These liquid measuring cups are beautiful and I really like them. From both a visual perspective and a quality perspective, I recommend them. However, if you want to buy them for a specific purpose, take note of my experience: I bought them because I wanted to use one to heat up and froth milk for my latte. For this use, these are probably not the best, because it is important to note that, while the cup does hold the amount it is supposed to (e.g., the 1 cup measure holds a cup), to get to that amount you basically have to fill it to the top of the cup, with no room to maneuver. So if you want to heat milk, for instance, you can't stir it with a spoon because the liquid will spill over the side. If it's full, it also spills a bit when it pours. I can't froth in the cup because it quickly spills over the side. What I am doing to compensate is to use the cup that is larger than what I need (the 1.5 cup instead of the 1 cup) and that might be helpful for you too.
