- Top Marks for Durability: This won't bend or dent easily, even when dropped.
- Consideration Point: Being a thimble, it's slower than a speed pourer for rapid service.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan & Cygnet, a bustling gastropub in York, needed to standardise its spirit service across its team of new and experienced bartenders. They switched to the Beaumont 35ml CE Marked Thimble Measures to ensure consistency and legal compliance.
"We needed something foolproof that everyone on the team could use. These measures removed any doubt about pour sizes. Our stock takes are more accurate, and the team feels more confident during a busy service. They're simple, but they've made a real difference to our operations."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The change resulted in a 5% improvement in stock-take accuracy for spirits and ensured 100% compliance with local trading standards.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up

- Rinse well and dry completely before first use.

Keeping It Going
- Clean regularly throughout and after each shift, either by hand or in a glasswasher.

- Avoid using harsh scouring pads which could scratch the stainless steel finish.
- If using for sticky liqueurs, rinse immediately after use to prevent residue build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this thimble measure dishwasher or glasswasher safe?
A: Yes, being made of high-quality stainless steel, it is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher.
Q: What does 'CE Marked' actually mean?
A: It means the measure has been officially certified to hold the exact volume stated. It is a legal requirement in the UK for serving spirits by the glass.
Q: Is 35ml a standard single measure in the UK?
A: Yes, along with 25ml, 35ml is one of the two legally permitted single measures for spirits in the UK. The choice often depends on the establishment's preference.
Q: What is the difference between a thimble measure and a jigger?
A: A thimble is a single-cup measure for one specific volume. A jigger is typically a double-ended tool with a different measure on each side (e.g., 25ml and 50ml).
Q: Can I use this for measuring cocktail ingredients?
A: Absolutely. While jiggers are more common in cocktail making, this is perfect for accurately measuring the base spirit in any drink recipe.
Q: How should I clean it to keep it looking new?
A: Regular washing with warm, soapy water is sufficient. Avoid abrasive scourers. For a polished shine, dry it with a soft microfibre cloth.
Q: Is the stainless steel good quality?
A: Yes, Beaumont is renowned for using high-grade stainless steel that is designed to withstand the demands of a busy commercial bar without rusting or bending.
Q: Is the 35ml marking easy to read?
A: The CE stamp and volume are pressed into the metal, making them clear, permanent, and easy to identify.

Ever wondered what that little 'CE' stamp really means? Think of it as a legal guarantee. For a spirit measure, the CE marking (along with a crown stamp) confirms it has been tested and verified by a government-approved body to hold the exact volume it claims to. In the UK, it is illegal to sell spirits like gin, rum, vodka, or whisky by the measure using an unstamped device. Using a CE marked stainless thimble 35ml isn't just good practice; it's the law.
It’s like the MOT for your barware. Just as you wouldn't drive an uncertified car, you shouldn't serve with an uncertified measure. This simple mark protects your business from fines, ensures every customer gets a fair pour, and makes your stock management far more accurate. It's the small detail that provides complete professional credibility and operational peace of mind.
Who Should Buy This?
- Traditional Pubs & Inns: For serving standard spirits like whisky, gin, and vodka accurately and legally over the bar.
- Cocktail & Wine Bars: Essential for precise base spirit measurements, ensuring recipe consistency and correct costing.
