Perfect, retro, and solid.

A gift to ourselves for our 21st wedding anniversary, the Barfly Double Walled 550ml (19oz) Shaker Tin was bang on.It has weight and perfect shape for a nice summer Manhattan or leave off the top to stir a yourself a nice martini.The lid includes a silicon seal to nearly prevent leaks and the cap fits tightly.The Barfly double wall is the perfect retro designed tin for any occasion.

Pros
  • Sturdy base prevents spills and adds stability while shaking ingredients
Cons
  • The lid may not fit tightly enough, causing spills during shaking

Perfection! best in my review

Best shaker for a home bar or amateur mixologist! Seals up tight, easy to clean, and plenty of room for ice and beverage alike

Pros
  • Perfect for creating classic and innovative cocktails alike
Cons
  • The shaker may become tarnished over time, making it look unsightly

Happy Hour Time! good for me

I typically drink beer, but I do like a cocktail once in a while. There was this martini that I had on a cruise once and I was making that drink like every weekend for a couple months. I haven't had a shaker since then, so this one was really needed! It works great, nothing fancy or complicated. It makes a great drink and matches with the rest of my stainless kitchen.

Pros
  • Adds a professional touch to any bar, restaurant or hotel bar
Cons
  • The black finish may fade over time with regular use

Well built shaker for all your drinks

I really wanted a parisian style shaker and this one did the job. Note that the mouth opening is wider than standard shakers, so my oxo strainer was too small for it. One upside is that I can put a full size whiskey ice piece and shake cocktails without watering down the drink too much.

Pros
  • Safety lock to prevent spills during shaking
Cons
  • The shaker may become slippery if condensation forms on the sides

Aestically pleasing but poorly designed

Gun metal is a nice color but the seal is a poor fit. This lead to scuffing the rim of the tin as you would struggle to close the shaker. If you don't seal it tightly then you might find the contents leaking out with each shake. Every pour feels risky since I'm so afraid that the top might just pop off and my drink spills everywhere A cheaper shaker that I got with a set works better than this. Try to avoid purchasing their 3-piece shakers

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain, dishwasher safe
Cons
  • The black finish may scratch off if washed with abrasive sponges

Cap Is Extremely Loose, Won't stay On

I really like Barfly products and this is a nice looking and sturdy shaker, but the cap is held on only by gravity, no friction in the fit at all. Every time you pull this thing out of the cupboard the cap is likely to go flying.

Pros
  • Cocktail Shakers
Cons
  • The shaker is not dishwasher safe, which may be inconvenient for some users

great shaker set on my review.

This is a very well made, high quality shaker set. The gun metal is a great look. It's shiny, but not overly so. It mixes well and it is easy to clean. It looks great on my bar set. Overall, I love the look and function.

Pros
  • Sleek, modern design adds sophistication to any home or professional bar
Cons
  • The spout may be too narrow, making it difficult to pour accurately
