The CE Marked AERO Jigger 20/40ml COPPER Plated [UrbanBAR] is a professional metal bar measure designed for bars, restaurants, hotels and other hospitality venues working with 20 ml and 40 ml portions.

This combination of volumes is particularly useful for venues whose recipes and serving standards are built around these quantities. Instead of estimating 20 or 40 ml using a different-sized jigger, both exact measures are available in one dedicated tool.

The UrbanBAR AERO design combines precise measuring with a slim, ergonomic shape created for the fast, repetitive movements of professional bartending, while the copper-plated finish gives this version a distinctive premium appearance.

Why choose an exact 20/40ml jigger?

If your bar works with standard 20 ml and 40 ml portions, the simplest solution is to use a jigger designed for exactly those volumes.

Trying to measure 20 ml in a 25 ml jigger or 40 ml in a 50 ml jigger requires visual estimation. This removes one of the main advantages of using a jigger in the first place: being able to reproduce the same measured quantity consistently.

With dedicated 20 ml and 40 ml sides, the bartender can measure either quantity directly, without calculations or estimating the fill level.

20/40ml or 25/50ml – which jigger is right for your bar?

There is no single jigger size that is ideal for every bar. The right choice depends on the portions and recipes actually used in your venue.

If your menu and operating procedures are based mainly on 20 ml and 40 ml, choose the 20/40 ml version. If your standard measures are 25 ml and 50 ml, the corresponding 25/50 ml jigger will be more practical.

The principle is simple: choose the jigger to match your recipes rather than estimating the recipe with the wrong size of jigger.

AERO shape – designed for bartender movement

The distinctive AERO profile separates this model from a traditional cylindrical measure. Its narrow centre provides a natural grip point, making it easy to hold, turn and switch between the two measuring sides.

This becomes particularly useful during busy service, when a jigger may be picked up, filled, emptied and turned repeatedly throughout a shift.

The result is a professional measuring tool that combines accurate portioning with ergonomics suited to the everyday rhythm of a busy bar.

COPPER Plated – professional function with a distinctive finish

The COPPER Plated version retains the professional functionality and 20/40 ml measuring format of the AERO jigger while adding a warm, distinctive finish to the tool.

It is particularly suited to cocktail bars, hotels, lounges and premium bar concepts where tools remain visible to guests and form part of the overall presentation of the cocktail station.

The plated surface requires appropriate care. We recommend hand washing and avoiding dishwashers, abrasive sponges and contact with objects that could scratch or damage the finish.

Accuracy for cocktails and spirits

The balance of a cocktail depends on the proportions between its ingredients. Even a few millilitres more or less can affect flavour, strength and overall balance, particularly in recipes containing several ingredients in relatively small quantities.

Using a jigger with the correct volumes helps bartenders reproduce the same recipe consistently, regardless of the shift or the person preparing the drink.

For the guest, this means greater consistency. For the bar manager, it means a service procedure that is easier to standardise across the team.

Better portion control means better cost control

Accurate measuring is not only about the taste of a cocktail. It also affects beverage costs and bottle yield.

If a standard 40 ml serving repeatedly becomes 43, 45 or 47 ml, the difference may seem small in a single drink. Across many servings and bottles, however, those extra millilitres can reduce actual bottle yield and increase the cost per drink.

When recipes and serving quantities are clearly standardised, managers can calculate the theoretical cost of each drink more accurately and estimate how many portions should be obtained from each bottle.

A jigger does not replace stock control, but it helps the team follow one simple rule: same drink, same recipe, same measure.

Why use a professional bar measure?

A jigger provides a defined reference for every pour. This is particularly useful when consistency, portion control and repeatable recipes are priorities.

The 20/40 ml format allows ingredients to be measured before they are added to the shaker, mixing glass or serving glass, helping to reduce variation between drinks.

CE Marked for professional use

The AERO jigger features the applicable CE conformity marking and is designed as a professional volume measuring instrument.

It combines a practical metal construction with the ergonomic AERO profile, making it suitable for everyday use in cocktail bars, restaurants, hotels and other professional beverage service environments.

AERO UrbanBAR or a classic cylindrical jigger?

Both designs can perform the same basic task of measuring a defined quantity, but they offer a different handling experience.

A classic cylindrical measure provides a simple, robust and functional construction. The UrbanBAR AERO design places greater emphasis on bartender ergonomics, with a narrow centre that facilitates grip, turning and quick movement between the two measuring sides.

Neither format is automatically better for every bartender. The choice depends on working style, preferred handling and the equipment setup of the bar.

This model belongs to the professional UrbanBAR AERO range, recognised for its distinctive silhouette and bartender-focused ergonomic design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 20/40ml jigger used for?
It is designed to measure 20 ml and 40 ml portions of spirits, liqueurs and other liquid ingredients used in professional drink and cocktail preparation.

Why choose a 20/40ml jigger instead of a 25/50ml model?
Choose the size that matches the recipes and serving standards used in your bar. If your standard portions are 20 ml and 40 ml, a dedicated 20/40 ml jigger allows you to measure them directly without visual estimation.

Can I measure 20/40ml with a 25/50ml jigger?
You can visually estimate a smaller quantity, but this reduces measuring consistency. A dedicated 20/40 ml jigger provides the required volumes directly.

What makes the AERO design different?
The AERO profile has a narrow central section designed to provide a comfortable grip and make it easier to turn the jigger quickly between its two measuring sides.

Is the COPPER Plated version made entirely from copper?
No. COPPER Plated refers to the exterior finish of the jigger, not to the base construction material.

How should I clean the copper-plated jigger?
Hand washing is recommended. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive sponges and cleaning methods that could scratch or damage the plated surface.

Why is accurate measuring important for cocktails?
Ingredient ratios affect flavour, strength and balance. Consistent measuring helps the bar team reproduce the same recipe from one order to the next.

Is the AERO 20/40ml suitable for professional bars?
Yes. It is designed for professional beverage service and is particularly useful for venues working with standardised 20 ml and 40 ml portions.
