WHAT IS EXACTO-POUR(tm) and HOW IT WORKS
The Exacto-Pour(tm) is a tool used to train and test bartender pouring skills. Although it is most commonly used for free pouring, you can also improve jigger pouring skills with the device. Exacto-Pour(tm) is accurate enough to calibrate liquor systems and is also helpful in creating new recipes.
The patented Exacto-Pour(tm) consists of an acrylic case with cylinders marked with graduations of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4, and 2 ounces. The long narrow cylinders or tubes visually exaggerate even the slightest pouring error thereby motivating improvement.
In addition to the primary graduations, the tubes also show deviation marks at 1/8 and 1/4 ounce over and under the target portion size.

The thin line marks the amount indicated. The dashed line marks 1/8 oz. variations from the thin line. Between the dashed lines is considered the acceptable range for free pouring. For greatest accuracy, read the liquid level at the lowest point ( bottom of the meniscus). |

The Exacto-Pour(tm) is open on one side so the bartender call see all the tubes while learning to develop the sense of timing needed to accurately pour all amounts (1/4 to 2 ounces).

When the unit is turned around, the bartender can not see the tubes and can be tested according to your standards. A sample test sheet and score card is included or you can design you own test by what is important to your bar.

Bartenders pour into any glass or container you wish and then check pouring accuracy with the Exacto-Pour(tm). For purposes of speed, you can pour directly into the tubes using a plastic funnel. O-rings hold the tubes in the case, so to empty the unit, you just turn it upside down.
