The new shakers suck
So I've got a new white shaker... and the black (1000) shaker. Both look awesome and just 'feel' well made. (I also have an OG shaker)
But as functional things I need to use multiple times a day, they kind of suck.
- They have a smaller opening than the original shakers, meaning you make a bigger mess when trying to get your powder in there.
- The 'fill too' line is hard to see, and given the smaller opening, it's more important.
- The smaller opening also is too small for an adult hand -- especially one with a rag in it -- so washing it is really freaking hard.
- 4 things to keep track of and wash vs 3
- more small crevices and 'overlapping plastic' making it harder to clean.
- It's not as obvious when the top piece is on such that shakes with an 'unsealed' top are more likely -- which is an uber-mess.
- ice screen traps powder between the edge of the ice-screen and the bottle... so there is generally always some crusty crap there you need to wash off instead of just rinse out
- the ice screen, itself, is harder to clean (I am open to the idea it's just 'different' to clean... but it seems harder for me)
Maybe I was just spoiled with how good the OG shakers were and I would have thought that a custom-made shaker would have been an improvement.
