Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the Sangreman Help Center. Find answers below to common questions regarding our barware, materials, maintenance, ordering, and worldwide shipping.

🍸 Products & Craftsmanship

What materials are Sangreman bar tools made from?

All Sangreman barware is precision-engineered from premium food-grade 304 stainless steel, the industry benchmark for professional hospitality. This ensures corrosion resistance, structural durability, and optimal temperature retention. Our coated collections (Matte Black, Polished Gold, Rose Copper, and Vintage Silver) feature durable PVD or electroplated finishes over solid stainless steel.

How do I choose between a Boston, Cobbler, and Parisian shaker?

  • Boston Shaker (Two-Piece): Composed of two metal tins (or tin and glass). Favored by high-volume bartenders for rapid workflow, tight thermal seals, and high-capacity mixing. Requires a separate Hawthorne or Julep strainer.
  • Parisian / French Shaker (Two-Piece): A sleek, curved two-piece metal shaker that combines aesthetic elegance with ease of separation. Requires an external strainer.
  • Cobbler Shaker (Three-Piece): Includes a tin, integrated strainer cap, and top lid. Convenient for all-in-one home bar mixing.

What if an item is out of stock?

Due to small-batch manufacturing and strict quality control standards, select finishes occasionally sell out. You can sign up for back-in-stock notifications on any product page, or contact our support team at support@sangreman.com for estimated restocking dates.

🧼 Care & Maintenance

Are Sangreman tools dishwasher safe?

  • Raw 304 Stainless Steel (Silver/Mirror Finish): Dishwasher safe, though hand-washing is recommended to maintain a pristine mirror polish over time.
  • Coated Finishes (Black, Gold, Copper, Rainbow): Hand-wash only. Wash using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth or sponge. Dry immediately with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots and preserve the plated finish.

Why might subtle variations appear between production batches?

Many of our bar tools undergo manual polishing, engraving, and hand-finishing processes. Minor variations in luster, weight, or pattern depth reflect authentic craftsmanship and do not affect structural integrity or performance.
