Those three-point tack welds on the measuring cups do not spell quality; although I do need both of these items in my kitchen I was disappointed when I scrolled down to reveal the $44 price tag. Meh.
kingpingWhile I fully believe in spending a little extra $ for a quality tool, even measuring cups and spoons, I totally agree with your reaction. These look like the cups and spoons you'd want to upgrade with something fancy from massdrop :p
Yup, Massdrop does it again -- offering us a product that is available now for less on Amazon. Does no-one at MD do any price research?
Bought as separate products (cups and spoons), this set costs a total of under $40 on Amazon, shipping today. Or for one dollar more you can get the spice (rectangular) spoons instead of the round ones.
Currently way cheaper on Amazon just google it. Also you can get the better spoons if you want, instead of these crappy ones.
*its 2 separate pages, there will be some math involved, as well as maybe two or three extra clicks. so be warned.
