- Rock-Solid Reliability: The push-up mechanism is built for high volume and won't jam easily.
- Sticky Liqueurs Beware: It’s not ideal for thicker, sugary liquids which can slow it down.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Fisherman's Arms in Penzance was struggling with stock discrepancies from free-pouring and needed to speed up service during the hectic tourist season. They refitted their entire back bar with Beaumont's 25ml commercial spirit measure dispensers to standardise their pours.
"Switching to the Beaumont optics was brilliant. Our stock takes are now spot-on, wastage is almost zero, and the bar staff can get drinks out much quicker. They look professional and the customers appreciate the consistent measures."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The change resulted in a tangible 95% reduction in spirit-related stock variance and noticeably faster service during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure your wall bracket or shelf stand is securely fixed before attaching the optic.
- To prime the optic, push the mechanism up several times until the measure is full and dispenses smoothly.
- Check that the rubber cork creates a tight seal with your spirit bottle to prevent leaks and evaporation.
- Always test with a new bottle to ensure the flow is correct before serving customers.
Keeping It Going
- Regularly clean your optics by rinsing them with warm water, especially between bottle changes.
- For sugary spirits or liqueurs, more frequent cleaning is vital to prevent the mechanism from sticking.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners which can degrade the plastic and rubber components over time.
- Periodically check the three-pronged mechanism and seals for any signs of wear and tear.

The Beaumont Standard: Reliability Poured into Every Measure

Ever wondered what 'Government Stamped' actually means? It’s not just a fancy sticker. For any UK business selling spirits like gin, whisky, vodka, or rum by the measure, the law (specifically the Weights and Measures Act) requires you to use a certified dispenser. This stamp is an official seal of approval from government inspectors, guaranteeing that the optic pours an accurate 25ml shot. Think of it like an MOT for your spirit measures – it proves to your customers and to Trading Standards that you are pouring fair, legal, and consistent drinks. Using a non-stamped measure for sales isn't just unprofessional, it can lead to hefty fines. This little stamp is your business's protection and your customer's guarantee of fairness.
