FAVORITE STUFF: Pyrex Griffen Beaker Set

I love this set of lab glassware from Pyrex. I may be a little extra nerdy with this but the set is made from borosilicate glass rather than the soda lime glass you will find in the Pyrex consumer grade glassware. Pyrex sold their consumer grade line to a separate company that uses soda lime glass unless you are lucky enough to get your Pyrex glassware in Europe (it is still made of borosilicate). I won't go into too much detail but borosilicate doesn't have has many thermal expansion issues (expanding when heating). The glass for the 1000 series (see the "1000" just below the white rectangle) is a little thin, the "heavy duty" 1003 series (pricier) is thicker. I use the above Griffen beaker set much more than I expected. It was a gift from my amazing girlfriend and I find it to be the perfect shape for using a hand mixer and the spout is fantastic for pouring into cream whippers, hot water for pour over coffee, ice cream churners etc...
