The matt black cobbler shaker in two lines
This is the three piece shaker, 500ml in stainless steel with a matt black finish: body, built-in strainer and cap. You fill it, close it, shake it and pour without touching anything else, because the strainer is already inside.
Who it is for
For anyone who wants one object instead of three. The cobbler is the shaker almost everyone recognises, and it earns its place where the gesture is on show: table service, open bars, catering, home. It is also the right piece to start on, because it asks for no separate strainer and no palm strike to open.
The strainer is inside, and that changes everything
On a Boston the strainer is an accessory; here it is part of the piece. Under the cap there is a perforated grille that holds the ice back while the liquid runs out. That is why this shaker is the simplest of them all to use, and it is also its limit: the grille has wider holes than a spring strainer, so a drink with muddled citrus or fine ice shards still wants a second pass through a fine mesh strainer. Anyone chasing full clarity works with a Boston; anyone chasing a clean gesture in front of the guest works with a cobbler.

Why matt is not only a look
A matt surface does not reflect, so it does not carry the fingerprints and water marks that show from across the room on polished steel. And it grips: wet, a polished cylinder slips between the fingers, while a matt or brushed finish holds. In a service where hands are always damp with ice that is a real gain, and the supplier lists it among the reasons this version sits better behind the bar.
The cap that sticks
It is the old fault of the family and it is worth knowing beforehand rather than finding out mid service. As you shake, the liquid chills and the metal contracts: the cap tightens on the strainer and stays there. It does not get pulled. You warm the top for a moment with your hand or a warm cloth and it gives way on its own. A 500ml cobbler, which is a contained size, sticks less than a large one, because there is less cold mass.
Five hundred millilitres, that is one drink
The capacity tells you how many it serves. Five hundred millilitres is one shaken cocktail with its ice, so this is the single serve size: precise, quick to chill, easy in the hand. Anyone making two drinks at once, as happens on a service built around couples, needs 700 or 900ml and moves up a model.
Care
Hand wash in warm water with the three pieces apart, and dry before putting them back together: water shut between strainer and cap is what leaves a mark over time. Treat the black surface as a finish rather than as bare steel, so no abrasive pads and no harsh detergent, while we wait for the supplier to state which treatment it is.
FAQ
Does the matt black cobbler shaker need a strainer? No, the strainer is built in under the cap. For a fine strain you still want a mesh strainer.
What does it hold? 500ml, the size of one cocktail with its ice.
How many pieces is it? Three: body, strainer and cap.
What do I do if the cap sticks? Warm the top for a moment with your hand: the metal expands and it releases.
Can it go in the dishwasher? Hand wash is better, so the matt finish is not attacked.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
