Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine, 750 mL Glass Spirit Bottles, with LCD Display with Intuitive Controls

I absolutely love this Barista cocktail machine! It makes perfectly balanced drinks in seconds — just insert the capsule, press a button, and you get a bar-quality cocktail every time. The flavors are smooth, consistent, and taste like something you'd order at a restaurant or lounge. It's perfect for entertaining guests, date nights, or just relaxing after a long day. Everyone who visits wants to try it, and it definitely becomes a conversation piece. The machine is simple to use, quick to clean, and doesn't take up much counter space. I also like that there's no guesswork or measuring — everything comes out just right. If you enjoy cocktails but don't want the hassle of mixing drinks, this machine is a must-have!

I bought this as a gift for my husband right, but forgot to buy the pods when I first got it 😂. So when we finally got a chance to use it, I was fixing a hot tea for myself. Husband says "I'm about to try my machine." No sooner than I grabbed my tea cup and honey, his drink was finished being made. He loves that it takes absolutely no time for the drinks to be made, and the drinks are actually pretty good. I love the fact that you can adjust how strong you want your drink to be with ease. The stand is sold separately, but worth buying!

I love to host friends, but I don't really like to keep a whole lot of mixers in the house. I find that the large bottles take up too much room, get sticky, and expire before they can be used. The Bartesian cocktail capsules allow for us to mix up fancy drinks without the mess or hassle. I enjoy being able to try drinks that I normally wouldn't lean toward. The Bartesian machine itself looks classy, so I don't mind keeping it sitting out on my buffet table. I need to learn to garnish my drinks to make them look pretty, but this system definitely takes the guesswork out of measuring ingredients.

I am doing a review on the Bartesian Premium Cocktails on Demand. It's like having your own bartender in your house. You do not have to know how to mix the drinks. The machine will tell you what to do. You pull up the handle at the top of the machine and add your own selection of drink mix in a capsule. Then pull the handle back down. There is a control panel on the top with a dial. Turn the dial any which way and it will wake the machine up. When you put the pod in the machine it read the code on it to know what you want to make. The first thing you need to do is let it know which spirits you put in which bottle. They are labeled as port 1 and port 2. It will show you the initials like V is for Vodka, T is for Tequilla, R is for Rum, G is for Gin, and W is for Whiskey. Oh, I forgot to tell you. There are two bands with these names on them. You are supposed to put them on the two bottles and let show the name of the spirit that you have in each bottle. The next thing you do is choose the strength of the drink you want to make. There are four listed. They are Mocktail, Light, Regular, or Strong. On the back of the machine is a water reservoir with a lid. After you choose which strength you want to make just press on Mix on the control panel. It will then dispense the right amount of spirit, contents of the capsule, and water. Oh, don't forget to put the glass under the dispenser to hold your drink. It is so easy to use. It is really just one, two, and three. That's it. Bartesian also makes The Vodka Lovers Collection Cocktail Mix in Capsules. It holds six capsules with two of each mix. The mixes are Amaretto Sour, Lemon Drop, and Cosmopolitan. It also has The Margarita Lovers Collection Cocktail Mix. It also consists of six drink capsules. It consists of two drink mixes of each Margarita, a Blackberry Margarita, and a Mango Margarita. The machine comes with clear concise instructions and it is really easy to clean too. All I have are pros with this machine. I can't think of any cons. It is made very well and makes the best drinks.

This is a duel cocktail maker and it's awesome! It is made similar to the famous pod coffee makers. It's easy to set up. It comes with 2 glass bottles to hold the alcohol. Also, 2 bands are included to place on the bottles, to make sure you can identify what spirits are in the bottles! It has a nice weight to it so it's not made cheap. It comes with a detailed instruction booklet but it is very simple to use. Insert the pod, chose your strength and then out comes the cocktail! The pods for the cocktails are sold separately, but this machine came with margarita lovers and vodka lovers collections. I love cosmopolitans, so I tried that one first. Taste pretty good! For best results, it states to store the pods in the fridge before using, especially if you do not put ice in your cocktails. The glass bottles are easy to clean and can be cleaned in the dishwasher along with the capsule holder and water reservoir. This machine has a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. It takes up about the same space as a pod coffee maker, so unless you use it often you will need some shelf room or cabinet space to store it. Highly recommend!

I owned the first Bartesian with 4 reservoirs and though this was a pretty good price for a reduction in reservoirs. This Duet gets the job done and can do all capsules except the Long Island Iced Tea. He reduced footprint and cheaper price made this decision well worth it. The screen is easy to use and the cleaning procedures are all the same. I will note that this version does have the updated reservoirs that don't leak at all, compared to the original Bartesian. Give this unit a try.

I received this for free in exchange for a review. This Bartesian drink maker is actually really cool. It's a bit intimidating at first reading all the directions to set it up for first use but once you are past that it's as easy as making a cup of coffee with a pod. This machine has 2 glass containers for alcohol of your choice based on types of pods you get for it. It came with a 6 pack of margarita pods 2 each of 3 different flavors and a 6 pack of vodka pod mixers 2 each of 3 different flavors. You buy the alcohol and fill the glass dispensers put whatever flavor drink pod you want in the machine and turn the dial on top to select your options then press the dial and it makes it! The cost of these pods is about $15 for 6 plus cost of alcohol and buying the machine depending on which one you buy at first I calculate it to be similar in cost for the first 25 drinks as you would pay at a restaurant but the next time around it would probably be about half the cost so it will save you money in the long run. I definitely recommend it to save time and money and to have the ability to make multiple drinks quickly when entertaining guests without missing out on the party!

Bartesian Duet is perfect for birthday parties and any holiday you have. It's easy to set up and use. They have these capsules that has all the drink ingredients in it except of course for the alcohol needed. It's well made and made all the drinks as they should be made. My friends and family really liked using it when I had them over for a get together of chatting and some drinking. It was a blast and made it so much easier for them to choose which drink pod they wanted and was perfect for each individual person to add the amount of alcohol they wanted. I have some friends that like it heavy on the alcohol but I like it very light, almost no alcohol in my drinks. This machine is perfect for all choices as you add the alcohol yiu want. The capsules are very machine pacific so you'd have to buy the ones that fit it. The alcohol can be whatever as you add that amount separately. My friends and family had a blast with using it and some are buying their own. I recommend this machine, it makes mixing drinks quick and easy and everyone is happy.

Wow! What a genius idea the Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine is. I had been looking at the Duet bar for a little bit of time and thought I would get one for the holidays when family visits. Thank goodness I did not wait. Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine really does make a perfect cocktail every time. We use our favorite brand of alcohol with the Bartesian Duet branded cocktail mx pods. The machine is so amazing. We can dial up the strength of alcohol  for each pod. The pods are so convenient. No more recipes, buying a bunch of ingredients for a favorite adult beverage. The perfect mix every time. The Duet even suggests the type of glass and to add ice. Beverage choices are no-alcohol-mock-tail, light, regular and strong. No more beverage guessing or mistakes. Each pod has a barcode the Duet reads. Based on the strength of the drink chosen, a specific amount of alcohol will be dispensed. The dispensed alcohol amount is written on the box the flavor pods come in. Bartesian offers an abundance of flavor pods, from traditional to seasonal to creative. The Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine is not heavy at all. It does sit securely and the  Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine is a sharp looking machine on the bar cart. We think the bar mat is a professional touch to the Duet. The selection dial is smooth and the display is clear and clean fonts. Push button selection to choose alcohol. The Bartesian Duet inventors thought of everything. This machine even shuts off by itself within 30 minutes. When you bring home your Bartesian Duet, do read the directions thoroughly. We were so excited to try the machine, we did not. We learned that all the cafes must have liquid in them for properly dispensing pressure for the carafe you're using. We just inserted one carafe and could not figure out why no alcohol was being added to the drink. Insert the carafes straight into the liquid dispenser tube. It is the middle of the top that comes off, not the entire lid. And definitely wash the parts and prime the machine. There are bands that go on the lids to identify which alcohol is in which holder. These are hard to read while inserted in the dispenser. We used our label maker to note the carafe location and alcohol type. We used filtered water and filtered ice. Amazing! This did add to the quality of the beverage. Bartesian Duet does have a website to order beverage pods. We did the math and came to determine the pods will save us money on adult drinks, especially during family get-togethers. No more endless bottles of drink mixes, misunderstood recipes and more control over the alcohol added to each drink. We have ordered more pods to try. We are really enjoying our Bartesian Duet Cocktail Machine! We even named the Duet after our favorite bartender who makes our drinks at our most visited restaurant walking distance from the house! 

This is an overall nice concept to save time when you are having parties or just want a quick drink. The machine takes up about the same amount if space as a coffee machine and is easy to setup. The glass bottles are nice but a pain to get off of machine and caps are a bit difficult to open. Water reservoir is east to take off, fill and replace. The menu on the machine itself has a lot and to go through and sometimes pressing an option takes more than one try. The apsides is easy to insert and remove, it does leak sometimes, so make sure bar mat is always down and you have a cup handy. The machine reads a bar code on that capsule and suggests a glass or shaker, which is a nice feature. As for the actual drinks, which can be mocktail, light, regular or strong, are just horrible. The margaritas, amaretto sour and cosmopolitan had a bad taste and a worse after taste, the lemon drop was somewhat decent. The rinse and transport feature is nice as well, seems to get machine clean and empty for storage. In order for me to even consider using this again, they would need to come up with some better tasting capsules to buy.
