Makes a world of difference and is indescructible
I ordered this after I got sick of using a fine mesh strainer alongside my crummy free hawthorne strainer to keep out ice chips. To my delight, this does a very good job at keeping out those pesky small ice chips without having to whip out extra equipment!Just for that I think the cleaning process is justified. It's relatively easy to just pull off the spring and wash it separately, just don't lose the spring. I have ordered a second spring from barfly to double up on this strainer, which is what I did with the old hawthorne I had. The main reason I got this one is the greater control on pours, whether you want to do so gated, partially gated, or open, its so easy you dont even have to think about it.

Not cheap, but worth it
I got the gold one. Quality is immediately recognizable, as it's a bit thicker than the bargain versions, and the springs are tighter together meaning that they will capture more ice chips, pulp, etc. Fits onto a mixing glass with a satisfying "thwap", and you can pour confidently knowing it will stay put. It's going to cost you more than a cheap one, but if you've got the money and are serious about your mixology hobby, i think you will really be happy. Range of colour choices is great too.

Excellent, highly durable, and attractive strainer
I bought this Classic Hawthorne strainer from Barfly to replace a lesser quality julep strainer and I am beyond happy with the purchase. This replaced a julep strainer with a weak weld between the handle and the bowl which broke when I was shaking off excess water. I never have to worry about the Barfly strainer breaking. This is one solid piece of metal, no weld at all! It fits into all of my mixing glasses and shaker tins. It is functional and beautiful. I'd highly recommend this product.
