From the beginning before you use the machine you already made up your mind to down talk the machine 😂
Guy made my head spin with all the damn talking he did
Not to mention they keep asking questions they could answer by simply using the machine in front of them. Also saying it’s a “Pregame Machine.” Not sure where they got that idea from.
Exactly
@@Hanoveur it's a*
This guy is annoying!
Not surprised a professional tender does not like this machine 😂
I know right!! 😂
As someone who loves whiskey sours and tried the bartesian version, I can say that this version is not bad at all. Definitely comparable to a generic bar taste. Only bars that really know their whiskey or high end bars' outshine this.
lol yeah i feel like it's hard for a good Bartender to do a fair review of this product lol. Like yes we know its not going to be this amazing cocktail but is it good enough to where i can come home after work and enjoy myself a nice cocktail with little effort? YES!
He should make the drink and allow others to rate the quality of the drink maker. He already had his mind made up due to him being a bartender. Let the people paying for the drink and allow them to have an opinion.
I actually had my mind made up because we shot the review and the files got corrupted so we had to shoot it again. So this video is my second time using the machine and I had already formed an opinion on it.
Such a great idea ! I have a feeling the results would be way different then this video 🤭
Completely agree. This is not a fair shake at all lol.
Honestly you guys, I’m legally blind, I have less then 10% of my vision and I can’t obtain a licenses. However the little vision I do have is centralized.
I had to work my butt off on cocktail making, particularly using a jigger and cutting garnishes.
From my experience as a blind person and someone who has experience with adaptive sport, I honestly believe the way to make bartending accessible to the blind would be to make some kind of braille jigger or for some blind people, the numbering and lines on the jigger being extremely high contrast.
Haha I’ve thought a fair bit about this, cause I honestly don’t believe something like this is the answer, for multiple reasons. Love the video as always guys, great job.
Oh man this is definitely a problem to work on! I love the idea of a Braille Jigger!
Or a Braille pour spout? A couple buttons on the side to only let out the selected amount of liquid. Thinking a jigger would still be an issue to stop at the appropriate line even if it was Braille. But this idea is awesome.
Jordan Tenacé yeah or a hybrid of some kind! I agree though, for some blind people it would be tough even with just the braille on the side. The problem with blindness is that there’s so many different types and you’ll never have a one size fits all. What you could do, that might be a little less complicated is have a sensor that beeps different sounds/ in an order when you hit a line. Kinda like blind hockey.
Or just have a bunch of smaller one size jiggers...but that’s more equipment, let’s brainstorm!
I suggestion that may work today would be get a few japanese jiggers with dedicated measures as I know some are 1/4 & 1/2, 1/2 & 3/4, 1 & 2 oz(the small ones do not have gradient lines at all). Many cocktail bars do this as they have to make drinks quickly and/or in a darkly light room. But ya a braille aspect would be better.
@@stephane.foisy.186 This is a good idea. I am not visually impaired, but if I was the jiggers with a 1/2 oz limit and one with a .75 oz could help a lot. I have a jigger that is a .5 oz on one end and a .75 oz on the other. I am sorry for blind folks that it is such a challenge to make drinks at home.
nobody:
barfly: QUARE RIG
One thing you can do to help with the dilution/cooling factor is store the pods in the fridge.
You convinced me to want to buy one! I had no intention of wanting one of these machines but after stumbling on your review, I now want one. For me, I am of the exact opposite opinion on almost every point that you are. 1St: I do not believe anyone buys any k-cup coffee machine for the flavor and quality. You get it for speed and convenience for “good enough” coffee. 2nd: Why buy a machine that only chills water? 3rd: I would rather have a machine where I can pick my favorite brands of alcohol since this is about personal taste, not what another person feels is the right taste for everyone. 4th: I like the different alcohol strengths since my wife and I like many of the same drinks but at different strengths of alcohol. 5th: The one thing I do agree with you is that the ice in the glass is good enough when at home. It is for my home drinks when I make them. 6th: This machine now adds variety to my quick, at home, drink. I personally like that. Great review! Thank you!
that's great. We think DrinkWorks is the better machine but you should pick the one that stands out to you :)
I agree with you sir! I brought the Bartesian and I love it! I have an extensive sports bar in my home with more liquors than an average bar! Of course, I have a registered bottle of Louis XIII red box, crystal bottle displayed! Besides that It makes it easier for my wife to have her favorite drinks without the hassle. I love it too! Now I don’t have to keep throwing away mixers when they expire!
Agree. I typically am a lazy bartender at home. Scotch, bourbon, martini or simple marg. This will add some variety and hopefully please the wife so she has a drink while I have my scotch😁
Edit: Have had for 2 weeks and really like this machine. Aside from having to switch gin and rum on occasion it makes a great drink and have variety that didn’t realize we were missing. Negative is how fast we’ve gone through booze since getting but that should slow down, hopefully😁
These machines are so weird. I just don't really get them. There are so many pre-made alcoholic drinks you can buy that would be better. Why even go the cocktail route at that point?
You rather have your own favorite brands of alcohol but then the mixer pod is terrible so you’re bringing down the quality of those spirits you like way down. The rule of thumb with any cocktail: your cocktail is as weak (in taste not strength) as it’s weakest link ingredient. A margarita made with Dekuyper Triple Sec and Don Julio Tequila is going to be worse than a Margarita made with Hornitos Tequila and Cointreau.
6:02 and he finally makes a damn cocktail!
I think you have missed the target market. This is for the middle of road business hotel that wants to offer drinks to its guest but does not want to hire a bartender. In a previous job I stayed in plenty of hotels where the front desk staff were also in charge of cocktail hour, which usually was just free wine or beer. They’re targeting that market with these machines because it gives the illusion of offering real cocktails without the expense.
That is true, we do mention that in the DrinkWorks review, and overall we think the DrinkWorks is the better machine of the two. How much is gained from bringing your own alcohol into the mix? DrinkWorks uses brand name alcohol, but more importantly, they chill the drink before dispensing.
@@freepour Yeah totally agree on which is better.
@@teca5967 Yes i see it also so - we have build a kitchen build-in machine with real ingredients can make up to 70 cocktails - so these is an alternative for a bartender on small budget hotels and so on.
I like the Baretesian because I get to choose my favorite spirits - quality and brand -. It’s also a fun party favor to use when you have friends over or for yourself when you’re home after work and want a quick drink. Prep time to finished cocktail is only about 5 mins, with the Drinkworks it's a good 15-20mins since the machine has to cool the water. On top of that Drinkworks requires filters and cO2 in order to make drinks. What if you run out of filters? or your Co2 runs out at 10pm? You're done for the night. With Bartesian you simply refill liquor and water, add ice and you're ready to go. Neither will ever replace a bartender or the bar experience but their fun for home use. That said, I’ve been to uber-exclusive speakeasies in NYC where a mixologist makes an amazing $21 cocktail and to neighborhood bars in bubblefuck nowhere USA and had trashy $6 drinks. These machines are conveniently somewhere in the middle.
Wow this dude is torture.
Considering that usually people have just some friends over and they know what they like to drink, I really don't see the point of those machines. Better to invest in a good home bar as mentioned.
That machine is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The answer to a question nobody was asking.
exactly, it's so annoying!
AngryCocktails what? We’re not all bartenders, we were asking!
@@mysisterisafoodie Were you really asking "how can I have at home a poor imitation of cocktails that I could make better on my own after a few tries?"
Paul-Antoine Fae we are not all purists. If you ask a Neapolitan person if the mass producing pizza ovens used in... say, Dominos or Pizza Hut are necessary they would say “So you want a poor imitation of pizza that you could make better on your own after a few tries?” The point is, the same way people don’t want to be pizzaiolos, I don’t want to be a bartender. You have to admit: Yes. there is a need for the craft of bar tending in the world. But, there is also a target market that will appreciate the mechanization and simplification of the process by eliminating long lists of ingredients through pre-made pods, recipes and time as well.
@@mysisterisafoodie But the amount of effort needed to make a pizza is incomparable to the one needed to make a whisky sour! It takes forever! I swear to you, it'll take you 3 tries, so that combines to 30, 45 min, to make a decent (simple) cocktail. To make a perfect one will take years... but that's a purist quest!
To Chill, just throw some ice cubes in the water compartment 10 minutes before you want to make a drink. Throw a couple ice cubes in the cup you are using, and you are good to go.
Smart!
Yea to play the role both of these guys are playing as drink specialists it really not that hard to simply add ice to the water ahead of time smh
@@douglassmcclellan8424 lol. You mad you didn't think of it first... Don't be sad lol.
Never thought about the ice cubes in the water compartment. I still shake citrus drinks with mine though, I think it just makes it taste better overall
At a party this will be great. Drinkworks doesn't even allow you to choose your type of alcohol. A drink from the bar doesn't even remain cool. Bartesian for me, thanks tho! I've ordered 3 so far and people love it.
I feel like it's hard for a good Bartender to do a fair review of this product. I don't think the buyers are expecting this to be making amazing cocktails but is it good enough to where i can come home after work and enjoy myself a nice cocktail with little to no effort? Yeah! This thing is pretty cool.
Bartesian is definitely the better machine. Not even sure what spirits are being used in the drinkworks pods.
Don't do a competition. Just give it to your blind listener.
If i getting a drink at a bar means i have to listen you, bartesian wins. I got one already xD
I got this machine a year ago and it stop working what should i do
@@donnahargrove4721 buy another one from amazon and return the broke one to amazon get your money back plus a new machine....Thats what I did.
The whiskey sour came out, for you, too sweet with a weird taste; I would have liked you to make another on the stronger setting to see if it would taste better...actually I would have liked you to do several tests of all alcohols/drinks to see if any were good. This review was mostly about your opinion that these machines are a wast of time and money without a true testing of all it could do. As with many reviews I watch on UA-cam too much talk and not enough testing.
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
Call me lazy, I love this machine and their margaritas.
I actually just got one of these last week and we absolutely LOVE it. Its incredibly easy and I recommend it to everyone. This guy just salty lol
I can see this being great for people with disabilities, not quite as much as the other robot bartender as you have to shake some of these drinks. But still taking out some of those steps for somone with muscle weakness, reduced dexterity, poor vision etc could be a huge help in allowing them to make cocktails at home!
Always love the reviews!
This guy is absolutely exhausting
I like this machine a little better then the drink works machine because I can choose my personal favorite whiskey, rum, vodka, or tequila. But for the price I think it should chill the ice.
That's a ton of sacrificed countertop space just to avoid having to measure liquids myself... which seems to be literally the only thing this is doing for you.
Come on now Machine is a wonderful invention who wants to spend all that time trying to measure this and a dash of that one and 19 seconds you can have a cocktail me to perfection
“..that being said.. who wants this bad boy..?”
🤣
How are you going to make a long island if gin and rum have to share a spot? Could have made an extra space for gin/rum
I used mine for the first time yesterday and my margarita had a weird taste as well and was super super tart. Couldn’t even finish my drink so I believe this guy.
Did you take it back?
You're misinterpreting the whole concept. You never gave it a chance. You said it's too many steps. The shaking steps are the easy steps. The portioning aspect is the hard and long step, it removes that part of trying to fit mixers into the fridge and making a mess of pulling those out and pouring the drink. I know for a FACT that this is the most annoying part making a drink as I've done it at my parties ALL the time when people want drinks. It takes me away from what I want to do, like play games, watching something. I'm constantly making drinks for people, and it's annoying. If my guests can make there own drinks, that would save me SOOOO MUCH time and allow people to enjoy beverages without the hassle of pulling out every mixing thing and making my counters super sticky.
My only problem is that the pods are way too expensive
@@jebronekitty as a former bartender; he wanted this to fail. I gave up listening him a few minutes in. I just wanted to see how it worked.
@@williamallen2503 agreed not a great review. But he is correct on taste. We have family that uses these and as a cocktail enthusiast just nothing these machines make taste good. Just like a margarita mix tastes nothing like from scratch margaritas. It’s like comparing a cheat keurig cup of coffee to a premium pour over coffee. But less palatable
you might as well buy some premixed cocktails then
Loved the phrase going to post this on a Monday lol
Was supposed to but the schedule had other ideas.
Not sure of what I should take away from a review of one beverage prepared on this machine. And, requiring ice cubes doesn't seem like a big deal especially when its competitor requires nearly a half hour to cool the water. Would be nice to hear your opinion of some of the more higher rated drinks prepared. Also not sure why you were surprised that the beverage was cold after adding ice cubes.the
what bar do you work at that chills the spirits? Most bars use ice in the same way........ even mixers out of the gun are not cold.
We were comparing it to the DrinkWorks that makes a consumable drink straight out of the machine, chilled and all. If you need to add ice, shake the drink, stir it etc, you might as well just pour it too, right?
I feel like the drink works is a solid device but the pods need improvement. Which I think is a ideal problem. I think if drink works can get their pods tasting better and get them balanced out it would be a even better experience.
I love the Shirt. Maybe you could make a video featuring different Mai Tais
This is like that episode of TNG where the guy from the past said "Your computer here fixed about the best Martini I've ever had" ....but I guess we're a ways away from replicators! I'll stick with making my own drinks for now :P
Ha yes! Love that scene
Great episode, that guy’s interactions with Data were great
😂 this thing is awesome!!! Just got it about to make another 😂
Is the new product called the Bev by Black & Decker
Less talking more drinks.
I received one of these for a gift and am looking to return it. While I consider myself an accomplished bartender I can appreciate the convenience of this concept (assuming you don't enjoy making drinks). My question/concern is how are you making a true margarita when the pods contain no alcohol? You add tequila from the machine bottles to the mix but there's no Cointreau. Same for Negroni, the machine adds gin but there's no Campari or sweet vermouth. Gin martini (same no dry vermouth), etc, etc. I assume it's using non-alcoholic substitutes for the additional alcoholic ingredients outside of the spirits that are in the 4-5 jars you add alcohol to? If that's the case then it's hard to believe that while the taste can be acceptable to many you're not really getting the cocktail as it's meant to be made. The dilution discussion was on point but not sure I heard whether or not the straight-up drinks were over diluted when you put them into a shaker to chill them down (i.e. martini, cosmo, etc.)?
Maybe instead of putting just tequila in the tequila bottle, you can add all the other ingredients in the bottle as well??
@@libertybellafonte Interesting idea however the ratios are still likely to be off. In the end this machine is a good choice for some (those who like the convenience of say a Keurig or Nespresso machine) but I personally found that it was way to cumbersome and limited. Stirring or shaking a drink is pretty simple and straightforward and having the control on all of the ingredients is, I believe, the way to go. Most of the drinks that Bartesian has don't require a lot of skill to make. A Negroni is equal parts Campari, gin and sweet vermouth. A martini is even simpler. I ended up returning the machine but did try the Perfect Drink Pro drink scale/app. It's still a manual process but allows you to have a huge database of drinks and negates the need to measure everything as the scale takes over that job.
I mean, most people just buy margarita mix (which is non alcoholic) and mix it with tequila. We don't give a crap, we just want the convenience lol.
I start off with good vision but occasionally drink myself blind before the session ending...
I would so be a man servant! Well I mean personal bartender to people that would be such a dope job. I'll even dress all fancy
It probably needs a fixed amount of liquid to dilute whatever's in the pod, so it probably balances the volume with booze and water. Strong = high booze to water ratio, or not water. Week = more water than booze. Moc = no booze. Volume is constant.
that's exactly what it does
I always laugh at these reviews when people crap on it because "you can just make the same thing yourself for cheaper". That is the whole point. I don't WANT to mix my own. I just don't have that kind of time nor do I want to put that kind of effort into learning how to mix a half decent drink, especially when I have a few people over who also want drinks. In the end, you get a decent drink that is comparable to a drink at a basic local bar in the comfort of your home.
It's too bad they discontinued the Drinkworks machine, it was a lot better
I wanted to buy the newer drinkworks that doesn't chill, it's smaller than the one you tested, used less power, I was thinking for tailgating; less stuff to pack in the car, but now, just months after releasing the smaller version they are going out of business. so now I am looking at the Bartesian for the same reason, not for home use but for tailgating, which if Kurig had pushed that element, maybe still in business
I'm a deciding between this and drinkworks for Christmas. Leaning toward Bartesian due to the drinks being more customizable.
drinkworks it the better machine, in our opinion.
Agreed on the vodka/ tequila note.
Edit: set the record straight.. analog>digital. Love your honesty. Is there any substitute for fresh Citrus?
No. Don’t care what Marius thinks he proved in our lemon video there’s no real sub. Well you can freeze it but that’s as far as I’d go
This video aged like milk because DrinkWorks just went out of business/production today.
They refunded all of us our money back so we got the machine for free
Guys no matter how many of your favorite spirits you can use for this the mixer pod is terrible so you’re bringing down the quality of those spirits you like way down. The rule of thumb with any cocktail: your cocktail is as weak (in taste not strength) as it’s weakest link ingredient. A margarita made with Don Julio Tequila and Llord’s Triple Sec and is going to be worse than a Margarita made with Hornitos Tequila and Cointreau.
basically in my opinion, those machine just will be good at booze cocktail like negroni or boulevardier, which is a huge disadvantage (and one more thing, im not sure it will good, it just safer for the consumer)
It’s not to replace a bartender, it’s for home use and just to have some fun.
A machine can't hold a conversation, give recommendations, or insight into cocktails/spirits. So nope you're good.
These things replace a real life bartender like a jukebox replaces a live band.
Bartenders don’t care about your conversations.-from a bartender
"a couple few months ago" I love it lol
What’s your opinion on the mixologiq.
Have not tried it. It looks, uhm, interesting. Also, looks very expensive and not really for home use. But if anyone from Mixologiq is watching... send us one :)
Oh my god it’s so sweet!! 😂 I am on my second.. and I just want the alcohol to go down.. and that it does!!!
This is the most negative and least unbiased thing I’ve ever watched. Like, you know you went in wanting to hate this, are you surprised you hated it?
We were just dissapointed, at the higher price and coming from a company that makes industrial machines we thought it would be better than DrinkWorks from Kuerig, but it's not. Or at least that is our opinion.
🤣
You mean biased right
It should have more slots for different spirits and sodas and a built in icemaker.
And a Bluetooth speaker
@@orgasmatron4296 And Facial Recognition.
The Bartesian is fine just like it is there’s some people you just cannot satisfy they’ve always got something negative to say about everything it beats the hell out of going to a bar and spending all that money or trying to form your own bar at home step back and take a look at yourself
@@bonnie-gaylhorton8363 I wholeheartedly agree with you. The want the Sun, Moon & Stars...
@@bonnie-gaylhorton8363 Believe or not, I saw one guy's review of it and he was just being stupid. He has a very prominent youtube channel about bartending and he was just being stupid.
Is giveaway over? I’m looking for the IG post
Starts Monday
Thanks for the review. Why the giveaway? May we vote to Give it to the blind follower you mentioned?
That’s assuming that person wants this 😂
I was thinking the same - give it to the person who needs one, i.e. the blind person (whom I’m sure would appreciate one)! Even if it’s kind of... it’s better than not being able to make a cocktail? 🥃
I love the idea of reviewing something, shit talking it, and then doing a giveaway 😂.
Although I did learn about a person who might truly benefit from a machine like this. Hadn't considered that before.
I think “shit talking it” is unfair, I think I gave a fair review, if it was awesome I’d say that too. Maybe if I do enough of these companies will actually do enough research to make these machines be awesome, instead of putting subpar products into the marketplace
@@freepour you're right. Shit talk implies you're biased but this was an honest impression. Still makes for a tough giveaway though!
Any machine with pods I would not accept as a quality.
Now if it was a bottle dispenser.
You could program where each bottle is placed. Then I could dispense the proper amount of liquor or makes thereof into your shaker. Then you could add your own fresh juices, bitters, Cointreau, Compari...etc that would be okay.
It would need a keypad and voice recognition also so that you could type in or ask for the drink that you want. Perhaps even attach it to the POS machine???
It would stop over and under pouring. Could even tell you onscreen the additional ingredients to add and how to finish the drink.
This is the best home drink machine! The drinks are delicious! You are trying to compare this to a professional bartender made drinks with fresh ingredients!
Most drinks are on the rocks anyway so why would you need a machine to chill water?
Besides without ice in the glass the drink will become warm in less than a minute from the heat of your hand!
It is not much effort to putting ice in a glass or shaker!
What bartender ever made an alcoholic drink without using ice?
This is for home bars not commercial bars nor is it meant to replace professional bartenders!
However, it is convenient to fill a glass with ice, pop in a capsule and within seconds have a delicious drink! Especially, multi-ingredient drinks!
This is just my opinion! Don’t hate!
I love your answer to this video
I love my Bartesian....
I've had two Keurig Drinkworks in a year and both stopped working due to a chilling issue. Dont get it.
that's too bad
The post isn't up on Instagram.....right?
Not yet
So fricken cool. I want one 😭
We are back to Quaregg, aren't we, Leandro? Love you!
Always
I love mine 🥂
I love mine too he tripping that dam DreamWorks takes to much energy and you only get whatever liquor inside them lil ass pods so nah my Bartisan is the best ... I think he worried about being replaced he just don't know this sold more Bartisans then hurt it
@@iiLoveHarryStyles13 My thought exactly !
It all depends on what the usage is for, and of course, your own preferences. but for quick and easy drinks, we think the DrinkWorks wins hands down. No need to fill or exchange bottles, it chills the drink, and you can make a lot of different cocktails much quicker than the Bartesian. But, of course, if you only make a few staple cocktails, and you prefer to choose your own brand of alcohol then the Bartesian might be the one for you. It does require more set up and maintenance though.
I love the idea you had. Lets have a drink before we go drinking. Such a simple and easy philosohy to live by.
It will NEVER replace you my brother. I've been in culinary for almost 3 decades. The personality, knowledge and experience is UNTOUCHABLE
It's not meant to replace bartenders. Bartenders tend bars at bars not at peoples homes. I wouldn't even say it's for people that are too lazy to make their own drinks, I think the idea is for people to have mixed drinks at home that are consistent instead of having the drink be strong or too sweet one time and maybe not so strong or sweet the next time. Plus all the alcohol is already loaded on the machine so you just pop in a pod and press a button and have a drink. The main thing to review about this machine is if it makes a good tasting drink or not, trying to debate whether or not it can replace a human bartender is stupid since this is made specifically for home use.
It would be better if these machines had more complicated drinks. A whisky sour is simple enough that the most amateur can make it, even if you just get a bottle of sour mix.
it is all about convenience. For the same reasons I get my groceries delivered, oil changed at a mechanic and my house cleaned by a service, I will be getting this (and I only have a drink or two MAYBE every 3 or 4 months)
All I can say is that The quality of the booze makes the drink. Bartesian is no difference. I tried some gin drinks and changed up the gin. Huge difference. Drumshanbo gin was way better than Tanqurey.
I think No! Bartender in a club have there charme and this will be forever. But for the quick and dirty house-party i think such system works. We have developed a Minibar for the kitchen and it can handle up to 12 ingredients out of the bottle to make over 70 Cocktails and Longdrinks. It is like a replikator from StarTrek - but without voice recognition on this time :-)
Great video as always, as someone who rarely drinks and is always the dd, I do love the mocktail options, good to see they haven't died as a fad.
Put ice in the reservoir and top it off often do the water stays chilled. Welcome to the stone age.
Um......dude how did I not think of that!
What advice would you have for cocktail machine developers? You said you preferred it to chill the drink. What else do you think it needs to do that it doesn’t?
I’d tell ya, but why would I give my ideas away for free? What I should do is partner with a company to develop one 😂 I’m happy to come on as a consultant should one of these companies come seeking advice LOL
Why don’t you float that idea in your next Freepour video ;-)
Wow
Gin and tequila should have to share.
I got this one for my game nights but the drinkworks does seem better
This is not for pro mixologist but for those who like to drink but do not have all the knowledge and this is a home unit not for commercial purposes but if he is to compare it to a commercial unit such as a Mixo Infinity which has proven to be more cost effective and cheaper then a mixologist. Ps these guys have zero clue, but the unit they said to buy is being discontinued and the Bartesian is growing strong, and other companies have partnered up with them suchlike as black and decker
Assuming you also can't do any drinks that call for multiple types of rum....:(
True, can't do that either.
@@freepour The only reason I could see getting one of these is like if you have a lot of Parities and didn't want to be stuck behind the bar the whole time. Like in College days....but now, half the fun of a party is making people drinks. Ha
Look, this isn't meant to replace some veteran bartender in an upscale bar...that's not its purpose. What I will say is, the alcohol you use makes a HUGE difference. Are they the best drinks I've ever had? No and I didn't expect them to be. I bought this so that if I want a margarita after a hard day, I can have one in seconds. If I have people over, they can make their own because it's a one-stop shop. It's a machine!! Keurig coffee isn't the best coffee, but people like the convenience. Same thing here.
I think it’s funny that so many people take the title of this video to heart! The title is clickbait you guys should be used to this stuff by now. But I will say this, the Ready To Drink cocktail market is EXPLODING right now and they make GREAT DRINKS. There’s no reason a company can’t do that instead of lazily giving you all the worst product to take your money. And if people like me don’t hold them accountable they never will
Which one is better?
we recommend the drinkworks machine, of the two
How a bartender doesn’t understand they asked for a shaker with ice for the cosmopolitan because they’re not pouring the drink directly into a glass of ice. Cosmopolitan needs to be chilled, hence the shaker
You shouldn't review if you are biased. People are never going to stop going to bars but no one can go to a bar 7 days a week. It's just for home use. Like you can't go to a restaurant 7 days a week that's why you cook at home.
Yeah but just because you cook at home doesn’t mean you need to make TV Dinners 😂
@@freepour Bartesion makes great drinks❤️ far better than the drinkworks,it’s nothing TV dinner about it…..I put top shelf liquor in mines! And as far as needing the machine,I live in the country, I’m 30 minutes from a bar , I’m not a bartender I love my machine it is the greatest decision I ever made perfect for my home bar.I actually bought both Bartesion & drinkworks
You are absolutely correct and that’s the whole reason for the machine,I 100% agree with you as a consumer, that is the reason I bought, on top of not wanting to catch Covid!! Best decision I ever made!
Is it just me or can you definitely make a cocktail blind? Just need a good setup. Hell a sighted person can likely make a cocktail blindfolded.
Just take a shot if ur pre gaming lol
You can put ice is the water tank problem solved I can control the alcohol levels instead of focused to drink whatever liquor dream work put in
It's a Keurig. I'd never use one. I prefer talking with a bartender or waiter about my drink. I prefer the human touch.
I'm not blind myself so my Idea maybe a bit naive, but isn't it possible to measure the ingredients with a "talking" scale and Just Shake/stir the Cocktail If needed? You would propably achive a better result than with one of those machines.
Yeah I guess it would be, but I’m not blind so I don’t know if that would be easier
Instead of shutting vodka it should be only clear spirits
Why is he so mad
Drinkworks was discontinued!
Yeah for good reason 😂
Oooooh another "Will this replace me?"! All of the other machines and bottled cocktails were terrible... surely this one will be better. 😏
Actually some of the bottled cocktails I tasted were really good :)
Wow. This didn't age well. Drinkworks seems to be out now. Nice to find an honest review for once. I just purchased the Bev, have you reviewed that? It's a nice idea but, poorly executed and like you, many of my guests hated the drinks. They do taste funny and yes, i still find myself doing lots of work and thinking I should just make this myself. Coupled with the fact that Bartesian drinks are super small and get you messed up at the medium setting after just a few drinks, it's just a huge paper weight. I'm afraid they're not there yet on this concept.
I feel like the best solutions to disability are usually “if you had enough money.....”
Drink works sucks. To chill the water just add ice to the water area. You don't need to shake it
Even if you have a legitimate reason to want a cocktail making machine, are the cocktails it makes better than what you can buy pre-mixed in a can or bottle?
The fact of the matter is that a lot of bottled and canned cocktails are much better and these machines could be better. There is a market for these for sure and I think a legitimate one, buuut for some reason the companies making these machines aren’t doing then necessary research to make something that actually fills a need
