About this deal

Sex on the Beach- Another fruity but dangerous favorite. I primarily taste cranberry, peach and pineapple in this one. This pod makes a substantial drink.

Whiskey Sour - Delicious but strong. Perfect on the regular setting. Hints of sours and vanilla. Tiny drink output - a few sips and it's gone (may be for the best since this is a strong drink). Seemingly inexpensive, painted plastic that all too easily can scratch and buff given the high retail price. I enjoy entertaining and cooking and mixing drinks. With this it’s like having help. I show people how to use it and they help themselves. They even make me drinks.Swapping the glass bottles of liquor can prove to be a bit messy since some liquid WILL fall from the lids... this is especially true when exchanging the gin for the vodka depending on the type of drink you're making. On the flip side, being able to select the brand of liquor you prefer in your drinks is a great advantage of this machine. You are in complete control of your liquor selection. Does it makes sense for you financially? You need to figure that out. But it’s like having a bartender at home. I have spent a small fortune, but I was determined to find the best of the best. Here is a breakdown of my favorite drinks pods (for reference my favorite non-Bartesian drinks are: Long Island, Whiskey Sour, Rum Punch, Margarita). Yuletide Hurricane - Also needs to be a year round drink. It tastes like topical Hawaiian punch (for adults). Lots of orange flavor - if you don't like orange or citrus then this is not the drink for you. It has edible glitter which makes this drink visually beautiful. VERY SWEET - made on strong always to balance the sweet. Love!

I also pour cold water into the machine. Sometimes even drop some ice on the reservoir. But it’s not needed. Spiced Coffee- Pretty good. Hints of spice - cinnamon and nutmeg. I would have to be in the mood for this one because I'm not a fan of spiked coffee. I would not buy again. Although a friend of mine loves it with a splash of Bailey's. Makes a decent size drink. Long Island - My favorite bar drink, but not my favorite Bartesian drink (I think because it doesn't have enough 'cola' flavor for me), but it's still delicious. Regular setting is PLENTY strong with this one. Makes a small-medium drink - need 2 pods for a full glass.Look at using a different material than plastic for the outer part of the bottle top. Something that will grip and hold to glass. I shouldn't have to disassemble the bottles just because they are leaking. Sazerac - This drink is slightly sweet and has subtle hints of licorice. All I could taste is whiskey when I made this drink using a regular strength. The flavor comes thorough much better on light, but I'm just not a fan of this one. Small drink output.

Bartesian’s machine requires you to decant your liquor into five (included) glass bottles. After you screw the lid on you flip them over and insert them into labeled holders. There are two deal-breaking issues here. So, overall, it's a great product in theory. I've wasted pods from them spraying all over - without any indication Bart is fixing that. I've had to clean "pod juice" off of other pods because they arrive broken. I've had to go hunting throughout my house looking for a small silicon washer because one fell off which shouldn't. UPDATE: After a few family gatherings, the unanimous favorites are Rum Breeze, Sex on the Beach, Margarita, Long Island, and Whiskey Sour.

Where to Buy the Bartesian Cocktail Maker

In addition to the two liquor wells, the Duet has a water basin. I noticed in the original Bartesian that water goes stale after a few hours. But the Duet’s basin looks more like one you’d find in a Keurig machine, with a complete seal that keeps water fresh for longer. Water is needed to dilute the alcohol and mixer concentrate in the pods, so I found this improvement important. Bartesian Duet review: How it works Cosmopolotan - Lime and Cranberry flavors. A bit tart for me, but pretty good. Decent drink output. If you are reading this review, you likely already understand what this product is. With that, I won't describe the function of the product but focus on my year with the device. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. You can keep the machine plugged in at all times; there is a sleep setting which automatically activates after 30 minutes of not being used, or can be activated from a button on the home screen. To wake it up, just tap the screen.
