@BillLehecka I can’t imagine it’s 18/10. Cuisinart won’t even tell you the grade and if they were 18/10 they would. That being said Cuisinart’s site shows the Divonne style is discontinued, so if you want matching silverware and you like it I’d jump on it.
@Stallion@yakkoTDI It’s about tine for you two to stick it together! (Though you forks all look alike to me – I can’t tell you apart: the salad fork from the meat fork.) Else you’ll flat ware me out, and then I’ll have to whisk you away to the old forks home. See you ladle.
Aaack… Do not EVER put Cuisinart flatware in the dishwasher, the phosphates in dishwasher liquid will wear off the plating and you’ll get rust within just a few washes. Otherwise, good luck!
@jst1ofknd I’m gonna guess you’ve never dragged the silverware out to polish it. Real silverware will tarnish because it’s made with silver, and you’ll never find it this cheap.
You need to take side shots of this stuff so we can gage how this the stainless foil used to make them is. I need thick silverware since I’ve evolved my 8 other thumbs.
@arfdawg@stinks You have to go directly to Apple for bluetooth compatible hardware. Don’t forget the 2021 model will be completely redesigned and incompatible with the 2020 standard.
Meh is selling flatware with the the word “poo” in it phonetically. This is why I love this place. Of course, I’m not actually buying any of this. I’m just here to shake my head and wonder about the decline of Western civilization.
Seriously thinking of getting a set to replace the stupefyingly useless soft plastic cutlery the company provides for the cafeteria. I’d have to take the dirty ones home to wash myself, but I’d be able to say, "Use these - they’re Fampoux " to our most important clients.
Ugh, the little C’s on each piece are very tacky. And the patterns(s)-- HEY, you stole my great grandmother’s flatware! Not much of a bargain either- actually, this is highway cutlery…
@kjbyte@sp3ar I think they looked on the shelf and realized they didn’t have any. They are waiting for us to either forget we ordered or fall to the Covids
@dergreg same here. I was definitely thinking it was too cheap for the cfe’s so I mentally prepared myself in advance for disappointment. But yeah… they finally arrived.
@arfdawg@stinks Click on the Meh link and voila – twice as much for $30! and Free shipping too if you have it from a variety of ways (paying a monthly fee or being one of the early lucky ones, which I was not, so I pay the fee. Worth it for free wine shipments on the other site.)
The reviews on Amazon for both products are concerning. For both they seem to indicate that once those products were relatively heavy but more recent replacement orders resulted in receiving a more flimsy version of it.
@datruandi the CFE (E for elite) model was replaced by the lower quality CF version according to the Amazon reviews. Meh lists CFE on the main product description. But CF on the product page. So I would assume they are separate model numbers. It’s really not clear.
@mlcga note that there are two sets on that link. One is 20 pieces for $35 and is the CFE model number so probably the heavier weight. I assume the 65 piece set for $30 is the lighter weight version of the same pattern. Also per the questions it is not 18/10 but that’s probably the case for all of these.
Think about this! these coupled with a big set of china and glasses and it’s like 4or 5 days (if you’re coupled) or 8 days you don’t have to rujd the dishwasher. That’ll earn the 30 bucks back in year or two. Plus the roaches will thank you.
Is anyone else still waiting for this? Or am I here all alone again?
Ordered on the 7th, received a shipping notification on the 21st. USPS shows the tracking number is still waiting for them to receive the package.
I know which site I won’t be ordered from again any time soon

Good for eating pasta?
@ybmuG Yes, just don’t drop it!
@ybmuG @Zeusandhera And if you do drop it, don’t forget the 5-second rule.
18/10?
18/8?
18/0?
Which is it?
@jmrobinett smug
@jmrobinett I want to say they’re 18/10 (I have a Divonne set), but i’m not 100% sure.
I need to check with the fiancée if I should get a second set as I’m missing some. In my original.
@jmrobinett 18/0 is impossible – just ask any calculator.
@BillLehecka I can’t imagine it’s 18/10. Cuisinart won’t even tell you the grade and if they were 18/10 they would. That being said Cuisinart’s site shows the Divonne style is discontinued, so if you want matching silverware and you like it I’d jump on it.
@phendrick Have you tried doing the square root of 0? Try it.
@jmrobinett I was just looking for this.
@TheCO2 Many times…
So many times, I can now reliably do it in my head…
That, despite the fact that 0 is not a very square number; in fact, it’s about the roundest number I know of.
Fork this.
@yakkoTDI Go fork yourself will ya?
@Stallion @yakkoTDI forket about it.
@grammar_geek @Stallion Well that’s not very knife of you.
@grammar_geek @Stallion @yakkoTDI
Cut it out, fork Christ’s sake. Spoon!
@Stallion @yakkoTDI It’s about tine for you two to stick it together! (Though you forks all look alike to me – I can’t tell you apart: the salad fork from the meat fork.) Else you’ll flat ware me out, and then I’ll have to whisk you away to the old forks home. See you ladle.
@yakkoTDI Do you wanna spoon?
@TheCO2 @yakkoTDI Need more info: Are you non-binary (concave, convex, confused)?
@phendrick @yakkoTDI I’m offended. You should see me stab people with my butter knife.
Only reason I didn’t buy this is because the spoons in the first set look so smug… … fuck u spoons
@Rebelfixed You need to buy them & teach them a lesson.
@RogerWilco I’m almost 100% convinced you’re one of said spoons
Do I have to clean these with shampoux?
@fuzzmanmatt
Fun fact: the French word for shampoo is shampooing.
Less fun fact: Fampooing doesn’t mean anything.
Unless we decide it’s when a family shits together. Then it means that. Agreed?
@fuzzmanmatt @warpedrotors
Sounds very holesome.
@fuzzmanmatt @warpedrotors like The Phanthom of Liberty by Bunuel!
Sold
@fuzzmanmatt @jespensc @warpedrotors I get it. "hole"some. Like a poop hole. heh, heh.
Aaack… Do not EVER put Cuisinart flatware in the dishwasher, the phosphates in dishwasher liquid will wear off the plating and you’ll get rust within just a few washes. Otherwise, good luck!
We need new silverware!
Apparently, though, these are not up to the wife’s standards so we will not be getting this set.
@jst1ofknd This would be considered flatware.
@Kyser_Soze
(Too lazy to Google) What’s the difference? Is it because it’s not actually silver?
@jst1ofknd @Kyser_Soze maybe it’s regional? I call them silverware, but also Dr. Pepper and 7Up are different types of Cokes around here.
@jst1ofknd @Kyser_Soze They’re not even flat.
@djslack
I agree. I think if someone asks for a coke, you should ask what type. They may want Dr. Pepper…
@jst1ofknd I’m gonna guess you’ve never dragged the silverware out to polish it. Real silverware will tarnish because it’s made with silver, and you’ll never find it this cheap.
Was gonna buy a set but that fucking C in a box is ugly.
@adamselby That C in a box only had nice things to say about you.
Meh, nowhere near a worthy savings for some Meh designed silverware I’ll live with for the next decade.
@Stallion I thought “Meh designed” gives it extra collector value!
@pmarin Yeah the value type you hide away to keep safe from friends seeing and never show the light of day.
I just eat with my hands now.
You need to take side shots of this stuff so we can gage how this the stainless foil used to make them is. I need thick silverware since I’ve evolved my 8 other thumbs.
Wife vetoed even though they look ok, and the price is good. Why? “C” other comments.
@h1p1n3 I already have them. It’s really not that bad and they’re great, heavy, high quality flatware
If IRK was using these on Glen in the final picture, the set would be interesting and useful at the same time.
There are knives in this set. Meh was hoping we wouldn’t notice.
@mehcuda67 that’s not a knoife
Made in…?
@rjquillin Where else? China like everything else Cuisinart makes.
@rjquillin a dangerous foreign factory.
$24 @Amazon right now.
@alose $24 That’s for the 20 set
@alose @captkirkstny
Yep. Double that to get the meh offering.
/giphy math
@Kyser_Soze
Oh no! You’re right! I did math! YUCK! EWWW!
BRB I have to take a shower now.
@alose @captkirkstny @jst1ofknd in return you’ll get double the disappointment
Do these actually have that little “c” stamped on every piece?
@ponagathos yes.
@ponagathos @RogerWilco In college, when I was deemed average and made "C"s, I didn’t get them stamped on my forehead.
@ponagathos Apparently so: “Each piece bears a distinctive hallmark ‘C’ for Cuisinart”
… they are saying that like it’s a good thing?
Leaves me flat.
Is this bluetooth compatible?
@arfdawg Yes, but not compatible with macs.
@arfdawg @stinks but mac and cheese is supported in this version.
@arfdawg @stinks You have to go directly to Apple for bluetooth compatible hardware. Don’t forget the 2021 model will be completely redesigned and incompatible with the 2020 standard.

In for a set of the plain. Hate the little “C”. That’s what I call my wife.
@Trinityscrew For your sake let’s assume that stand for “Cute”
Oh fork this!

No HDMI? That’s a deal breaker.
Ordered on May 7th… still hasn’t shipped.
@kjbyte Same. I’m expecting it to be arriving later than the estimated 5/26 delivery date.
@kjbyte Same…My plastic spork is on it’s last leg
@kjbyte same here - yet the wine glasses I ordered after this purchase are shipping today - go figure
@allergycheryl. Hmmm… what’s up with that @meh.com?
@kjbyte I think they are starting to realize having 5 sites shipping from a single warehouse during a pandemic is proving difficult
@kjbyte @sp3ar I think they looked on the shelf and realized they didn’t have any. They are waiting for us to either forget we ordered or fall to the Covids
@kjbyte I think we shamed them. My order just shipped. Now let’s see if it moves
@allergycheryl
Mine too! Let’s see if it can get out of Texas.
Well they made it out of TX and to GA on 5/23 and then <insert crickets here>.
Got mine today. Was expecting cfe-*** and now I see on the buried specs page that it’s only the cf-***. Whatever. Still showed up, I guess.
@dergreg same here. I was definitely thinking it was too cheap for the cfe’s so I mentally prepared myself in advance for disappointment. But yeah… they finally arrived.
Finally delivered and they’re pretty damn nice.

The reviews on Amazon for both products are concerning. For both they seem to indicate that once those products were relatively heavy but more recent replacement orders resulted in receiving a more flimsy version of it.
@datruandi Surprise!
@datruandi the CFE (E for elite) model was replaced by the lower quality CF version according to the Amazon reviews. Meh lists CFE on the main product description. But CF on the product page. So I would assume they are separate model numbers. It’s really not clear.
If you don’t care about pattern. 65 piece set
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8L2S6M/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_4paTEbX95YG4T
@mlcga note that there are two sets on that link. One is 20 pieces for $35 and is the CFE model number so probably the heavier weight. I assume the 65 piece set for $30 is the lighter weight version of the same pattern. Also per the questions it is not 18/10 but that’s probably the case for all of these.
@unksol the 65 piece is CFE-65TGR, so Elite. And yes, I’m certain none of these are 18/10
Think about this! these coupled with a big set of china and glasses and it’s like 4or 5 days (if you’re coupled) or 8 days you don’t have to rujd the dishwasher. That’ll earn the 30 bucks back in year or two. Plus the roaches will thank you.
@cranky1950 I’ll never rjud my dishwasher again
Nice Cleavage!
@Bumplepimp Oh, that is what the “C” stands for.
Divonne for me! Need new flatware, anyway.
FOUR attempts to figure out which pattern was which. Inappropriate canned responses. I don’t need this much frustration OR the silverware. UGH!
@rnlass Did you cycle through the photos? They were clearly labeled- that’s often where they put that type of information.
@rnlass @sammydog01
I KNOW!!!
Which one is the Tampoux?
hallelujah!! it has just shipped
Still waiting on a ship for mine. I don’t mind a delay, I just don’t want my order to be forgotten
Mine still says that usps is waiting to receive the package
How long do we wait before we can request a refund?
@woodraskam I’m debating that myself. A month now and my order has not moved from “processing.”
So it’s not a shipping delay at this point. I’ve reached out to the support folks again in the hopes of finding out what’s going on.
Got mine today as well. Earlier than I thought after some of the comments, and very nice in person. Worth the minor extra wait.
Mine finally arrived. I like them!
Not even shipped over a month later
Is anyone else still waiting for this? Or am I here all alone again?
Ordered on the 7th, received a shipping notification on the 21st. USPS shows the tracking number is still waiting for them to receive the package.
I know which site I won’t be ordered from again any time soon
