What is included in the Barfly Basics Set?

Five pieces: a full-size shaker, a half-size shaker, a 1 oz. x 2 oz. jigger, a 13-3/16 inch bar spoon and a heavy-duty spring bar strainer. It ships in a color retail gift box.

Is the gold finish real gold?

It is an antique gold-plated finish over an 18/8 stainless steel core. The plating is cosmetic; the steel underneath provides the durability and corrosion resistance.

Can I put the set in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is the safer choice. Dishwasher heat and detergent can dull or wear gold plating over time, while the stainless core itself holds up well.

Is this a good set for a beginner?

Yes. It covers shaking, measuring, stirring and straining in one purchase, which is most of what a home bar needs. You would still want a muddler or citrus press for some recipes.

How does it compare with a four-piece set?

You get an extra half-size shaker and a longer spoon than most basic kits. That makes it more flexible for small and large drinks, but it costs more than a bare-bones starter set.

Does the strainer fit both shakers?

The heavy-duty spring strainer is sized for standard shaker and mixing-glass mouths, so it works with both shakers in the set.
