  • Our take on the Alessi Boston

    The Alessi Boston is a four-piece stainless steel bar set built around a 16.9 fl oz Boston shaker, with a strainer included. It is designed by Ettore Sottsass and made in Italy, so it is as much a display piece as a working tool. The mirror-polished steel looks sharp on a bar cart, but it shows fingerprints and water spots quickly. It suits home bartenders who want a design name on the shelf and accept hand washing and careful handling.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat the Boston set as a design object first and a tool second. They like the look and the solid feel, but mention that the polished steel needs regular polishing and that the set is short on accessories.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Alessi Boston a full cocktail kit?
    No. It is a four-piece set built around the Boston shaker with a strainer. You still need a jigger, bar spoon and muddler for most recipes.
    Can the shaker go in the dishwasher?
    Hand wash and dry it. Dishwasher heat and detergent dull the polished stainless steel and can affect the fit of the tins.
    How many drinks does the shaker hold?
    The 16.9 fl oz capacity is enough for two to three cocktails per shake, depending on dilution and ice.
    How does it compare with a plain Boston shaker?
    It does the same job as a basic two-tin shaker but adds Italian design and a heavier feel. A plain set costs far less and often includes more tools.
    Who designed it?
    The Boston set is an Ettore Sottsass design for Alessi, made in Italy from stainless steel.
    Does the strainer fit the shaker?
    Yes. The included strainer is sized for the Boston tins and sits over the mouth for pouring.
    Where is the Alessi Boston cheapest?
    At Selfridges, for $290.00, as of our latest check.
