Addictively smooth pour!
I work at a newly opened supper club, and all the bar tools were the bare essentials. I picked up this Hawthorne strainer to replace the generic one I've seen at many bars, and I was so pleasantly surprised. The fine coil and weight of this strainer pour so smoothly, it's downright addictive.The first one I bought was actually the teal powder-coated version, which chipped on the first use. I contacted customer service, and they were prompt in addressing the issue. They sent me the full stainless steel version quickly, with no questions asked, other than how to make it right. A+ for quality of build and customer service. American made.

Great USA Made Product
I’m thrilled with this drink strainer. It appeared to be of higher quality compared to other similar options, so I decided to give it a try. The coil compresses effortlessly and fits perfectly into the regular drinking glasses I use to mix margaritas. I highly recommend this product and encourage everyone to invest in this product proudly made in the USA!

Upgrade From my Previous Strainer
First of all, I really do love this strainer. It fits snugly in both my mixing glass and my shaker tins. I love that the coil is densely coiled, so even thin ice chips are held at bay. My previous strainer had a rubberized paint coating both the body of the strainer and the coils, which was cool at first, but became a chipping nightmare, especially when cleaning the coil. I'm very pleased that the coil on this isn't painted so that won't be an issue here. It feels good in my hand and is easy to keep in place when pouring. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about is that there are areas of the purple, shiny paint that arrived with hairline scratches in the finish. Had those shown up a year or more into use I may not have minded, but brand new out of the box it should be pristine. So I did deduct one start from my rating for that. I imagine this is less of an issue on their more matte or speckled finishes, but I can't be sure since I only have the purple one. It's still a lovely color, stands out in my bar area and works perfectly, so overall I'm happy.

I like the strainer design a lot, but the copper patinas far too quickly
Updated 11/18/24:After a handful of uses, the strainer is starting to get a patina. While pretty for decorations, that's not ideal for food prep. It's also the first bar product of all my copper items that has done this. While I still highly recommend the strainer for Its form and function, I do NOT recommend the copper. Downgrading my rating from 5 to 3 (5 for the strainer use and design, 1 for the Copper finish, 3 averaged).**Previous review below**I’ve owned and used a lot of Hawthorne strainers over the years but never had a favorite before this Bull in China one.The strainer’s quality, both in materials and build, is very good. The weight is nicely balanced, and the top grip tab makes the strainer easy to hold in place and use while also holding and pouring my shaker one-handed.The coils are particularly nice on this Hawthorne. There are more of them than most, which keeps them closer together, and they compress well, so they can fit into smaller or larger shaker options with ease. They also trap more, keeping fragmented ice and other small items (like citrus seeds and pulp) from cocktails, and unlike some Hawthornes, the coils don’t slip off because the track where they’re attached is closed-ended.Despite the tightness of the coils, I find cleanup to be a breeze with this. It seems to release the stickier cocktail ingredients without scrubbing (I always rinse my Hawthorne’s immediately after use and wash them after mixing for the night), and maintains its shine once dry.Finally, the copper color is beautiful and matches my other copper barware items perfectly.This is a great strainer. It’s exactly what I wanted and works perfectly for me.

Stylish and Functional
This solid Brass Hawthorn Strainer works as perfectly as it should. Its a classic design that offers excellent function and style. As a bartender I have used a lot of strainers. The Hawthorn is my go to. I really like that this one is a little heaver than its steal counterparts. I has a real vintage quality feel and fits my astatic. I would recommend it.Item came in professional and minimal packaging and was as described and shown in pictures.
