This was an excellent review. You touched in on the most important areas, including the double piercing. This was a very good review, thank you for posting.
I heard the add on my radio station for the 1st time in my truck, got home and immediately looked it up and found your video! Holy Crap!! this is right up my wife and I alley! I know what to get her for Christmas now!! (we love cocktails! where not beer drinkers) Thanks for reviewing this!
Mine wasn’t working or I’m doing something wrong, and I did just that. The water is just to wash out the machine. I took a capsule, poured it in a cup of ice and poured a shot in the cup. Tastes just like what the bartesian would do. I can’t figure out why mine isn’t mixing. I’m trying it for the first time.
the pods aren’t powder, or at least most of them aren’t powder. They’re kinda like everything you need to make a cocktail in a little pod. in theory you could, but the bartesian mixes it in a way that it’s a consistent drink every time. As for the water it mixes with the pods to dilute them and make them taste not as concentrated. The water also works for the mock tail setting as well as it’s cleaning feature
One thing I would mention that I like about mine is the money you save on mixers that you may only use once or twice so it saves a lot of space as well as money from having to purchase a bunch of different types of mixtures but really good review
Witches brew was beautiful (looking) the mock tail tastes great but the vodka is very strong. I wish the machine could be calibrated to have the light be one shot, regular (2), etc etc
Great video girl! I was wondering if this gave you a strength option. I’m definitely buying now. Also great info afterwards, I never knew there was a subscription. Thanks for sharing!
We just got one, thinking of returning it. I just don’t get it. Thought it would eliminate having to shake my martini but it doesn’t. Still trying to figure out what it does.
Someone gave it to me as a gift and I didn’t find it super useful. But I’m thinking if I have a party it would be great for people to choose their own mixed drinks.
They aim to make more money from capsules, you buy the machine once but you continue to buy capsules, I completely respect it, don't get me wrong, it's a good idea. But there is something on my mind, can't we add passionfruit juice to one of the bottles on the side and then mix it? Do we really need to buy these capsules?
The price of the pods are a rip off £2.50 a pod not to mention the spirits you need to add, I was gonna buy this until I realised it's cheaper to drink out in a bar.
Is one capsule used for each drink? Or how much drinks you can made with one capsule. 3€ extra for each drink sounds too expensive, i hope it is not first option
I can't stand gin either. I do fine it's fine in a Singapore sling as it's very slight and that horrid flavour works ... in that one drink! LOL. Thank you for the video.
What I don’t get is that the machine doesnt cool the drinks… I mean… It cost enough to build in a cooling system i would guess. Just make a spiral going through a dry cooler.
I was a bartender for six years and then later on in life I dabble working events. I couldn't see myself ever getting this for that reason but it's cool for people who want it or don't know how to make cocktails. TFS.
It's a northern expensive gadget that pple who have to keep up with the Jones who have the Jones from blowing money on stupid shit that lands in a closet unless your liver goes firsthand
@@saricomey889 oh well… to each his own, you don’t want it you don’t have to purchase it. I’m grown, my bills are paid and I can afford it. Don’t judge what other people do if they’re not infringing on you. ✌🏾
If you have to add the ice and topping and perhaps any fresh squeezed juices then may as well just make the drink yourself. And I doubt it can make a basic Jack and Coke. Pass.
I think Every1 hates gin 😀. They should've done Cognac instead. The margaritas are our favorite as well 🙂. I have the passion fruit flavor, I haven't tried it yet, now I'm tempted. Lol. But I also, haven't tried the uptown rocks yet, which is a gin drink. Lol
I must be the only one who isn’t a fan of this machine. The light is way too strong. I actually measured each one (and not to get too mathematical) but light is roughly 2 shots, regular (3) and strong is (4.5). I have to say it’s much stronger than I would like. The mock tails are good, a little too sweet though. It uses the water compartment in the rear to make mock tails. Unfortunately, the volume (amount of liquid) is about 3 shot glasses worth for the mock tail. Definitely add ice…the drinks just taste better with ice.
I don't drink mixed drinks but when I do I'd rather make some myself that way I know I can get it as strong or as weak as I want to I'm in totally in agreement with you. I think this thing would cost way more than just buying bottles of liquor and having them on a Shelf. For the most part I think it's just a novelty gift.

Amazing! We had no idea this existed. Love that you can choose from mocktail to cocktail. Great video!!
If I have to add ice and mix it myself then I don’t need this machine. Lol
That was my first thought. If I got add ice and then pour it into a shaker. I can take the extra few seconds to pour in my own alcohol.
Girl, facts..
What does the machine actually do besides add water to the pods? Like couldn't you just dump the mixer powder into a glass and add water and alcohol?

@@monicarenee7949sounds like it's working better with you doing the mixing and not having to clean the machine afterwards

Stupidest machine ever
Did you NOT watch the video??!! Anyway, it's genius.

I just got this for Christmas! I’m excited to use and try new flavors.
Me too!!!
Lol she started talking fast 🤣 sounds like that sip done kicked in I'm fixing to purchase that machine ASAP😊
I first tried this at my sisters house last Thanksgiving. I Just got the Premium version and I love it!
I've been looking into this device. Thanks for the tip about double-piercing. This might have to be a late birthday present for myself.
What’s the double piercing tip?
Witches brew was beautiful (looking) the mock tail tastes great but the vodka is very strong. I wish the machine could be calibrated to have the light be one shot, regular (2), etc etc
Great video girl! I was wondering if this gave you a strength option. I’m definitely buying now. Also great info afterwards, I never knew there was a subscription. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it lets you choose between mocktail, light, regular and strong
ms turner thank you i been looking for this machine my wife is going crazy about how to use it and you came thru in the clutch
Thanks for the video! What's the difference between Premium and Professional series?
Me and my siblings got my mom this for Christmas this video helps alot
Was watching this while setting mine up now having a drink it’s everything u said !!
Got mine on Wednesday can’t wait to try it out . Got my alcohol today☺️
Just scored one on FB marketplace for $150. Great video to watch to see how to use. 😊
Got one for Christmas loving it
We just got one, thinking of returning it. I just don’t get it. Thought it would eliminate having to shake my martini but it doesn’t. Still trying to figure out what it does.
I hope you arent shaking your gin martinis
Someone gave it to me as a gift and I didn’t find it super useful. But I’m thinking if I have a party it would be great for people to choose their own mixed drinks.
Thanks for this. Going to get ours unboxed and setup tonight!
It's really neat but for $350....even on sale for $299....I'll mix my own.
Hi, do you put in tap water or drinking water in the back? Thanks
WOW! I just saw a commercial for this machine. I want one!!!
Got mine! Love it!
What?! Who knew? This is what I need in my life. Awesome, informative video…thanks!
Right?! 😂
So MANY of the episodes are bangers
I just bought a black and decker one. Black Friday deal. $100 off. It’s a gift. I hope it works.
Straight to the point
What about drinks that require more than one alcohol… like Long Island Iced Tea? does it pull all 3 alcohols?
Yes it does
They aim to make more money from capsules, you buy the machine once but you continue to buy capsules, I completely respect it, don't get me wrong, it's a good idea. But there is something on my mind, can't we add passionfruit juice to one of the bottles on the side and then mix it? Do we really need to buy these capsules?
What brand spirit do you buy? Does it matter as far as taste?
Amazing video. Amazing Tips. I just got mines in. Looking forward to it.
Their promo video shows drinks bring made in different glass sizes.. is there an option to choose the glass size ? What if my drink spills over ?
great video but what do you mean about spilling issues?
How does this work with drinks like a margarita that require Tequila and triple sec?
Does the mock tail just empty the cup into the glass or does it add water too?
Do you really needs the pods or its not necessary get those pods ?thanks
How long does the liquor last once placed in the machine
Great, informative video. Would be a great, fun machine to have for a vacation home or just entertaining. Thank you for sharing.
Just purchased! Can’t wait to use!
Is it pretty sweet or what?? I might get one.
Do you still use it? Is it any good?
@@jeromedawson1753 yes, I absolutely use it! I’m not the best when it comes to making mixed drinks, so this whole setup is perfect for me !
It's been 2 years, do you still love this?
Great video but I've bartended for 15+ years and I'd prefer a jigger, shaker, fresh fruit and or fruit juice, liquor and we are good to go!
Can you just buy the capsule and mix with water and add a shot?
The price of the pods are a rip off £2.50 a pod not to mention the spirits you need to add, I was gonna buy this until I realised it's cheaper to drink out in a bar.
Wow that’s pretty cool.Need more counter space lol
Haha same 😆 I had to get a bar cart for it
If the pods don’t contain alcohol how would the margarita have triple sec?
Does it always pour an 8oz drink?
How many drinks can u get per pod?
So you can have gin and rum in the same drink?
Could you mix a drink without the capsules?
I am thinking the same thing. I am going to try it
So how does this machine make me a whiskey, sour without me having to crack an egg?
How does a put salt on my glass?
Is one capsule used for each drink? Or how much drinks you can made with one capsule. 3€ extra for each drink sounds too expensive, i hope it is not first option
Yes one is used for each drink
I can't stand gin either. I do fine it's fine in a Singapore sling as it's very slight and that horrid flavour works ... in that one drink! LOL. Thank you for the video.
What I don’t get is that the machine doesnt cool the drinks… I mean… It cost enough to build in a cooling system i would guess. Just make a spiral going through a dry cooler.
Mine arrives tomorrow!
Passionfruit is a favorite of mine as well! Interesting! Thanks, Amanda! Lots of info. and direction!

I make great cocktails myself, but I still like my Bartesian. 🙂

@@paulajohnson420 💯
@@paulajohnson420 Agreed! I even bought mine 2nd hand, worth every penny!
Where is the referral code?
Does it have a water container? Or its just booze + the capsule
It does have a water container in the back
Can u do a shot without the mixers?
What was the price?
You didn’t know what kind of drink you liked before you bought it ?
Yes, on sale is the way to go. 400$ here in Canada.
I think it’s cool but I ended up getting the Margaritraville Blender machine since all I drink mostly are margaritas!
Where is the party at?🎉
i like this better then the bev black & decker one
Very informative, thanks...but goddamn what a headache; so much quicker to mix everything yourself in the size glass of your choice. I don't know...
If you have to add the ice and topping and perhaps any fresh squeezed juices then may as well just make the drink yourself. And I doubt it can make a basic Jack and Coke. Pass.
The website is kind of misleading, or I’m probably reading it wrong, but does it come with the glass bottles empty… or with liquor in them already?
The bottles are empty, you provide the alcohol.
Ummm super awesome. I had no idea such a thing existed.
How much water 2 put in it
The only thing gin is good for is Long Island Ice Tea 🍸 Cheers !!!
I would need the capsule all the time right?
I think Every1 hates gin 😀. They should've done Cognac instead. The margaritas are our favorite as well 🙂. I have the passion fruit flavor, I haven't tried it yet, now I'm tempted. Lol. But I also, haven't tried the uptown rocks yet, which is a gin drink. Lol
Gin is delicious you just have to develop your palate past that of a 4 year old
Put the pods n the fridge it keeps them colder
Nice review 👌
i hate that you gotta use pods instead of regular mixes and juices you can get from the store
I can't get my Unit to fill up the whole glass
Where do u get the capsules from
The best place is on the Bartesian website. They offer subscriptions which makes them cheaper but they sell some on Amazon and Walmart too
@@Mrs_Turner2013 Thank you, my wife is going to love this
How many drinks can you get out of one pod?
1 drink
Great review 👍🏿😂
Why no cognac
🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering the same thing
@@rareutilities4531 rite lol

Too bad they don't have a hot drink mixer, but it probably isn't that popular anymore, like Irish coffee or eggnog, etc...
Can you leave the unused liquor in the bottles when not in use or do you put it back in the original bottle?
Yes you leave the alcohol in there 👍
Chemical Vomit in a Glass. If someone had this Item I would never talk to them again.
some ppl have morals and don’t just down alcohol with no chaser like you they actually drink with style & dignity
Doesn't even chill it? What's the point?
Kind wish I drank more booze drinks so I could get one. 😂
But it's mostly beer for me!
Well put together and understood. I have about three drinks a year, but this will get rebooted to drinking
What is a capshool? I've heard of capsules but never a capshool......
This is amazing. Need😂🙌
so it's like a keurig but with alcohol, cool
Capshuels ?? You say
❤
Welcome to the future anonymous alcoholicers.
So, a warm cocktail? 😬
How many capsules at in each sleeve or box
They sell them in either boxes of 8 or 32
Make your own drink without bothering someone to make it
😊
