A Bar Above Premium Japanese Jigger with 8 Measurements Inside - Rolled Lip, Double Jigger for Bartending & Measuring Cocktails - Professional & Heavy-Duty 304 Stainless Steel Cocktail Jigger 1oz/ 2oz

Even though I already own a Japanese jigger--it came with a bar set I purchased roughly 9 months ago--I still purchased this one because I specifically wanted a jigger with 1/4 oz increments in it. I am very happy with that feature. However, the lines are VERY difficult to see in practice, which makes this not the most user-friendly of jiggers. The "black" finish is more grey than black, at least when compared side-by-side to the jigger I already own; but it is also noticeably heavier than the other jigger, too, so I think it passes the "heavy-duty" claim. I purchased this jigger during a Black Friday special, and I still thought it was overpriced even then. I could have overlooked that if this jigger had met my expectations, but it didn't. I bought the jigger solely for the 1/4 oz increments, but the gradient lines are difficult to see/use, and that leaves me rather disappointed with the product overall. Hence, the 4-star rating.

It’s good

This handy item has already helped me in the perfection process of several of my personal favorite drinks for my at-home bar.

I would love to give this item a 5 star but it is described as black and it is actually more of a dark gray or smoke color

I’ve spent years guesstimating amounts while making mixed drinks when the proportions were not exactly an ounce or two. Now, I can measure in quarter ounce increments accurately. Also, the jigger is aesthetically pleasing and looks durable. I’ve had a few rust because of the way they were formed and the junction of the two sides. That will not happen with this one.
