I love the design of Oxo's liquid measuring cups.  No longer do I need to bend over to get the perfect side-view of the measuring cup as I pour.  With these Oxo measuring cups, I'm able to look down into the cup and measure from the top.  For these internal measurements, the numbers themselves are written on top of the measurement line so you can still see the one you want, even for opaque liquids.  This cup is plastic, so it's very light.  It also has a nice soft handle that's easy to grip.  It says that it's microwave and dishwasher safe (but warns against microwaving fatty substances like oil or butter).  This is my new go-to measuring cup!
