18/8 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups by Kitchen Zest, 5-Pcs Cup Set with Engraved Measurements - Soft-Touch Black Ergonomic Handles

I love the gripper handles and the sleek look. It is easy to read the etched measurements and level off the ingredients; however, the handles bend with a little pressure. I scooped the cup into the flour canister and when I pulled it out the handle bent down. I was able to bend it back into place but a little worried it will break off eventually.

The handles are kind of flimsy, I bent it accidentally trying to scoop up some stew a little too aggressively. More my fault than anything, but was still surprising. Either way they're really easy to clean, extremely handy, and would buy again if something were to happen to them.

These are great measuring cups. The only thing that kept me from rating 5 stars is that I really wanted a 2-cup cup -which is really no reflecting on the manufacturer. The measurement is great, the words are easily read and the handles are comfortable.

Bowl is a nice quality; however the handles feel a little flimsy. I worry it will detach with normal use. For that reason I would not buy again.

just got these, so long term is still up in the air. but, for now, these look fine. well machined, 18/8 stainless, with a satin finish. no, all stainless is not the same. these, under normal use, should last a lifetime. well, if you don't store them in your pickle jar. handles are of adequate thickness, so they won't bend with common use. spot rivets appear to be strong. one of the few, if not only measuring utensils offered with a "grip" handle. finally, something that won't slip out of your fingers when you're trying to use it. set comes with a large storage ring, if you would like to hang them on your reindeer. I like mine laid out in the drawer, so I can grab the one I need without sounding like MARLEY talking to SCROOGE. tired of the plastic and the cheapies? try these, you'll like them.

I bought these measuring cups very recently and so far I am very happy with them. They are easy to work with and the five sizes cover my needs very well. They are made of fairly heavy gauge material and thus the cups have a solid feel and the handle will not bend easily. The rubber inserts in the handle make them easy to hold and comfortable in the hand. From reviewing other people's comments about steel measuring cups with handles that are welded to the cup, it seems that the biggest question has to do with the durability of the welds. The handles are attached with three spot welds. The welds appear to be well done but only time will tell if they hold up as well as I expect them to.

These measuring cups arrived in a timely manner. They are pretty to look at with their blue handles, however, the handles are flimsy and easily bend. Although the description on Amazon says they are 18/8 stainless steel they are not labeled as such on the actual measuring cups which makes me wonder. I was disappointed with them and feel they are not worth the price I paid for them.

These little cups have done their duty well! They're not made of a flimsy grade of steel; they are solidly built and so far have put up admirably with being tossed around the kitchen. Their weight (in my opinion) is well-balanced, too - they have just enough weight to feel satisfyingly solid and not so heavy that working with them becomes annoying. As far as form and function are concerned, they're not flashy - they're just measuring cups. They do what they do, and they're made better by their simplicity. They look nice and their solid construction makes using them very satisfying.
