The stainless steel is the perfect thickness...not too thick to be annoyingly heavy, but thick enough that you can tell these things could take a beating and still last for many, many years.Some other reviews had some concerns about the handles being too short. I'm 5'11" with slightly larger than average hands, and I didn't find the handle length to be an issue at all. Still plenty long to easily get a comfortable grip on even the smallest measuring cup. I actually found that I appreciated the short handles, because it makes them much easier to fit in our utensil drawer.All in all, easy five star rating for me. They clean up perfectly whether by hand or in the dishwasher, the measurements are accurate, and I can tell that these will withstand any abuse I throw at them. I'd be surprised if I buy another set of measuring cups anytime in the next 25 years.
