I have a 2 cup pyrex but the spout on it is absolutely terrible. I've also heard modern pyrex kind of sucks anyway, so I'm looking for recommended brands to replace it with. Any suggestions?

I’ve found and love my vintage Pyrex measuring cups and completely agree, the new ones are sloppy compared to what they once were. If you live near a city you’ll see a lot of them on Craigslist, marketplace, or estate/move out auctions to find some older sets. If not you can find some online for about double what you’d expect to pay from local sellers, just be on the look out for any cracks or chips if you can’t see them in person before buying.

Plus it feels good to buy used and reduce landfill fodder.

All the glass ones I've seen suck. Their pour spots are horrible and they don't have frequently used measurement gradations. The best ones I've used are the Oxo ones but they are unfortunately plastic.

I haven't found one yet, but I do recommend stamped metal with etched labels for 1 cup and lower measuring cups and spoons. I've replaced a plastic set with metal because the labels had all disappeared from the plastic over the years.

Definitely agree, that's what I've got for my 1 Cup and under!

I like the anchor steam which might be wal mart house brand. The pour spout is better than my Pyrex
