Worked great but rusted after the second use

The design of the strainer is great—the coils are perfectly spaced, it snugly into my mixing glass, and liquid doesn't run down the sides when pouring—but mine rusted after the second use, and I didn't do anything crazy with it (I think I made martinis and Manhattans, and it's not like I left them in the liquid or anything like that). Maybe I just got a defective unit, but there are so many other good brands that I returned it and am not going to bother trying again.

Pros
  • 2.4 ounces
Cons
  • The spring may break or become irreparable with extended use and wear

I've liked Barfly products since I got my first one (a very nice jigger). This strainer does not disappoint me. It's a simple device made of stainless steel and a stainless steel spring. The metal base is heavy and feels nice in my hand. The spring is easily removed and replaced for cleaning. It's dishwasher safe. A simple tool for a simple task well done.For me having a cocktail is almost as much about the experience mixing it as it is in my enjoyment drinking it. I like nice bar tools and…

Pros
  • Easy to clean and spring comes off to clean to so that's nice. Definitely recommend
Cons
  • Copper plating may tarnish easily

Great value in my review

Love this strainer! I use it for work and I’ve gotten compliments for it from my colleagues. It’s good value for the price. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • I had one in stainless steel and this just looks incredible
Cons
  • Great product but I should have bought the stainless steel one.

I like the look. in my review

Nice size. Lighter in weight but solid. Quality of the finish, antique copper, especially on the handle is not as good as I expected but overall is fine. I have doubts as to how well the finish will hold up over time but I like the look.

Pros
  • I purchased this to help with clearing crystals and rocks. Works for the desired purchase
Cons
  • The spring may become tangled or damaged with improper storage

Not durable for my opinion

Used this julip strainer for over a year. Dropped it once and it broke. If not for that, it wad a great strainer but can't recommend because of the durability issue.

Pros
  • Never though a strainer was different then another but this is what ualuty stuff
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other strainers made from stainless steel or other materials

Nice dense spring best in my review

Lots of Hawthorne strainers have wire springs so loose you could pass your finger through it easily. That completely defeats the purpose of a strainer. Not this one - the spring is dense and tight and it filters drinks very well. Fits a standard mixing glass snugly and can obviously fit anything wider as well (eg a mixing tin).

Pros
  • Coming from someone who owns a mobile bar company and uses them often
Cons
  • Messy and doesn’t work well.
