Barfly M37005VN Japanese Style Jigger, 1 oz x 2 oz, Vintage

Why do you buy a jigger? So that you can have precision in mixing drinks. There's no other reason, really. This jigger is advertised as "1 oz / 1-1/2 oz ... but what you get is an absurd combination of metric and imperial markers. The small side is marked "3/4 oz" and "1/2 oz", while the larger side is only in metric. Even doing the conversions, the lines are dubious, especially the 3/4 oz line. Plus, the marking on the website photo is "Barfly", while the jiger arrives with a crooked "Mercer Culinary" logo.

The media could not be loaded.  This isn't a very well made Jigger. The metal feels thin and light weight...Just slightly bulkier than a disposable aluminum pie plate. The edges are very crudely and unevenly rolled over, leaving large gaps for moisture and grime to collect. The internal lines are very faint, so in a dark bar it's hard to hit your mark. Overall I don't recommend this jigger. It will work, but for the price there are much MUCH better options on the market. I returned mine and replaced it with the Pina Slim Jigger, so far I'm very happy with that purchase.

The most obvious issue is the fact that it is poorly made and sits noticeably crooked. See photo. I’m not sure how this made it through Quality Control. It uses a combination of imperial and metric measurements, which is difficult to read and not very useful.

I was really looking forward to this jig since it has multiple measure marks on it. I will not use it because if the poor design of the lip of each cup, I found small dead bugs in the fold of the cup.

I have ordered jiggers before that are not actually accurate, causing my drinks to be slightly off. I have measured this jigger with other equipment, and it is almost 100% on point. The material is thick and sturdy, and it looks very good as well. The interior markers are easy to read and easy to clean.

This is a very nice Japanese style jigger and I'm VERY glad I chose this one. I hope the welds that hold the two pieces in place hold up. No reason to this they won't. This is a nicely finished piece with measurements stamped inside and out. Had measurements are on the inside and whole on the outside. I have to wonder what purpose a glass shot glass with no measurement indicators has over a free pour cocktail if you have to measure more than one ingredient for the cocktail. Anyhoo, this is going to make me a Manhattan this weekend. Thanks Barfly.

I like accuracy of the Japanese style jiggers. Mostly if you are using a set of sizes, so that you're going all the way to the top for 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/2, or 2 oz.. the drawbacks are having multiple jiggers to store and clean, and I like the heavier weight of a bell jiggers. Still, these are my go to jiggers.

Best bar jigger I’ve ever used. Great quality and value. I have two and will be buying a couple more for when we entertain and want to do more than one or two kinds of cocktails.

tall enough to flip one handed , with ineer measures for 15ml and 30 ml , just what I wanted , love this now permanent feature to the bar ..

Design is different to the one shown in the photos. No logo, just a very small imprint of text in the metal that says "barfly" at the top.

Very good jigger. Since I bought it it’s the jigger I use the most. Very useful having 4 different measures on it 👌🏼

Value for money very pleased

Sturdy and easy to use! A great addition to any bar!
