One missing measuring spoon can turn a simple recipe into a drawer search. Joseph Joseph Nest Measure puts eight measures into one brightly coloured stack with handles that snap together. The rainbow is cheerful, but the stronger reason to buy it is having a consistent place for both the small spoon sizes and larger cups.
The stack is a storage system
The photographs show individual measures lifting out and handles clicking back into the group. The range runs from a quarter teaspoon, marked 1.25 ml, to a cup marked 250 ml. It is a standalone measuring set, not the larger Nest 9 bowl collection.
For occasional baking or cooking from volume-based recipes, that range is useful. After washing, return the pieces together rather than letting the smallest ones disappear among utensils. The maker lists dishwasher-safe care and a nested size of 17.3 by 7.7 by 8 cm. Check that height as well as drawer width.
There is an important international detail
A cup is not the same volume in every recipe tradition. This set’s largest cup is marked 250 ml; do not assume that every American recipe’s cup means that exact amount. Read the recipe’s measurement convention and use the printed millilitre markings where they match.
For baking that depends on precision, a scale and a recipe expressed in grams may be more appropriate than treating any cup set as a substitute. Flour packed tightly into a cup is also a different problem from the cup’s stated capacity.
Buy the routine, not just the colours
Choose the multicolour 40019 set if you use both cups and small measures and want them kept together. Skip it if your recipes are almost entirely weighed, you already own a complete set, or a tall nested stack will not fit. Our recommendation comes from the specifications and photographs, not a hands-on measurement-accuracy test.
