My favorite thing about this cup is the measurement markings on the inside of the cup. I am usually in a hurry and I'm not always careful about the amount of milk I pour into my frother. As a result, several times lately, my cup runneth over (LOL) during the frothing process. This cup makes it very easy for me to consistently and easily pour the right amount of milk into the frother. Because my frother is the type that is a bit large and not made to pour the frothed milk directly into a coffee cup, I transfer the foamy milk into this cup and then use it to pour the milk into the coffee cups. It works perfectly for this purpose. I actually bought it to use as a cream/milk server on a breakfast buffet table. Those cute little porcelain creamer and sugar sets are usually too small and have to be refilled frequently. This cup looks nice and is big enough to serve milk or cream to at least 6 people. Plus, I love the stainless look. Easy to clean, easy to use - just what I didn't know I needed but sure do appreciate!!
