Tiamo Stainless Steel Shakers: Sizes for Coffee & Bartending

If you’ve ever tried layering flavors precisely or controlling dilution in cold brew or cocktails, you’ve likely faced the challenge of inconsistent pours or unmeasured shaking. Whether you’re a barista experimenting with nitro infusions or a home bartender crafting balanced drinks, the right shaker makes all the difference—but which size is actually right for your needs?

Tiamo offers three stainless steel shakers in exact capacities: 350cc (blue, HC3132), 530cc (black, HC3133), and 750cc (white, HC3134). These are built for precision, whether you're shaking coffee batches or mixing cocktails.

What Are Tiamo Stainless Steel Shakers?

Tiamo’s HC-series shakers are high-quality, food-grade stainless steel shakers designed for professional and home use. Unlike generic shakers, these are built to withstand repeated use without retaining odors or rusting, making them suitable for both coffee and mixology applications. Their sleek, professional design also fits seamlessly in café or bar setups.

Available Sizes and Color Codes

Tiamo manufactures three specific models, each with a unique volume and color code:

• Blue HC3132: 350cc capacity—ideal for single servings or smaller batches.
• Black HC3133: 530cc capacity—suited for standard drinks or medium coffee batches.
• White HC3134: 750cc capacity—best for larger mixes or group pours.

These correspond to common serving sizes in both specialty coffee preparation and cocktail crafting.

Why Use a Dedicated Coffee or Cocktail Shaker?

A dedicated stainless steel shaker gives you better temperature control, cleaner pours, and more consistent results than plastic or uncalibrated alternatives. For coffee, this means more accurate cold brew shaking or infusion mixing. In bartending, it ensures balanced dilution and emulsification. The tight seal and balanced weight distribution also reduce spills and fatigue during use.

How to Choose the Right Size

Selecting the right shaker depends on your typical batch size:

• Use the 350cc (blue) for single drinks, concentrated coffee extractions, or small-batch experiments.
• Choose the 530cc (black) for standard coffee pours, dual-ingredient cocktails, or moderate-volume shaking.
• Opt for the 750cc (white) when mixing for multiple people, handling larger coffee volumes, or prepping big batches.

The graduated sizes help achieve precision whether you measure by counts, ratios, or visual pours.

Using Shakers in Specialty Coffee

In specialty coffee, shakers are used for techniques like rapid chilling (Japanese iced coffee method), shaking infused syrups, or cold brew carbonation trials. The 350cc and 530cc sizes are especially practical for controlled small-batch testing before scaling up. The 750cc version can handle larger pour-over adjuncts or batch preps for service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Tiamo shakers only for coffee?

No, Tiamo shakers are versatile and used widely in both coffee and mixology. The stainless steel build and precise sizes make them ideal for shaking cocktails, infusing liquids, or controlling cold brew variables, as well as for coffee-specific techniques like rapid chilling or syrup integration.

What’s the difference between the HC3132, HC3133, and HC3134 models?

The model numbers refer to specific sizes and colors: HC3132 is blue and 350cc, HC3133 is black and 530cc, and HC3134 is white and 750cc. They share the same high-quality stainless steel construction but vary in volume for different use-case needs.

Which shaker size is best for home baristas?

Most home baristas find the 530cc (black, HC3133) strikes the best balance for daily use—large enough for standard coffee batches or double drinks, yet compact enough for easy handling and storage.

Can these shakers be used for hot liquids?

These shakers are designed for cold or room-temperature use. Using them with hot liquids can cause pressure buildup and risk of opening mid-shake, so they’re not recommended for hot beverages or steam-infused mixes.

Are replacement lids or parts available for Tiamo shakers?

The article does not specify availability of replacement parts. For durability, it’s advised to care for the original seals and components to maintain the shaker’s airtight performance over time.
