HIC KitchenBar Japanese-Style Double Cocktail Jigger, 18/8 Stainless Steel, 4.75-Inches, 0.5-Ounce to 2-Ounce

With the pandemic keeping everyone home - I decided to up my cocktail game with some actual tools/gear.I like the capacity and ratio - 2 oz to the lip on the tall side / 1 oz to the lip on the short side and the inside measure marks get you 0.5 oz, 0.75 oz (short) and 1.5 oz (tall).The inside marks are scored around the whole interior - but the measurement in only on one side. These marks (well made) are not going to wear away, but they are kind thin and could be a challenge to read for some people (like me - just sayin').This setup makes it easy to quickly dole out more accurate mixed drinks and I think the more slender/taller Japanese style is easier to hold. 2:1:1 (alcohol, sour, sweet - collins drinks and sours) is like 90% of the drink recipes I make.This supports more traditional single shot measures with the interior marks like:2:1:1 1.50 fl oz 0.75 fl oz 0.75 fl ozand the "better" measures using the lip - 'cause a double is always better, right?2:1:1 2.00 fl oz 1.00 fl oz 1.00 fl ozand it handles the other main ratio fairly well.6:4:3 1.50 fl oz 1.00 fl oz 0.75 fl ozIt is sturdy and well made of think stainless steel - this will last a long time and is so much better than measuring with shot glasses or eyeballing.

I love making unique cocktails at home and this great little measuring cup makes all the weird measurements of the average jigger simply DISAPPEAR!Why? It's because most drink recipes need 1 ounce of this and a 1/2 ounce of that; unfortunately, my jigger has the weird 1.5 ounce measurement and then something close to 1/2 an ounce on the flip side, but it's not even a 1/2 ounce (I measured it more accurately and it was between 1 and 1/2 an ounce).This little drink-tailored measuring cup is molded out of a strong, thick plastic and feels like something the brand OXO would manufacturer (I love OXO's 2-Tablespoon coffee measuring scoop- amazing!) Better yet, the black measurement markings on the outside of this thing aren't needed JUST IN CASE (lol) they ever do come off.This is because the inner levels -- which are molded INTO the cup -- go from 1/2 to 1 to 1-1/2 to 2 ounces. With that simple design, those exterior markings will be useless since you already know what the measurements on this thing are thanks to its great design.Finally, the terrible label everyone complained about is GONE as per my photos of the label having peeled right off by hand. Glad they listened to the reviews and I'm sorry I'll never know the pain of the original label, haha.

I got this jigger the first time as a gift and loved it. I buy it time and time again and highly recommend it. It is an no-spill, accurate and easy to use jigger.

This was purchased as a gift for a bride to be to complete her bar setup. It is by far the best jigger you can buy. I’ve had mine for over 15 years!

These mearures are so easy to read and make for quick drink recipe building. We've bought them for the entire family and have been using for years! Anytime someone visits our bar for the first time, they ask about the shot measure and where to get them. Would be lost behind the bar without. Highly recommend these for your drink making!

It's great; it's very useful for measuring small amounts of liquid incrementally -- for example, I put in half an ounce of juice, add half an ounce of liquid vitamin C, then add the other liquid supplements I take each day. For me, the built-in steps are easier to read than the traditional glass jiggers with lines on them. I don't have to get my eyes down to counter level to read it. Other reviewers are right, though -- removing the label before use will drive you crazy. Just resign yourself to the fact that you will never completely remove the adhesive. Maybe it will wash off eventually. I don't care anymore -- I like this thing and use it every day.

The jigger arrived broken and a new one was sent

I've used three good jiggers over the past few years: This one, the OXO angled (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6LUAPW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the OXO double (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036X4YOG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1).The HIC ties with the OXO double for first place. It is elegant to use, and it's great for a 2 oz. martini (my most common drink), but - unlike the OXO double jigger - it doesn't have a 1/4 oz. or 1/3 oz. measuring line, so it's not great for some other drinks. Yes, I could eyeball those measures, but isn't a jigger for measuring? How hard would it be to include a couple of extra gradations?In sum: This is still a five-star jigger. I haven't encountered a better one, even though I think it could be improved.

Difficile de dire du négatif pour un élément aussi simple

Excelente!

Cumplen muy bien su función, se siente bien calibrado, son de agarre cómodo, se me ha caído por accidente un par de veces y a mí no se me ha roto o despegado. Si lo recomiendo.

This is the second one of this style of jigger we've had, the first one lasted 10 years. so easy to use - we love it.The only complaint is that we couldn't get it in metric measurements

Both elegant and practical, liked that it was easy to read. Most bartenders use that design.
