I mostly use the measuring cup to crack eggs and measure almond milk for smoothies. I know one of the other reviews said that the paint was wearing off, but I suspect that person put their cup in the dishwasher. I know the product description says it's dishwasher friendly, and it probably is on a regular cycle, but if you have a fancier dishwasher, don't wash the measuring cup on "sterilize" mode. I've been hand washing mine and haven't had problems so far with the paint. #sweepstakes
