Who it is for
For anyone who wants the essential kit in a warm finish that sits well with wood and brass. Seven basic tools from the Lumian line, in copper plated stainless steel.
Behind the bar
Seven pieces cover the two techniques that count. The 700ml Shinto mixing glass with the strainer covers stirred and strained, the Kenko Boston with its half tin covers shaken. The Japanese jigger measures the in between amounts too thanks to its inner markings, and the 30cm Hoffmann bar spoon reaches the bottom of the mixing glass without making you tilt your wrist.
Copper is the plating that changes with use: it darkens where hands take hold and stays light elsewhere. Anyone wanting tools that stay identical over time chooses steel; anyone who accepts that they will age in plain view takes copper, and that is a matter of taste rather than performance.

Take this one if
If the bar is built from warm materials and you want the tools to belong in it. If you are after the lowest outlay in the line, the bare steel version costs less and goes in the dishwasher.
The jigger is 25/50, which matters here
Twenty five and fifty millilitres are the measures a British bar works in, unlike the Japanese 30/60. The inner markings at 15, 25 and 45ml cover the in between amounts on a built spec. It is a jigger for cocktail specs and not a stamped measure for single spirits.
Care
Hand wash with a neutral soap, no dishwasher and no abrasive pads on the plating. The mixing glass wants drying straight away: limescale marks show on thick glass more than on metal.
