Excellent shaker/jigger package
The jigger: Wow, seriously impressed with the quality and finish considering the price range of the whole package. A 60ml external line with 30/45ml internal, and a 30ml external with 15ml/20ml internal mean that you can tackle a huge amount of recipes without any guesswork or additional jiggers. One of the nicest features is the rim around the edges which makes cleaning completely risk free of cut fingers/hands. The weight and balance for rotating and tipping is perfect in my opinion.The shaker: Again a surprise for its price range. The quality here is also high. The fit is as expected and easy release without any problems. Feels good in hand with a great balance. The smooth finish inside is worth noting as there has been good attention to detail and quality control. Everything packaged well as a set in its own cardboard box, well wrapped and protected for transit (see pics) I would say this is an ideal set if you are just starting out, it’s well worth it. And also perfect for your first Boston to add to an existing cocktail-kit.

Nice quality but imperfect design in my opinion
This is a nice quality shaker and jigger - the jigger is especially nice. The shaker is good but the smaller cup is not that much smaller than the larger cup, so fitting them together isn't as quick and easy as other shakers I have used. I think it is far preferable when there is a significant size difference between the big and small cup - it's especially easier when it comes to removing the cups from each other after shaking.My biggest gripe by far is also a really small one - that the 'ANFLY' logo is etched on the base. It is shown in the pictures to be fair, but I missed it when ordering. It just makes the item feel a little bit cheaper and less premium to have a random no name brand logo etched on it. At least it is on the base and not on the side!Overall, still pretty good quality for the money - do note that there is no strainer included however which is a rather critical addition for just about any cocktail.

Good quality cocktail shaker
The cocktail shaker is made of fairly thin polished stainless steel and is of a good quality. The only downside is the polished metal is a fingerprint magnet, but easily cleaned. The two halves fit together to create a waterproof (alcohol proof!!) seal for shaking. They are then easy to separate. The added advantage is that by turning the lid upside down it stores neatly inside the body - very neat.The jigger is made of much thicker metal and is double sided. One side is 60ml with 30 and 45ml marked inside. The other side is 30ml with 15 and 20ml on the inside. The internal marking are quite faint to read but there is a line all the way around. Curiously the jigger isn't quite symmetrical as though the two cups haven't been joined together squarely - this doesn't affect it though.

Maybe designed more for bar use than home
A cocktail shaker is something that everyone should have at home. The traditional style with a top and cap is probably what most people will have. This is more professional barman than home user though as it's a double cup style.The shaker itself is good. Decent quality and works well. Being dishwasher safe keeps my wife happy too. I can't fault the shaker at all.I'm not sure about the jigger though. It doesn't feel as good as the shaker. I'm not convinced that a jigger is necessary for home users anyway. In all the time I've been making cocktails at home (30+ years) I've never once measured the alcohol. If you're in a bar and measures matter, then yes, but at home, slop in the alcohol to your desired amount. Single, double, triple, who cares? you're drinking it and you're paying for the alcohol.

5 Shaken not stirred stars.
I've been a bartender for around a decade now, and with the global lockdowns and restrictions, everyone has been getting much more creative with their parties. I used this shaker for a few events now to mix up cocktails and I am very impressed with it. Very easy to clean, the measure was a great little addition. I do a bit of Flare as well, so the weight was perfect for helping bring the party atmosphere with a few of my Tom Cruise Cocktail moves. It went over a hit at the 30th birthday party I mixed drinks for at the weekend and it washs and stores away very easily.I am very happy with this purchase. I would reccommend for a bar or for those who like mixing up their own drinks at home.

Proper shaker with a classic look
Was very impressed with this shaker. It arrived well packaged and in great condition. Right out of the box it looks very smart, smooth and simple lines and without fuss - exactly how a Boston shaker should be. The measure is good, again looks smart on the bar or drinks cupboard and after a quick measure mine was very accurate.As always with a Boston shaker practice makes perfect so I'd advise a few trial runs with water outside if you aren't used to it. Getting the seal right is not hard but can catch you out.All in all this is a very smart shaker for a few home cocktails.

Professional quality.
The cocktail shaker is made from thick, shiny stainless steel, as is the jigger.The pieces look smart, are easy care and most importantly of all work.The two “cans” go together to form a leak proof join, which can still be easily opened to pour the drink, they have lots of room within them for the liquids to swirl around and mix/chill.The jigger gives proper size portions with a 30 ml or 60 ml option and the set is shiny and smart, so looks great on the bar.

Feel like a professional bar tender now
Measuring cup and mixer in two halves. Made of strong metal and volume enough to make two large cocktails with ice. Nice for parties and general showing off cocktail making skills.
