Bartesian Premium Flavor Cocktail Machine Capsules

I’m not one to make cocktails for guests but this machine is so quick to use, it works like a coffee maker. It’s as easy as inserting the pod, selecting the strength and serving your guests. The only thing you’ll want to add is some specialty glasses and garnishes to make these cocktails look professionally made.

I purposely wait until we had used the machine for at least 11 months before writing a review. So far the machine has performed marvelously. We have had no issues with the controls or operations of the machine. We have enjoyed a wide variety of cocktails during the year and they have been wonderfully made. We have really enjoyed trying many of the new cocktails from Bartesian. We use filtered water that comes from our water purification system in our Bartesian. This reduces mineral build up and eliminates the chemicals taste that comes from many municipal water treatment systems. Clean water ensures that the taste of your cocktail is consistent each time you use the machine. We have been doing this for our Keurig machines as well. I have performed two cleaning cycles since we have own the machine. It is very easy since the machine has a clean cycle in the menu. I would suggest that you consider using a “very mild” coffee cleaning compound for the water well in the machine. Since we have several Keurig machines, we had the cleaning solution handy. Using a cleaning solution will remove any bacterial build up and will ensure adequate flow is occurring from the water well. Like make coffee machines, the water in the Bartesian sits stagnant, so over time you will need to clean the water well from any bacteria build up. Follow the time schedule recommendations in the manual for cleaning your Bartesian machine. Very Important: Do not use any cleaning solution in the glass alcohol wells. These wells have rubber gaskets and spring pressure valves that may not react well to the solution. Use just water for cleaning the glass alcohol wells. When performing general everyday maintenance, clean the puncher cup in which the pods are placed in as well as the rubber mat before or after each usage. This ensures that your cocktail taste is consistent and this prevent bacteria build up on these parts. We use a countertop ice machine with our Bartesian. I read that having fresh ice for your cocktail ensures a good tasting cocktail every time. Using ice from a refrigerator ice machine is adequate but if the ice sits for any time in the icebox of the refrigerator, the taste of the ice can change. This will affect your cocktail. Each time we want a cocktail, we add water to the countertop ice machine to make fresh ice. When it is not used, we drain the water and follow maintenance for countertop ice machine. This may seem “overkill” but if you ever had a cocktail in a a good bar, they always use freshly made ice. You might want to do the same in your home. Tip 1: We use 8oz cocktail glasses in our Bartesian but we found that the height of the dispenser from the glass created splatters on some occasions. We solved this by getting a “cocktail glass riser”. There is one that is made for Keurig machines and it worked well in reducing splatters from the dispenser. Tip 2: The “Long Island Iced Tea” cocktail pod uses 3 alcohols to mix the drink. When including ice will make this cocktail right at 10 ounces. We use tall 11oz cocktail glasses for this drink to prevent run over. This also applies to any cocktail in which you choose “As a Double” or “Strong”. The Bartesian can make ‘singles’ and ‘doubles’ of every cocktail and some cocktails when made ‘double’ will exceed 8 ounces so you will need a tall cocktail glass. Summary: We have really enjoyed the machine and the cocktails it has made. I hope you find this review helpful.

Realmente funcionó a la perfección y es una excelente opción para dar unos drinks a tus invitados

So far so good. I’m enjoying my cocktails drinks now without the messy stuff.

Très contente de mon achat. Dommage en France les différents parfums pour les capsules sont très limités. Il en existe pourtant beaucoup sur le site Bartesain mais non exportables en France. J'espère pouvoir les trouver bientôt sur Amazon.
