Barfly Heavy Duty Spring Bar Strainer, Gun Metal Black

Yes, the Barfly strainer is designed with a flexible spring mechanism that allows it to fit securely on most standard mixing glasses and cocktail shakers.

The finish is designed for durability and is highly resistant to pitting and wear. While it is built for professional use, we recommend avoiding abrasive scrubbers to maintain the matte aesthetic over time.

Yes, this strainer is dishwasher safe. Its heavy-gauge stainless steel construction is designed to withstand frequent cleaning without rusting or corroding.

This is a Hawthorne-style strainer, which features a spring coil to catch ice and fruit pulp. It is generally preferred for shaking cocktails, whereas a Julep strainer is typically used for stirred drinks in a mixing glass.

The spring is a standard coil design that can be removed if you need to perform a deep clean, though the open design of the strainer makes it easy to rinse thoroughly under a faucet.
