Superb
After receiving my new Aslakson macha bowel, I rushed to the kitchen looking for the wire mesh strainers I had on the cabinet. Yes - selected the smallest and it worked ok. However, these are from the 40's and are not SS and are very grey now. I really wanted a new shinny one ! That day I ordered the sieve and was impressed with the design (simplicity), weight, and how it did the job. This past year I have deviated in how I use it. I do not use a wood scoop moving it back and forth. Instead, I move the sieve back and forth gently making a slight ringing sound. This works for me and has the added benefit of a pleasant efficient action of reducing the mancha to a fine powder and a soothing sound. dk+
