Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed to fit both Koriko and Leopold shaking tins, as well as a wide range of standard and large mixing glasses.
Because of the delicate gold plating, this strainer is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the finish.
The Koriko strainer features a wider body for a more stable fit and a significantly tighter coil. This combination allows for better control and precision when performing a split pour between two glasses.
The coil is designed to be tight for superior straining performance. While it is not intended to be removed frequently, the high-quality 18/8 stainless steel construction makes it durable enough for regular, thorough hand washing.
The base is constructed from heavy-duty 18/8 stainless steel, which is highly durable. While the gold plating provides a premium aesthetic, it requires gentle handling to avoid scratching or fading over time compared to the standard stainless steel version.
