1.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, Horrible Product, January 31, 2008

This is a great idea. The most common mixing measurements in one convenient tool, and have them all labeled. I applaud the creator's ingenuity, but this ends being a horrible product. Using the smaller measures requires a perfectly level surface, and the surface tension of liquids makes accurate measuring exceptionally dicey. Lifting something shallow filled with liquid is difficult, and pouring anything out of this ends with the liquid running down the side and making a mess.

I love a jigger with labeled measurements, and more having more options is great, but I can't recommend this product to anyone. The mess it leaves behind isn't worth it. Don't buy this.

This review is from: Kikkerland Jigger Cube (Kitchen)

As a bar tool, this is not the best measuring device. As a conversation piece, it is an excellent choice.

First, a few notes on the actual piece:

1. It is bigger than you might imagine. When you think of anything else that measures a shot you think of a thimble sized glass. This is about the size of a Rubiks Cube.

2. It is much heavier than you might expect. It feels like it is milled out of solid aluminum.

As a result of its size and weight, it like holding a small, metal engine part: somewhat awkward in the hand, but beautifully made. It is also meant to be poured from the corner, much like a traditional wooden box for drinking sake upon which the design is based. But because the measurements are meant to fill liquid to the top and it is square, actually lifting up and pouring it without spilling poses something of a challenge. A work around is to use the next bigger size measurement and not fill it all the way up (eg, the 1.25 oz side to measure out 1 oz). Obviously this means you are approximating your measurements, but if you are mixing a drink being particularly accurate with your measurements is less important than the quality of the liquor or the company.

On that note, I would say that the piece is an outstanding conversation piece. Its size, clunkiness, and clean industrial design all add to the coolness of mixing a drink. Definitely gets people talking. In fact, I left it on my desk at the office for a few days after receiving it and no one could walk in without picking it up. Probably couldn't say the same for just a glass the size of a thimble emblazoned with your old college or favorite bar on it.

Five stars for cool; one star for pure functionality. Split the difference and you get three.

Cheers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome 6 in 1 tool for the bar! Looks sweet., January 26, 2011

Been flair bartending for quite awhile now. I wanted a jigger that looked cool with some flash and pizazz. Couldn't argue with a shiny metal cube. Throw this sucker in the air, catch it, pour your liquid into it, then dump it into your glass.

Yes, you have to be careful about pouring, but it's not bad like everyone else on here is making it to be.

This thing is just too fun. Get one, you won't be disappointed.
