Vatch cocktail set

The cocktail set from Vatch arrives in a simple press-seal bag. Inside are just the stainless steel components of the set (two straws, a bar spoon and a pestle). The packaging has a minimalist look. There is no other protective film or packaging material between the individual parts. Although the packaging is generally quite sturdy and does not require any special protection against external influences, a little shipping paper or bubble wrap would be desirable to prevent the individual parts from being scratched during shipping. The package contents are complete as stated by the manufacturer. The manufacturer does not include instructions for use. However, this is understandable as the product is relatively self-explanatory and intuitive to use.

On closer inspection of the accessories, the cocktail set from Vatch really shines. Visually, it makes a flawless impression. The simple but modern design is appealing and blends in with most kitchen and bar interiors thanks to its neutral colours (silver, black). We are also impressed by the finish. All surfaces appear even and smooth, so there are no visible protrusions or other defects. The stainless steel construction also ensures a high level of stability, which competitor products made of plastic sometimes lack. The only criticism we have is in terms of sustainability . Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information about the product or the production process, so we can only assume a long service life and therefore a certain level of sustainability due to the high-quality manufacturing and durable materials. More information from the manufacturer would be desirable.

As our picture shows, the practical test of the cocktail set gave us great pleasure. We tested the bar spoon, straws and pestle in practical and everyday situations .
Initially, we focussed on the general production and durability of the components. We found the cocktail set to be a solid and reliable product in various scenarios that simulated repeated, real-life use. We were particularly impressed by the enormous stability of the stainless steel parts. This gave us confidence in the product at all times.
We also found it pleasant to use and suitable for everyday use . Thanks to a harmonious design and smooth surfaces, all products felt good in the hand. Even after prolonged use, we did not experience any negative or restrictive effects.
The accessories also impressed in the taste test . In the test with various liquids, no inherent taste or unpleasant odours could be detected on the product. This was tested with both cold and warm liquids.
Only in terms of cleaning did we find a tiny weak point on the otherwise flawless components of the cocktail set. Overall, the parts are very easy to clean in the dishwasher. All parts survive the cleaning process without any faults. However, liquid collects in a small gap between the plunger head and the handle during cleaning. This can also be observed with the drinking straws. Hand cleaning would be particularly useful for the drinking straws to ensure complete cleaning from the inside. An accompanying brush might be desirable, as the straws are too thin for standard dishwashing brushes.
Overall, however, we find the cocktail accessories to be an enrichment in the kitchen and bar, not only visually appealing but above all functional and reliable in performing the intended tasks.
