The jigger 30/45ml in two lines
A double cone measure of 30 and 45 millilitres, with internal markings at 15, 30 and 45ml. Stainless steel, 60 grams, cut to the doses that European recipe books use most.
Who it is for
For anyone working from recipes written in centilitres. The codified international classics count in millilitres rather than in ounces, and the two doses that come up most often are 30ml and 45ml: the spirit base and its generous version. The 30/45ml jigger is exactly that pair of numbers, with no conversion.
Thirty and forty five, and why those two
Because they are the doses most classics are built on in their European form: a Negroni runs on three equal parts of 30ml, a Martini on 45ml of gin with 5ml of vermouth, a sour on 45ml of base and 30ml of juice. Anyone using a 30/60 jigger has to read an intermediate marking to reach 45; with this format you fill one cone to the rim, which is faster and more accurate. Over a four hour service that shows up in minutes saved and mistakes avoided.

The rim measures better than the marking
This holds for every jigger and it counts for more here. A cone filled to the rim is a repeatable measure for anyone, because a rim is not open to interpretation; a marking has to be read at eye level, and two people read it two ways. The 30/45ml jigger lets you work to a full rim on the two doses used most, and keeps the markings for the rare cases. That is why drinks come out the same on a bar where several people take turns.
Take this format if
If you follow recipes in millilitres, if your list is built on European classics, and if more than one person works the bar and you want the doses repeatable without explanation. If instead you work from American recipes built on two ounces, the 30/60 format is more direct and covers long bases better.
A note for a bar in the United Kingdom
Gin, rum, vodka and whisky sold by the glass are served in 25ml or 35ml and their multiples, measured with an optic or a stamped measure. This jigger is a cocktail measure: it is not a stamped measure for single spirits, and it should not be used as one.
Care
Rinse straight away, because syrups and thick liqueurs dry fast and leave a film that reduces the usable volume of the cone; dry it to avoid limescale marks, which show on polished steel. It is a tool that lasts decades: no moving parts, nothing that wears and nothing that can break.
