Customer Review: It is tiny.
Summary: 2 Stars
It is a cup measure that is so tiny it does not measure a cup.Customer Review: Buy the Clear Plastic One. Not this.
Summary: 1 Stars
I adore my OXO plastic Mini Angled Measuring Cup for making cocktails. The angled design, allowing you to see the measuring marks from both the outside as well as looking down into the cup is nothing short of genius. When I saw this 'upgraded' version in metal, I had to have it. This metal version is terrible, however. I liked it quite a bit at first. Not being able to see through the sides turned out not to be a big deal and the brushed metal appearance looks a bit classier than the 'Science Lab' look of the clear plastic version. Unfortunately, OXO chose to print the measurements on the metal rather than stamp the lines and numbers into the metal itself. 2 weeks of use and the markings are so faint, you can barely read them. At the end of a month, I am sure they will be washed off entirely.. And we're talking handwash here. No harsh diswasher treatment. I'm not sure if the Alcohol has accelerated the fading, but it makes no difference really. it's still way too much to have spent on something that is rendered useless in a matter of weeks. I'm a huge OXO fan, but I'd frankly give this a Zero star if I could.Customer Review: Hard to read, hard to get the stickers off!

Stick with the plastic ones! I got this one thinking "stainless is better, right?" WRONG! The gradations are difficult to read (they are printed very lightly on the inside). THe plastic version is MUCH better.
Also, i dont know what kind of super glue they use to put on their stickers, but WOW! I couldnt get them off (they put one INSIDE the bottom, too--so you dont want that left over gunk getting into your food!). I called OXO's customer service and got a snippy lady who said I should have used a hair dryer. "should have?!" Odd that they need to put instructions on their products on how to remove their junk! Anyway, hair dryer didnt work. Soap didnt work. Oil/WD-40 didnt work. FINALLY my painter suggested paint thinner. It worked, but still took me over 20 minutes to get the gunk off.
I love most OXO products, but this one is a lemon, and their customer service "help" was anything but that!
Customer Review: Terrible Design
Summary: 1 Stars
1) Rust: after a few months of owning it, I have to scrub off the rust spots every other time I wash it.
2) Stickers: I still haven't been able to remove the labels.
3) Markings: hard to see when measuring anything other than water.
Don't bother.
Customer Review: Can't read the graduations
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought the jigger size stainless steel one for cocktail mixing. It's useless. The graduation markings are so light, you can't read them. OXO stuff is top quality, but they failed here.
