However, I love it, otherwise. The minis just went on my wishlist

The one I have is plastic by OXO, I'm not aware of a metal one. It's2 1/4" tall and 2 3/4 wide. Very lightweight and dishwasher safe. I don't mind about the plastic on this one because if it slips out of my hands because its so small, if my hands are wet or greasy while cooking it probably won't break. I Agree that glass would really be a better value because it would probably last even longer than the thinner plastic.
****The one downside I've encountered with my little oxo cup {that I forgot to mention in my previous post} is that I suggest for you to be careful of scratching the outside paint of this cup because it comes off!. I must have put mine next to something scratchy in the sink or dishwasher because little chips of the painted on area where the numbers and background are have come off in spots. This doesn't happen at all with my glass Pyrex stuff. So if you get one of these just take care to baby it a little, other than that I think it's very handy!! I think I saw that Pyrex also has something that measures by the spoonful. Its much bigger in the shape of a drinking glass and made out of glass.
All the items I mentioned can be purchased at the 'Bed Bath and Beyond Store' if you have those in Texas.
Wow!!! You met Alton!!! COOOOOl !!!!!!
