The Easy Jigger® is a measure designed for use when making cocktails, primarily in the home but also by professional bartenders. It has a unique design...
I have had mine for quite a while now. I love it. The only problem is that the red on the markings has now faded to a light pink color. Getting much harder to read. I will have to replace it soon. Since I am in Europe, the post-Brexit import costs make it prohibitive to buy another one from the UK (or anywhere outside the EU actually). Too bad.
Thanks for the info. My wife is going to the States shortly. I will order a couple from Amazon. (I am assuming that they are selling the updated model. Is that a correct assumption?)
In a previous comment I lamented the lack of a 22.5ml line, a commonly specified volume. However, I realised last night that I can just turn it around and use the 3/4 oz mark instead. ??
Been looking for something like this for a while and it looks perfect, shame it's not distributed in Australia yet. Not willing to spend $50 for it on Amazon
Hi Asher, you'll be able to purchase an Easy Jigger directly from Difford's Guide Australia really soon. Our first shipment has arrived in the country and we 're just working on the final logistics to make it available for sale.
Just indispensable. I bought the easy jigger more out of curiosity as "it was probably not going to be of any use to me given my superb collection of nice shiny metal jiggers." In the end... after a week... my great collection of metal jiggers ended up in the cupboard and I only use the easy jigger because it's easier, faster and more accurate. If one day there is a version 2, it would be nice to coat the inside with a food grade UV clear coat so that the sugar syrups flow better.
Agreed re 22.5ml but easily to estimate between 20ml and 25ml. I also wanted a 35ml but there's a limit to how many measures could be fitted in without sacrificing the oz option on the other side.
I've been using one for around 18 months now and while it's great for the measurements and it being clear helps, over the time the magnet at the bottom has rusted and warped the plastic slightly. It's doesn't stand very straight any more for how much I've used it it's good wear and tear. The bottom of the liquid holding part has some stains which are difficult to get to but honestly, it's my go to jigger. Great piece of kit
I had the same problem with stains on the bottom and sides of small volumes. The solution is a little washing up liquid plus boiling water and scrape with a small brush usually supplied with the metal straws and it goes away. Once a month use a 10% white vinegar solution to improve transparency.
