This is a really cool concept, poorly executed. The clear sleeve slides up and down on an aluminum cylinder. The top of the cylinder is a rubber gasket that seals the sleeve, thus preventing leakage between the sleeve and the cylinder. All of that works fine.
The problem is that at the bottom of the aluminum cylinder is a plastic ring of a larger diameter than the cylinder. This ring stops the sleeve from sliding below the top of the cylinder, and also acts as a foot so you can stand the measuring cup. Unfortunately, the ring is made from a fairly hard plastic, which can become brittle and crack. But it doesn't break away cleanly so you're left with a measuring cup that won't stand up straight. That might be fine if you're measuring things and dumping them straight into a bowl, but if you have to sit the thing down while it's full, forget it.

I received this set as a wedding gift two years ago and all three pieces work well. I especially like the spoons they save so much space by having multiple measurements in one spoon (as opposed to a separate spoon for each measurement). They are easy to clean and easy to use. The cup is good for peanut butter and shortening, but I don't use it for liquids. I really like my adjust-a-measure set and would recommend it to friends and family.
