Pros
- Professional 28+18oz Boston tin set is the same shaker geometry used at every craft cocktail bar in the US
- Bell jigger (1oz/2oz with quarter and half markings) replaces the cheap 0.5/1oz jigger that under-pours every recipe by half
- Included wood stand displays every tool standing up, takes 6 inches of bar cart real estate instead of cluttering a drawer
Cons
- Stainless finish shows water spots; towel-dry after every wash or accept the patina
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same set used in real cocktail bars?
Barfly is the bar-tools line by Mercer Culinary, the same brand whose knives sit in professional kitchens. Working bartenders across the US use the same shaker tins, jiggers, and strainers.
Will the tins fit a Hawthorne strainer?
Yes. The 28oz tin is the standard Boston size that fits any Hawthorne or Julep strainer. The included strainers are the matching size.
Are the tools dishwasher safe?
Tins and metal tools yes. The wooden stand is hand-wash only, wipe clean and oil annually with mineral oil to preserve the finish.
What is the difference between this and a $30 starter kit?
Barfly uses 18-8 stainless that won't dent on first drop. The shaker geometry is sized for two-tin Boston cocktails (the bartender-standard) instead of cobbler-style. The jigger has 6 measurement increments instead of 2.
