Cordless Cocktail Maker

Love the machine, and you can get on the subscriptions on Bartesian to get better deals on the pods. There are many different types of drinks that can be made. Friends all really like it when they come over and can try different drinks easily. The drinks taste very good, and you can adjust the strength all the way down to mocktails for children. It also looks nice when lit up at our bar, but it would be nice if the color selected would stay. The pumps are easy to clean, and the part that needs to be cleaned the most is the sensor. Since there are six bottles the storage capacity makes many drinks without needing to change out liquor, but you will need do change out water more often.

We have enjoyed this machine so much. It makes bartending easy. The dri is are perfect t everytime. You can adjust the strength. The pods are a bit expensive but worth it! They have lots of choices!

I bought this as a christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. They set it up immediately and it looks so fabulous using regular bottles. This little robotic bartender is brilliant. It scans the barcode of your choice cocktail pod and knows precisely how to create a perfectly mixed cocktail. It knows which drinks need to be shaken and even shakes for a beautifully created cocktail. The subscription for the pods on the bartesian website gives you points and a discount as well. Very fun machine and worth the money if you love having delicious cocktail with no effort at home.

Love it! Makes great cocktails! I love the lighting on it and how you can change it! Simple to use! Worth the price!

Cheaper version of the other machine. Works great love it

I purchased the Black + Decker vs the Bartesian because I love having the flexibility to easily swap out the liquor bottles and having the ability to see the brands of liquor. With the Bartesian one, you can buy extra bottles (You have to use their bottles), but that means you don't know which liquor is which if you swap out and you have the work of pouring the liquor into the bottles. With this Black + Decker one, I swap out my vodkas, tequila, bourbon all the time depending on my guests and who wants to drink what brand. In 2022 I purchased the original one and then in 2024 I purchased the cordless version because I find myself taking this to parties and when I host my Annual Friendsgiving at rented venues. I once used it at a work party serving about 100 people. I have recommended and purchased this brand to many of my friends and here are my recommendations to them: 1. You must have liquor in each slot or the machine won't work; even if the drink you're making doesn't require them all. 2. Read the manual. There are a maximum amount of drinks you can make per hour. This is not a problem for at-home parties, but might be if you're serving hundreds of guests per hour. This is not an industrial machine, but PERFECT for at-home. 3. Freeze the Bartesian capsules to extend their duration. 4. Don't leave used capsules in the chamber; it can make the chamber sticky and make it difficult to open it when it's sticky. 5. The strong drink setting is really strong for most drinkers. 6. Get the recommended 750ml bottles because those fit better in the machine. Larger bottles or won't fit if they're too tall. For me, the Crown Royal bottle was too short. It works until the bottle gets low. I placed a small, flat jewelry box under the bottle to raise it up. I've had zero problems with this brand and hope you enjoy!

This machine is great! One star off for the overly expensive Bartesian pods, most of which go bad after a few weeks, and are very expensive. Bartesian is apparently following the model HP invented (sell the machine at a loss, and make up for it with WAY overpriced proprietary consumables (ink/pods). It would also be nice to have it dispense just one shot of any of the five liquors (or a double). I bought this (Black & Decker) version because it uses the same battery as their tools, and lasts FOREVER! Too bad Bartesian's pods are NOT shelf-stable and cost MORE than my local bar on a drink-by-drink basis after buying the pods and the alcohol. Don't buy any Bartesian product it you think it will save you money. It won't!

Before I came across this, I was signed up to one of those Kickstarter for someone making a much smaller version of this. I had no idea this was already on the market, so I canceled my Kickstarter donation and immediately bought this one after some heavy review research. From the moment I purchased it, setting it up was a breeze. It's so user-friendly that even my woman, who's not the most tech-savvy, has no trouble using it. Whenever we have guests, they're always curious about it and are impressed. The ability to whip up perfectly mixed drinks at a moment's notice is simply fantastic. Let's delve into the drinks it makes. I adore them. Admittedly, there are a few that don't quite match my palate, but they're crafted with the precision of a human professional. The LED lights add a touch of ambiance, and the portability allows me to take the party to my backyard for pool or spa gatherings during the summer. I've had no issues since I bought this. I did take one star off for "value" and I only did that because I still feel this might be a slight bit overpriced. Maybe I'm wrong; either way, I still love this. I highly recommend it!
