A French shaker seals with nothing but two pieces of steel — no threads, no lugs, no gasket. That means only two things can go wrong: it leaks while you shake, or it locks shut after you do. Both come from the same set of dimensions. This is the engineering behind that joint: why it has to be a shallow cone rather than a press fit, the four values E-BON sets before cutting tooling (8–12 mm engaged length, 2°–3° taper per side, 0.10–0.25 mm interference, 0.5–1.0 mm axial clearance), why roundness rather than diameter is what buyers feel, why the mouth needs a separate sizing die after springback, and why a plated version cannot share the same mouth dimension as an unplated one.

Explains the material difference between 304 and 201 stainless steel, why 201 shows up in aggressively priced barware quotes, where the difference actually shows up after an order ships (corrosion, finish stability, the unreliable magnet-test shortcut), and gives buyers a concrete way to confirm grade in writing before comparing supplier quotes.

French press sediment does not come from one cause. This article separates normal metal-filter silt from excess sludge and visible grounds, then shows how grind distribution, mesh fineness, filter layers, edge fit and plunger resistance help identify the source.

For most high-volume commercial bars, a tin-on-tin Boston shaker is the stronger primary tool. This article compares service speed, cleaning, straining, menu fit and bulk-order checks, while showing where a Cobbler still makes operational sense.

A practical method for mapping a commercial bar station around the drink-production path, fixed tool positions, clean-to-dirty movement, shared-station ownership and opening resets. It also helps operators and buyers distinguish a true tool shortage from a reset, cleaning-return or fixed-layout problem before changing the barware order.
