Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Still, a bustling pub in Bristol's Old City, decided to upgrade their barware after receiving feedback about ice chips in their classic cocktails. They needed tools that were both elegant and tough enough for constant use.

Samuel Jones – Bar Manager

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the strainer a good wash with warm, soapy water.
- Rinse it thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Dry it completely before its first use or before storing.
- Find a handy spot for it on your bar - either in a utensil pot or hung by its handle.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, rinse it with water immediately after each use to prevent residue from drying on the mesh.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers which could damage the fine mesh.
- While durable, try not to use it to scoop heavy items like ice, as this could dent the basket.
- Periodically check that the handle and basket are secure, ensuring it's always safe to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this strainer dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, being made of stainless steel, it is generally safe for commercial dishwashers. However, for longevity and to protect the fine mesh, a quick hand rinse is often faster and gentler.
Q: What is the main difference between this and a Hawthorne strainer?
A: A Hawthorne strainer has a spring and is used to hold back large chunks of ice and fruit from a shaker. This fine mesh strainer is used afterwards to remove tiny shards of ice and pulp for a much smoother finish.
Q: Will it rust over time?
A: No, the Beaumont fine mesh strainer is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and corrosion, even in a busy, wet bar environment.
Q: Can I use it for straining hot liquids like tea or broth?
A: Absolutely. Stainless steel is perfectly safe for hot liquids, making it a versatile tool for the kitchen as well as the bar.
Q: How fine is the mesh?
A: It features a very fine mesh designed specifically to catch small ice crystals, citrus seeds, and fine fruit pulp that other strainers might miss.
Q: Is the handle sturdy enough for a busy bar?
A: Yes, it's designed for commercial use. The handle is securely attached to the basket to withstand the demands of a high-volume professional bar.
Q: Is it light enough to use all night?
A: Yes, with a weight of only 0.05kg, it is exceptionally lightweight and designed to minimise fatigue for bartenders during long shifts.
Q: Could I use this for dusting cocoa or icing sugar?
A: Yes, its fine mesh makes it an excellent multi-purpose tool for dusting desserts or the top of a cappuccino, in addition to its primary bar use.

Ever wondered how top bars get their cocktails so velvety smooth? The secret is often a technique called 'double straining', and this tool is the star of the show. After you've shaken your drink with ice and strained it through a standard Hawthorne strainer (the one with the coil), tiny ice shards and fruit bits can still sneak through. A fine mesh drinks strainer acts as a second, much finer gatekeeper.
Think of it like using a sieve to get lumps out of flour before baking a cake. By pouring the drink through this fine cocktail sieve, you catch all those tiny imperfections. The result is a drink with a superior texture and a cleaner taste, as there's no extra water melting from tiny ice chips. It’s a simple step that separates a good cocktail from a great one.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cocktail Bars: An essential for double-straining to achieve that silky, professional texture in sours and martinis.
- Gastropubs: The perfect tool for elevating your cocktail menu and ensuring every drink is served to perfection.
- Hotel Bars & Lounges: Guarantees a premium, consistent drink experience that meets the high expectations of your guests.
- Modern Restaurants: Ideal not just for drinks, but for straining fine sauces, consommés, or syrups in the kitchen.
