Is this set worth it for a beginner?

Yes, if you want one box that covers shaking, stirring, straining and muddling. A beginner can skip buying tools one at a time. Check the price against buying a shaker, jigger and strainer separately.

Boston or cobbler shaker: which should I pick?

The Boston shaker (28 oz bottom, 18 oz top) is faster to open and preferred by working bartenders. The cobbler shaker has a built-in strainer and is easier for one person to seal and pour.

Can the brass finish go in the dishwasher?

The set is listed as dishwasher safe, but hand washing keeps matte brass from spotting and dulling. Mirror-polished steel handles the dishwasher better.

How many drinks does the 17 oz shaker make?

About one or two cocktails at a time. For four or more drinks, use the 24.6 oz mixing glass for stirred recipes or size up to a larger shaker.

14 pieces, including the mixing glass, shaker, jigger, strainer, bar spoon, muddler and tongs. Confirm the exact list on the store page before ordering, since shaker style changes the count.

Our take on the Deluxe Stainless Steel Bar Tools Set

A 14-piece cocktail kit built around a stainless steel shaker, a 24.6 oz Yarai-style mixing glass, a 1/2 oz jigger, a Hawthorne strainer, a 10 3/4-inch bar spoon, a muddler and tongs. It comes in matte brass or mirror-polished stainless steel and is dishwasher safe. The 17 oz shaker is sized for one or two drinks, not batch work. No current price was provided for this listing, so check the store page for the latest figure.
