I like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?

To answer your question: I switched to Oxo brand and those are pretty solid.
I’m not sure about the specifics but I’m fairly certain that the Pyrex brand has taken a bit of a hit and quality like that with a change the chemical composition of their glassware a while back.
There’s two types of pyrex actually. pyrex and PYREX (looks cooler on the logos): https://www.allrecipes.com/article/what-is-the-difference-between-two-pyrex-types/
I know there’s no real way for people to intuitively know but it’s not remotely that simple (if only it were): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbkDAw4aJs
This link answers all these mysteries, in short buy your pyrex in Europe apparently.

Anchor Hocking is totally acceptable in my book 🤷♂️
We use ours constantly, last count we have 6 Anchor Hocking cups and they’re great, but none of them can handle pouring with precision. That’s just a tempered glass and a thick lip thing though.
I’ve discovered that putting a little bit of cornstarch or flour (like a fingerprint dab amount) on the spout helps to make the liquid flow properly instead of sidewashing. It breaks the surface tension.
Whoa! Great tip cheers 👍
Lowercase pyrex shatters from temp change.
Yeah lower case is just regular soda lime glass. Capital is borosilicate which has better thermal shock resistance. Same for glassware.
I had heard this too. We generally like our Oxo stuff, I’ll look into it!
I don’t have their measuring cups, but in my experience Oxo is a pretty solid brand for the price
