Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine and Margarita Maker - Compact Home Bartender Mixologist Drink Mixer with 2 Glass Spirit Bottles - Automatic Machine Creates Premium Cocktails and Mocktails in Seconds

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.

I love the Bartesian!! I first used it at a family members house a couple years ago. I loved it and had to have one so I waited for a sale and pounced. It's so easy to use. Multiple drink options and so yummy! It also has accessories you can purchase separately (which I did, like rim sugar). You pick which drink you want and the machine scans the barcode on the pod and knows what alcohol to mix in. Easy to store, fits on your countertop or a cabinet anywhere you have a plug close. Easy to clean. All the drinks taste great, though I have my favorites of course!

Making drinks is easy peazy. Good choices too. Prices for the cocktail mix seem a little high. Hope that comes down a little. I think you have to buy pods online.

Absolutely love this machine. I purchased it for myself as a Christmas gift. I’m an occasional drinker. But when I do have a drink, it has to be good in taste. As well as being balanced in the different mixers and alcohols. This does all of that. This is the professional grade. It is very well-made. I got this on Black Friday for 299 which usually runs 499 for the professional grade. The difference between the professional grade and the basic Bartesian is that the professional grade allows you to use four different liquors. Gin/rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey. So for a few bucks more you can make almost any drink you wanna make. FYI, don’t try to make coffee or anything in this machine other than what it calls for it will shut down. As far as performance, durability functionality, etc. it’s just a beautiful very easy Machine that anyone can use. It’s all digital. So when you put your pod in it, it will ask you the strength of the drink. If you want it strong regular, etc.. It’s very customizable to the buyer. So for me, I bought the sex on the beach pods And just to give it a little kick. I add the “summer edition” Red Bull after I make the drink through the bartesian. I add the summer edition Red Bull to the sex on the beach and it is awesome. But whether you add anything to it or tweak it after you have made it or before you make it it. It’s good regardless of whether you add anything in it. But again everything is labeled as to what goes and what. You wanna follow the instructions so if you want to add anything into your drink to tweak it whether it’s before and or after you make the drink, you wanna put it in the cup and not the machine. Anyway, I never do reviews, but I loved this so much I wanted to share. If you’re hesitant because of the price tag, trust and believe that I am a very stingy person and I am very particular about where my money goes and this is gonna last me for a long time and it’s going to be great on holidays and hosting, etc.. I literally don’t have to do anything. The drinks make themselves this thing pays for itself over and over again.

Wife loves the machine and she says it works perfectly. It is easy to use, looks great in designated area, and is easy to clean. So far, so good!!

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.

We absolutely love this machine. It has worked great for many months and was a hit during the holidays. There are so many different flavours to try. Just make sure to empty the bottles if you know you will not be using it for a few days. We also travel with our Bartesian on vacation as it’s way less expensive than purchasing drinks at bars or restaurants. Amazing purchase so far!

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

La recomiendo al 100
