First off, the cups are excellent; heavy weghit cast stainless and very nicely finished, but these come out of the same Chinese factories that produce dozens of other brands under contract and you can get the same quality level for half this price if you're willing to give up the All-Clad name. If you must have this brand be aware of the marketing strategies at work here. This set from amazon is about $50 (at the time of this writing) and contains 5 cups of mixed sizes (1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, and 1 cup). A 4 cup set (available at Williams-Sonoma for $30) contains the 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup and 1 cup selection. W-S also carries a combo set for $39 that includes the 4 cups and the matching 4 measuring spoon set. Figure on about $9 W-S shipping and you're looking at 5 cups from amazon (how often are you going to use the 1/3 2/3 cup vs. the missing 3/4 cup size?) or 4 cups and 4 spoons from W-S. W-S also carries another set of the odd size cups and spoons as an add-on for $30.Trying to noodle through this made my head hurt so I got the CIA set instead and couldn't be happier, but do check out the sizes to know just what you're getting. This marketing strategy is becoming more prevalent and All-Clad seems to be in the forefront (if you're looking for high end mixing bowls . check out the sizes as well; sets from different retailers contain different sizes). | |||
