 A better martini shakerFeb 02, 2006
By Philip T. Ganderton
"gandini"
This shaker won Cook's Illustrated test of martini shakers late in 2005, just before the Christmas season. Branded as a Target shaker, it was out of stock before you could click "buy." I finally figured out it was the Metrokane Bullet and ordered it asap. It *does* live up to the hype, on one factor alone. It doesn't drip or spill when pouring. Yes, it's stainless steel, it's elegant (if not a little too phallic for some,) it's large enough to mix two *good sized* martinis, and...so what? Each of the other 5 cocktail shakers I've owned had these things going for them (but with more traditional tapered profiles.) But they all leaked when I removed the top/jigger measure from the body of the shaker. The Metrokane is one of the few shakers that has the lid fit inside the neck of the main shaker, so that it is easily removed to pour without any liquid loss or mess. All parts are well made and fit, but are easily detached for cleaning or refilling.
So long as the shape doesn't bother you, this is the best martini shaker no doubt. Cheers!

great shakerFeb 26, 2003
this shaker works better than most as its top cover is set so that when you're done shaking all the liquid drains back into the shaker instead of that little bit the spills out like most shakers

 Hard to openSep 11, 2009
By S. Kessler
Just got this the other day and only used it once so far. In the looks department it's great. Very elegant. In the mix your first drink department it works like a charm and is easier to use, less messy, and has better capacity than my old Boston-style shaker. But in the ergonomics department, it leaves something to be desired. After my first shaken cocktail, I wanted to pull the top off to rinse it out before the lime pulp dried on the strainer. I could not reoopen it. Tried everything, including a dish towel and silicon mat to get traction, but no, it wouldn't open. I ran hot water over it three successive times to "shrink" the metal to loosen the cover. Finally, on the third try, it came open. If I'm only mixing one drink at a time for myself and not expecting to have a second fine. But if I have a party going and want to mix for a crowd, this would definitely be a problem. I will try the hot water trick the next time I use it, but to have to do that is quite an annoyance.

 Looks great, but.....Sep 27, 2010
By Martiniman
This shaker looks really classy and has that "wow" effect - BUT, it is impossible to separate the lid and the tube! I had read about this (major) shortcoming in another review, but figured it couldn't be that bad - guess what? IT IS. I've had it for 4 weeks and have tried everything - heat, cold, brute strength - yet still can't get it open. I'd send it back, but I threw away all the wrappings. It looks really neat on the bar, though - now, if it would only work....

It's a keeper!Mar 02, 2006
By zrsdad
This shaker is definately a keeper! Solid, sleek, and bigger than many at 28-ounces, I can mix for a group instead of individually.
