Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Arms, a bustling traditional pub in Cardiff, was struggling with inconsistent spirit measures between different bar staff, leading to variable drink quality and stock discrepancies. They decided to equip their entire bar with the Beaumont 3174SV thimble measures to standardise their pouring process.
"These measures immediately took the guesswork out of our service. Our regulars noticed the consistency, and our stocktakes are now far more accurate. It’s a small change that made a big professional difference."
Robert Evans – Landlord
After the first month, the pub reported a significant reduction in spirit wastage, contributing to a 4% increase in their gross profit on spirits.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the measure a quick inspection to ensure it's in perfect condition.
- Wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water before its first use on the bar.
- Dry completely with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.
- Position it within easy reach on your bar top or in a caddy for efficient service.
Keeping It Going
- Rinse the measure between different types of spirits to avoid flavour contamination.
- Clean it at the end of every shift. It's fully dishwasher safe for convenience.
- For a brilliant shine, hand wash and polish with a microfibre cloth.
- Store upside down on a draining mat to ensure it dries out fully and stays hygienic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this thimble measure legal for use in a UK pub?
A: Yes, absolutely. It is CE marked, which means it meets all legal requirements for accuracy for serving spirits by measure for trade.
Q: What is the difference between a thimble measure and a jigger?
A: A thimble measure is a single-sided cup used for pouring spirits. A jigger is typically double-sided with two different measurements and is more commonly associated with cocktail making.
Q: Is the 71ml volume marking clearly visible?
A: Yes, the capacity is clearly stamped into the exterior of the stainless steel, making it easy for bar staff to identify during a busy service.
Q: Can this Beaumont 3174SV thimble measure be washed in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, it is made from high-quality stainless steel and is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial glass or dishwasher.
Q: Will the measure rust or affect the taste of spirits?
A: No. The professional-grade stainless steel construction is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, and it will not taint or impart any flavour to the spirits.
Q: Why is the capacity 71ml?
A: While standard measures are 25ml or 35ml, larger or more specific sizes like 71ml (approx 2.5oz) are often used for crafting specific cocktails or for serving non-prescribed drinks like liqueurs.
Q: Is this measure heavy?
A: It has a solid, reassuring feel without being overly heavy. Its 0.08kg weight gives it a quality feel and stability when pouring.
Q: What are the benefits of stainless steel over a plastic alternative?
A: Stainless steel offers far superior durability, better hygiene as it's non-porous, a more professional appearance, and it won't stain or retain odours from strong liqueurs.
