Know before you buy
The shorter handle provides a more compact profile, making it easier to maneuver and store. It is particularly useful if you prefer a tighter grip or have limited space in your bar kit.
Yes, the high-quality steel spring is designed to expand and contract, ensuring a snug, stable fit on both standard mixing glasses and the tins of a Boston shaker.
The spring coil is tightly wound to effectively trap ice and larger fruit particles. While it provides a smooth pour, you may want to use a fine-mesh tea strainer afterward if you are making drinks that require a double-strain for ultra-fine debris.
The main difference is the handle length. This model features a shorter handle, which offers a different balance and footprint compared to the longer, more traditional handle found on the Baron series.
While it is made of durable stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying it immediately to maintain the finish and prevent water spots. Avoid harsh scouring pads to keep the surface pristine.
