Is there a seam, or are the cups pressed out of a single sheet of metal?

Does not have ridges or seams, yes-pressed from a single sheet as far as I can tell. I have to add that this is by far the best pan I've used since my youth....I've given away all the non-stick dark colored pans.

NOT A SINGLE SHEET! All of these cupcake pans have a seem on the bottom, right under the lip. I believe the manufacturers do this to create an air pocket, to help prevent burning. Unfortunately, with aluminum, that just means you have two thin sheets next to each other...and that means easy bending/warping. As far as I can tell, certain cookie sheets are the only "solid" aluminum bakeware.

I don't make them, but owning one, there's no way to make legitimate pattern welded steel from a blank. Those are the "damascene" type, usually acid etched with a pattern, whereas these are folded, making the design part of the structure. So yeah. Definitely not blanks.

It appears that there is a seam on the outside of most pieces including all the cups, creamer and the tea pot. The inside is smooth with no sign of the seam.

Hi Elaine,In answer to your question...yes the cup seems to be copper through and through. It is really quite lovely and also an ample size as well. I gave it as a gift and felt very happy with its quality. I hope this helps in your decision making! All the best, Nancy

I haven't had a problem with the ones I ordered. I do not see any seams in the molds.

There is what appears to be a seam around the container, but it is just a mold line from the manufacturing process. These are heavy duty mil spec water containers.

They do have seams on the sides. I originally thought that would be a deal-killer for me but I ordered them anyway. I have to admit I barely notice the seams now. I highly recommend these glasses, along with the Brutool Turtle for pouring the perfect Half-and-Half.

I purchased the cups a few months ago from this sale page. There were no pictures of a soft spouted cup. I received hard spouted cups.

Under the leather is real felt. The cup feels like real leather but it may be synthetic. In any event, it's very nice.

The edges are turned up but the inside part is flat. No indentation for a cup.

No, they are just indentions and do not say anything on it. I took my measuring cup and filled it with water and poured it in and it was over the first mark, so the first mark is under 1 cup. Honestly I'm not sure why they are on there. Hope that helps!

I don't know about Etchingthe cup. I do know one of them cracked on the inner glass. I'm just waiting for the other one to do the same. Not a great item

Some of these answers are clearly not answering about the HIC measuring cup set. The metal is absolutely not thin, and they aren't spot welded. I can send you pictures of my set if you want =)

There is not, they are simply 100% copper cup. A bit small for mules, if that's what you are looking at them for. Otherwise a very simple, unfussy little cup.

Cups are metal with "Teflon" type coating on inside. I recommend not using metal utensil to get eggs out.

Mine were like that as well. Reading some of the other reviews, this seems to be the norm. My mugs are super sturdy and none of them have broke because of the seam/"crack".

I returned the HIC measuring cups; the set was not as shown on the Amazon site. The metal was thin and the handles were spot welded to the cups as opposed to being one piece. I replaced these with the 6 piece Bellemain set, much more substantial and each is one piece.
