Four measures instead of two

Where the WMF and Westmark jiggers in this comparison offer two fixed measures each, Alessi’s Tending Box combines four — 1.5, 3, 4 and 6 cl — around a single central ring, covering a wider range of recipe measurements without switching tools.

What the Alessi name adds

This is a designer piece as much as a functional tool, and the price reflects that: roughly three times the cost of the plainer Westmark jigger for the added measures and the design pedigree.
