Best tool for dripping?

[Absomphe]

I used to use a fountain, but I find that a slow, steady drip from a sports bottle does just as well.

and here I was thinking I was clever and invented the 'hole in the cap' method. :-)

Ha, someone here, can't remember who, posted a photo years ago of their setup that was made out of a coat hanger that suspends the water bottle so that it drips hands-free. The cheapest and best poor man's fountain evar.

Sandpedlar had a sport bottle suspended by a wire hanger....I think.

That was awhile back. She's terrific! *smile*

That's who it was.

practice makes perfect as well. I made a fountain awhile back but now only break it out if there's several people over, which doesn't happen too often. then I was a brouille guy for awhile. Then we got the water filter that allows me to drip directly into the glass.Now, on a good day I can get a nice fine stream from a straight-up mason jar full of ice water.

 

but it didn't happen overnight...............

IMHO there's nothing like a fountain for a perfect drip, and the best tuned it is, the better the drip. Most of the time I use a "La Véritable" for reviews or historical.

 

But it ain't my goto weapon ain't it ?

Every time I see this topic pop up all I can think about is this, since they claim to be able to fine tune your dripping tool in a number of ways.

I use a cocktail shaker that has about a 1/4" lip around the pouring sieve. Fill it with ice, fill it with water, pour slowly, but certainly more than a drip. May constitute a 'power louche' but it louches nonetheless. The extra lip on this particular shaker prevents that back-drip you often get when trying to pour slowly.

The "cocktail shaker method" is one I frequently encounter in bars. I find it can work quite well!
