Interviews with 7 participants revealed: 67% of home cooks do not use measuring tools. 100% failed cooking at some point.

Users certainly didn't enojy something about the measuring tools in their kitchen.

Consumers disliked the following about the measuring tools:

1. Measuring cups often come in multiple pieces
2. Non cohesive appearances clutter the kitchen
3. Bigger glass cups are less versatile
