Pyrex measuring cups are valued for everyday kitchen use, but the main draw here is the familiar glass set rather than standout performance. The cups are described as fine for basic measuring, and the 2 cup size gets regular use. The biggest knocks are poor pouring, with the 4 cup especially called out, and markings that wear off quickly. Durability is also questioned after a 1 cup shattered in the microwave. The warehouse price around $11 makes the delivered $16.99 feel less compelling.
The set can be used for everyday measuring tasks, with some owners reporting regular use of similar Pyrex measuring cups.
Borosilicate lab beakers are suggested as an alternative if the goal is better thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength for heating and cooling.
The etching and glass-type differences between U.S. and European Pyrex are clarified, which can help shoppers choose the glass type they want.
The measuring cups reportedly pour very badly, especially the 4-cup style, making them harder to use than other jugs.
The printed markings reportedly wear off quickly, which can reduce usability for accurate measuring over time.
The online $16.99 price is questioned because the cups reportedly sell for about $11 in-store or $10.99 in the warehouse.
Microwaving water for about 15 seconds reportedly caused the 1-cup to explode and shatter after only two uses.

I have a couple of regular uppercase 2-cup measuring cups and pretty much use them daily. A 4-cup lowercase version I bought later is way too heavy to use over a stainless steel mixing bowl.
The Pyrex Griffin 250mL Beaker is made of borosilicate glass. This material offers excellent thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength, making it safe for heating and cooling.

Not sure what the difference is between the USA/No. 1000 beaker that I have and some of the 1003 that Amazon lists.
Check your lab supply store, too, where it might be cheaper.
