Today We review the Elevated Craft Shaker Marius found on Indiegogo. They raised an impressive 2.5 Million Dollars to produce their shaker which is really impressive. We also take the opportunity to go through the history of shaker design and how the Elevated Craft Shaker has approached improving that design.

We found a better explanation of the measuring cup. So it does have half measures. But it is a little confusing, but if you memorize them it might make sense... tinyurl.com/elevatedmeasures

@justinkendrick3929 3 года назад

I think the idea is that the line over the 1oz is 0.75oz, but all the others are half oz points. So, the line over 2oz is 1.5oz, the one over 3oz is 2.5oz, etc.

@HLR4th 3 года назад

I own one of these but like a typical guy didn’t read the directions! Thanks for the link/graphic. If one needs directions to read a measure, it may not be intuitive. I will have to pay more attention to my measuring cup graphics, etc in the future.

@greenmarcosu 3 года назад

@@aces1091 The cobbler shaker is not great at straining compared to a springed strainer. Also, the lid on the cobbler shakers I had used tended to either not fit tight enough or get stuck. I never had one that was just right. The boston shaker (just the bottom large metal cup plus a sturdy glass pint glass) stays together better but also comes apart easier. The boston also gives you more internal space to get a better shake if you are working with a double cocktail which I often do when I am making cocktails for myself and my partner.

@leoschultz9046 3 года назад

From what I have seen of Japanese bartenders, which is one area of the world where the cobbler shaker is actually the professional choice, they flip it over and continue to shake it from side to side as it drains, which keeps the ice moving and helps the cocktail flow out quickly. I bought a really nice cobbler shaker just to give it a try, since they are so popular in Japan, and they have such a serious cocktail scene, I figured there had to be something to it. After trying it out at home and at work for a month or so, I decided that it definitely wasn't the device for trying to make drinks quickly and efficiently, but that it could have a certain elegance when you are taking your time, and making cocktails is nothing if not a bit of edible theatre. It lives at home now for when I feel lazy and leave me tools at work so I have something nice to shake in at home for myself or a friend. As for this shaker, it seems nice, though I would have liked to see some fluting or gnurling to help untwist the parts, and I have never been a fan of insulated shakers since it dulls the feel of what I am shaking, both from a temperature perspective, and my ability to listen to the cocktail and as the ice breaks up. Not for me, but I am sure it will make lots of people happy.

@MDCarver1980 3 года назад

If you have 100g of Ice and 100g of Liquid Water, the Liquid Water will occupy a smaller volume. So in a tight container, when Ice Melts the volume reduces, since liquid does not change volume due to pressure, but gas does, the air inside the shaker expands to compensate for the lower non-gas volume. This creates disequilibrium between the inside and outside of the shaker in regards to volume. It’s not quite a vacuum, but the pressure inside the shaker has decreased to so much lower than the pressure outside the shaker that without some sort of carburetor, the outside Air Pressure is making it more difficult to remove the lid from the shaker because the pressure inside the Shaker has dropped considerably due to the expanding gasses compensating for melting solids that are far less dense than in their liquid form.

@ElevatedCraft 3 года назад

Our advice is to always "burp" the pressure with by twisting the small lid before unscrewing the large measuring top. If you are using the Elevated Craft Shaker with a hawthorne strainer this is an important step when there is a lot of heat exchange happening. @ScorpioDan 80 - your explanation about negative pressure also just made me realize that when you dry shake egg whites you are creating positive pressure from the aerating the egg whites. When dry shaking egg whites, we've always told people to burp the small lid also. The whole "burping" step is not relevant if you are just shaking and pouring through the strainer but using the small lid as a pressure release is a key reason people use the Elevated Craft Shaker in addition to the Boston. You can't "burp" a boston shaker so when dry shaking egg whites a lot of home bartenders have exploding tins. Cheers - Adam Craft

I always thought the reason for the cobbler shaker in stores was that it was easier for those getting started without any advice to not mess it up when trying it.

@LeTopShelf 3 года назад

Great review as always! I was one of the early backers and I'm really liking it even though I still prefer my Boston shakers for most applications. I love the double wall insulated design for when I make cocktails to go. I fill it all the way up, screw it shut, toss it in a bag and still ice cold cocktails to serve when I reach my destination several hours later. I tend to use the measuring cup top as a drinking glass. For professional bartenders, I don't really see that many of them adopting it. The Boston shaker is faster, more effective and easier to clean but, I think this is the perfect shaker for the amateur home bartender who doesn't want to deal with technique and the mess they can sometimes create.

@ElevatedCraft 3 года назад

Thank you for being an early backer! The EC shaker is specifically designed for home bar use and batching cocktails to go just as you described. Pros have noted that it is really good for egg white recipes but in the US, the efficiency of the tin on tin in a commercial bar makes sense. Cheers

I was also an early backer during the campaign. I like that it does not spill my beverage or get my hands cold while I am shaking. The company states that the shaker is dishwasher safe, but I would be reticent to put something with a rubber gasket in the dishwasher. I have been handwashing my elevated craft shaker, which is the only thing that prevents me from using it more often. As for the built-in jigger, I have never seen a use for it given that so many cocktails call for quarter ounce aliquots.

@MalcolmDrood 3 года назад

I bought one of those for myself out of curiosity. Personally, I think it works great as a home bar shaker/jigger. Quieter, not cold, versatile. When I tried to use it during service (especially a busy one) it was a hard no go. Breaking it down fully to rinse between drinks was a pain, there’s a reason the Boston shaker is king behind the bar. Although, it does have its place if (god forbid) you have to make a Ramos and it works well shaking multiples of the same drink together too.

I shifted to this one from using the Boston shaker and don’t even want to look back (the Boston shaker was getting stuck, the surface was getting super cold, and some other cons like spilling a little bit when pouring. None of this happens with the Elevated Craft shaker). Also, the jigger has so much capacity that often times you can add all the ingredients at once, and it’s accurate! I know some people say it’s not accurate, well, mine is. It also looks good and feels very high quality.

@roebucksruin 3 года назад

Professionally, I prefer a Boston, but there's something really satisfying about man handling a small, well-made cobbler shaker. Over the past year, I picked up a Birdy 3-piece, which arrived with a perfect fit. I also picked up a couple of etched cobblers from AliExpress that arrived tight and required a little sanding for a proper fit. I could see them being used in a professional environment, but definitely not volume service.

@theaterobscura 3 года назад

Awesome thumbnail! For some reason, I do associate the cobbler shaker with a sort of mid-century elegance. Movies maybe? I'd use a cobbler if I were making drinks in a sunken living room while wearing a lounge jacket, but I don't have any of those things, so I use a Boston.

@MrtinVarela 3 года назад

The air inside of the shaker is still temperate as you close it. During shaking the air is cooled down by the ice together with the mixture. The cooled air generates less pressure than ambient and this difference produces the slight vacuum when you try to open it.

@pantera6 3 года назад

@cdsprech 3 года назад

Leandro, I think you're definitely right about the vacuum. I notice in my boston style shaker, there's quite a bit of liquid stuck in the small tin immediately after shaking that drains into the bigger tin only once I break the seal. Like a really thick layer of liquid lining the sides of the small tin. Also, I wonder how much the metal shrinks onto the lid of the cobbler because it got so cold.

@ElevatedCraft 3 года назад

The type of ice and pouring angle play a big part in how well it pours. We've found that when using softer ice that breaks up easily, a hawthorne strainer is best. If you are using larger hard ice and pour at a 45 then the flow comes out like you'd expect without the "glug glug" that happens when there is not enough air flow. If you have a full shaker and turn it vertical then almost nothing will come out which is a fun physics thing (air lock?) that I'm sure someone in the comments can describe better than me ;-).

@eyesdontsee 3 года назад

The science behind the expansion and contraction of metal is very real, car pistons are sized down to like the 1000th of an inch to allow for the same expansion and contraction of the metal so that it still allows the oil to slide past and lubricate, sorry if that babbling is hard to understand I’m autistic and not the best at explaining things

Been using this for about 5 months now. I do like it quite a bit, but I still find myself reaching for the Boston when I do anything with egg whites. My favorite feature is the insulation - if I'm making the same cocktail all night, I like that I can put the top on it and keep the ice cold, and not have to be swapping out ice all night. I've left the thing 3/4 full with ice overnight and it has stayed completely intact through to the next morning. Obviously when making drinks there will be some dilution, but your shaking ice goes a long, long way with this thing.

@urouroniwa 2 года назад

Once again commenting on old videos :-) I've just gotten into cocktails really recently. I wanted a shaker, but they aren't really that easy to get in rural Japan where I live. However, I had this stainless steel screw top container from a brewery that holds about 600 ml. They were selling them with the idea that you would go to the brewery and buy a pint of beer and take it home. Unfortunately, they forgot to actually check the liquor laws and got shut down :-) (Very rare case of ignoring rules in Japan!). But I thought, "Hey, I'll give that a try". It's awesome. As a beginner, I love the screw top. It just makes everything much easier. The only real downside is that it doesn't have in integrated strainer and the mouth of the container isn't really shaped to accept a hawthorn strainer (if I could even find one). But I dump everything in a hand held tea strainer and... I don't really see much advantage to double straining. The tea strainer catches everything and if I'm going to do it anyway... Of course, the ice ends up in the strainer, but it's not actually a problem, as far as I can tell. Probably some day I'll look back on this and mock my caveman naivety, but for now, I'm making cocktails :-) Keep going back in time and pumping out those old videos! I'm learning lots and having a great time!!!

@Javic167 3 года назад

The anormality of water is that its density lowers by getting colder, every other substance will improve density by getting colder. At 3°C water has its biggest density and by getting colder it expands. When freezing (0°C) it reaches its lowest density of its liquid and solid form (of course steam has a way lower density than ice or water). So when the ice inside the shaker melts by absorbing the kinetic energy of the molecules of the tin, booze and juices (2nd theorem of thermo dynamics, heat allways goes from hot to cold [at least when there are "many" molecules, which is basicly allways the case, unless you work at Cern lol]) and by that increases its density or otherwerwise said, it decreases its volume by melting, which results in less airpreassure inside the tin (next to cooling the air, so the gas molecules lose kinetic moving energy and expand less, but that is less significant than the melting ice) which means the sorrounding airpreassure is higher than the preassure inside of the tin, pressing the shaker together. It is the same effect as why a vacuum holds to tins or whatever together, but vacuum means there is nothing inside there (no air, no molecules or atoms, mostly we call anything that's close to a vacuum vacuum cauze doing a perfect one is nearly impossible). I hope that is understandable, I covered the very basics you need to know in regards to why a shaker sticks together after shaking.

@andrews3137 Год назад

This may have been explained, as this video is two years old (and I'm just a nerdy layman, so I may have miscalculated or be incorrect somewhere)... In addition to any size change in the shaker itself from cooling, as the ice melts, its volume of water takes up approximately 8.3% less volume. At the same time, as the liquid and air cool down, they also reduce in volume (volumetric temperature expansion coefficient: ethanol ≈ 0.00061/°F; water ≈ 0.000174/°F; dry air [disregarding humidity and condensation] ≈ 0.00205/°F), creating a vacuum. So, if a room temperature shaker has 3.5 fl oz of 30% ABV room temperature liquid pre-dilution, and after shaking has a dilution of 25% and a liquid temperature of 32°F, you can expect a vacuum to build. The phase change of the ice alone would reduce the volume of the contents by approximately 0.8 fl oz, the original liquid by 0.04 fl oz, and the air (if started with 20 fl oz of air) would be reduced by 1.6 fl oz. I believe this would result in around a 7% vacuum for a full-size Boston shaker.

@ElevatedCraft 3 года назад

Thank you Chris. The type of ice you are shaking with will make a huge difference. If you are using the automatic ice a freezer pumps out then it is likely soft and will crush. My freeze has a setting called "fast ice" which for cocktail purposes = soft ice. Best practice is to find a good source of hard ice. My local grocery store has a brand called "crystal ice". I snag a bad of any time they have it. It's basically 1x1 hard cubes. Otherwise, using ice trays is a good alternative and just letting them freeze over a long period of time.

@MongolTier7 3 года назад

7:18 for me it looks like a midway point between two measurements. If the bottom line is 0,5oz and the upper line is 1oz then the marking is at 3/4oz. If the bottom is 30 and the upper is 60, the marking is 45. I would just use a traditional jigger but if someone doesn't have any bar equipment I can see how this shaker may be a good investment on its own.

@mrjoeyorton 3 года назад

The lids don't get stuck on cobbler shakers entirely due to a vacuum, they get stuck as the metal contracts and then expands as it heats up again at different rates. Now the seal that keeps the drink in is the vacuum, hence why a boston shaker with a glass pint glass works. But over lots and lots of cooling and reheating the cobbler shakers top deforms a bit and things get wonky and they get stuck more often then not. My cobbler the top always gets stuck but not the "cap" so I can open it break the vacuum and get the drink out but can't open it all the way.

@WhiskeyMike47 3 года назад

I like my Elevated Craft shaker, except for one thing. If you get anything sticky on the rim where the top and bottom halves join, it can be stupid hard to unscrew since the surface of the metal is smooth and doesn’t have any kind of texture to increase your grip.

@TaberIV Год назад

My parents have this shaker, and making a few drinks with it at a family party I found untwisting the cap repeatedly made for a good amount of strain on my hand. It never got stuck compared to a regular cobbler, but I would be uncomfortable using it regularly.

@sumyupee 3 года назад

It does have a half ounce measures between the ounces. There's a line above OZ which denotes half ounces. It also has 3 quarter ounce measures at the bottom, up to the strainer and then to the first ridge, and then the first half line above the 1oz. I still prefer using a jigger with .25 measurements because you can add them to the cocktail in any order, whereas you're stuck with adding them first with the shakers incorporated jigger. For shaking cocktails, I think it works great especially for warm or hot cocktails. I do wish the strainer holes were a little bigger, or the mouth was a little wider because it does have a tendency to get clogged with certain drinks, but luckily you can always unscrew it and strain it with separate strainers. I do think it is functionally superior to a Boston shaker for certain things but if you're used to Boston shakers you're going to have to use it a lot to get used to it.

This is almost unavoidable when the entirety of your cocktail has to come out through such a small opening. There's no room for air to escape on one side. If you had a cap that was the diameter of the Parisian shaker, and nearly that entire surface area was a pour spout and filter, it would probably work a lot better. Ah, you say: but then you can't use the cap as a measuring device because it's too big. But I assure you, you can. Off to go create my competing design now... 😆

All material "shrinks" when getting cold, some more then others, it depends on the material. Physically there are two things happeing when shaking to get stuff cold: The metal itself gets cold, "shrinking" the tins/parts itself, possibly making them a tigther fit. Also the Air inside the shaker is "shrinking", creatund a low preasure environment that literally sucks the parts of the shaker together.

The science: frozen water takes up more space than liquid water due to its crystalline structure. As you shake a cocktail some of that ice melts and takes up less space, creating a vacuum.

Thanks for the review. I suppose if I didn’t already have a cobbler shaker I might get this, but I’ll probably pass. Side note, as a Chicagoan I appreciate the Malort tee shirt.

@blackt-shirtcocktail1931 3 года назад

It seems interesting for beginners since you don't need jigger, strainer... But do you think we could find it behind a cocktail bar soon ? The fact that you have to screw and unscrew it all the time makes me think that using it could slow down the way we work, don't you think ? But I might be afraid of change too ;)

@Jeremy-kg1zr 3 года назад

It'll certainly never be behind the bar of a business, if that's what you're talking about. Far too much time for a busy place to use, and the little cap makes for much more difficult cleaning.

I recently bought this Parisienne shaker 700ml from Barfly. I love it but my old strainer didn’t fit... way to lose. What hawthorne strainer would fit the Parisiene 700ml shaker well/snug? Since I already bought a new hawthorne strainer where the coils don’t fit snug enough either. It’s a large 9,5cm hole to fit into

@ericktellez7632 2 года назад

I seem to be in the minority here, I started with the regular cheap cobbler shaker and eventually improved the quality of the shakers until I reached my preferred shaker, the boston shaker. It’s so versatile and it never gets stuck. I don’t see the need of a built in strainer when I have dozens of strainers at my disposal.

@bermei5187 3 года назад

Been using a cobbler shaker for a while since it's just what I have and recently the strainer bit has been coming off the top after shaking because apparently it's just wedged in there as a separate piece. Another reason to not favor the cobbler shaker.

@Cocktailnyymi 3 года назад

IMHO the reason more and more are using the boston version (me included), is that with the glass part you can _actually see_ what is/n't in the drink already. If you get distracted you could use the glass for visual help. Isn't the same with a full steel cobbler one. And yeah, the sticking of the cap of a cobbler shaker...never again :D

@odiec5567 3 года назад

I definitely prefer my Boston Shaker for most all drinks except stirred or drinks I have to dry shake, which makes less of a mess with a cobbler (for my inexperienced hands). I would imagine the Boston Shaker is preferred on how quick it is to clean and how you don't have to fight to separate it. Also, just guessing, but I imagine "designers" use the cobbler to avoid needing to include a Hawthorne strainer in their cocktail sets.

It makes about the same amount of dilution as a regular shaker would I’m sure it keeps things colder longer which isn’t necessarily a plus

@DaCake2 6 месяцев назад

I really hate this shaker. The fact they made it screw on is absolutely terrible. Cobbler shakers already take more time, and now it will take you even more time cause you have to screw it on and off. Also, I agree with you about the insulation being a disadvantage. I actually like to gauge the temperature of my cocktails when I'm shaking. Great video as always!

on the plus side the screw top helps prevent it from seizing which it can with friction fitting

@bobschiller6435 3 года назад

I own a cobbler shaker and I find the biggest problem with it is dry shaking with an egg white. The white gets hung up in the strainer and doesn't produce the desired froth.

@gabrieletesio6848 3 года назад

The backup of the large gasket is kind of a random thing we throw in because our manufacturer started doing it and we haven't told them to stop . In reality the shaker and gaskets are meant to last a lifetime but we keep a stock of replacement parts in case of accidents and we just do whatever we need to keep you shakin'.

Ideal gas law, pressure is proportional to temperature. Ice, cools contents, pressure decreases and you experience a "vacuum"

@Javic167 3 года назад

That is only a part of the truth, more significant should be the massive density increase of ice by changing to its liquid form water. If you put freezing cold rocks inside your shaker you may have a sealing, but not as extreme as with ice cubes.

@chedzeesheeda1019 3 года назад

@@Javic167 To be fair though, you're realistically never going to have rocks that can sink as much heat as melting ice. That melting point transition is a doozy and a half, plus the media being relatively consistent between cocktail and ice (as well as ice becoming less centralized as a heat sink as you go) means you'll have a more even, consistent transfer boundary with the air in the tin with a fairly brief shake.

@Javic167 3 года назад

@@chedzeesheeda1019 sure the energy needed to get ice to change from solid to liquid is way higher than the energy needed to heat the ice to 0°C or to heat up the water. You would need to take a lot of rocks and just a view ice cubes to compare it to each other, but I was just mentioning the rocks to make clear that the voloume change from ice to water is extrem compared to the cooling air.

@stephend50 3 года назад

@@Javic167 the thermal capacity of water is higher than rocks. Also, transition of ice to water will reduce volume. Ice is less dense and has more volume for a given amount of water. At least under the conditions one would drink a cocktail

@Javic167 3 года назад

@@stephend50 you are actually just saying what I was illustrating with a shaker with ice and one with rocks. I made the rocks example to show that the higher density of water compared to ice, will create an under preassure in the tin that is not accomplished with sth else as an coolant, just by cooling the air and liquids in the shaker and there for reducing the overall voloume.

@UnclePete 3 года назад

I like to feel the temperature and know when it is cold. I could be wrong, but I think if something is inside an insulated container, it won't melt as quickly. Wouldn't the ice fail to cool the drink as much if the shaker is insulated? I think that is what Dave Arnold would say. Anyhow. I'll stick to my boston shaker.

@ElevatedCraft 3 года назад

Dave Arnold's published a great experiment over 10 years ago that showed max chill happens after 12 -15 seconds of shaking and everything after is for adding texture. Basically the contents inside the shaker have reached equilibrium. With a single wall shaker, after max chill (which = predictable dilution) you are then heating up the contents via your hand and the outside environment so the results become less predictable. Pro bartenders have this dialed in but if you are shaking and its hot outside or if you are a home bartender then dialing in the dilution is a wild card. With the Elevated Craft Shaker, you still get the essential ice dilution due to the transfer of heat from the room temperature alcohol (or any liquid) to the ice, however, you will not over-dilute your cocktail on a hot day because the internal temperature of the shaker is constant. With the Elevated Craft Shaker, the ice becomes an ingredient that you can predictably dial in depending on the amount of dilution you want. For example, we use large ice for less dilution and small ice if we want more dilution.

@UnclePete 3 года назад

@@ElevatedCraft Cool. It sounds like the main advantage to this is that the ice won't melt too quickly on hot days.

@peterpatrician 3 года назад

I’ve always wondered the purpose of making it insulated. I suppose keeping your hands from getting cold could be nice for some people, but it’s not a design flaw with a traditional tin. There’s a function and purpose to no insulation. I can’t see this being a big reason. Is it really to keep a cocktail cold for 1 to 24 hours? After shaking, you are straining into a glass. So unless you made too much to fit in your glass, there’s no benefit to having an empty insulated thermos. And I wouldn’t think leftover cocktail, though kept cold and insulated, would be good even 30 minutes later. But maybe it wouldn’t dilute as fast? (I suppose if you did leave liquid in it, you wouldn’t have wet countertops.) As for making too much-I can’t think of a case when you’d need a 6 oz measure for an ingredient (unless of course you were doubling or tripling a recipe for multiple guests at home). But if you were adding that much liquid at one time, you’d fill this shaker up so much that you wouldn’t get much aeration after adding ice. If I recall, this only holds 18oz? This is a general issue with cobblers-you have less room for ingredients to whip around if you make more than one cocktail serving at a time. I’m curious how many who have this shaker get use out of the larger measures, and how easy and accurate it is to use the lid to measure. I’m almost tempted to get one simply for testing purposes. I know I won’t like it more than my traditional tins. But it looks like a quality tool.

@ElevatedCraft 3 года назад

Hey Peter, the idea is that you can batch cocktails so that is where the 6 oz comes into play. You can also build a whole cocktail into the measuring top if you'd like so you are only pouring once vs a bunch of jigger pours. The tumbler holds 21.5 oz, the closed assembly holds 28oz. For your use case I think the vacuum insulation would be best served for batching something like 20 oz of margaritas or similar to enjoy with other people or over a long period of time. If you are just slinging drinks as fast as possible then the tin on tin is best. Cheers
