Bartesian Old Fashioned Mixer Capsules for Cocktail Machine – Home Bar Mixology Cocktails Mix Pod Capsule Set To Use With the Bartesian Cocktail Drink Maker Machine – Pack of 8

Lovely cocktails. Quite expensive pods but all very good quality. Much better than cans of so called quality cocktails. You can have a cocktail,like strength, medium or large which is very STONG!.

These are delicious

Excellent cocktails, only downside not all the cocktails are available in the UK

Lovely taste. Almost like the real thing. A little expensive but then so is the machine.

Really good piece of equipment for our home bar! Works great and keeps the party flowing!

Bought this for my Husband he loved it, easy to use as well.

I was a little apprehensive but shouldn’t have been. The mix of alcohol is perfect. The only negative is the pods available in the UK are limited compared to the US and not able to order from US!

When I came across the Bartesian in the spring sale I thought this looked amazing, the reviews are massively positive so I thought I would go for it.When it arrived, the set-up was easy, they have nicely thought out how to load the water and spirits without spilling anything.I plugged it in and followed the instructions for first use and then tested with an expresso martini.The experience was great and the cocktail tasted nice.Sadly that's as positive as I can say.When trying a second time and wanting to switch cocktails, I wanted to change one of the alcohol bottles (that you do by going into the setup menu), but despite trying a LOT of times, I could not get the set-up menu to appear.Now I managed to get it to work the first time, but for the life of me I could not press set-up again.The touch screen is something from the early 2000's in terms of quality and touch sensitivity.Worse still, the Sleep button to turn off the display and the set-up icon wheel are next to each other, so on a touch screen that clearly doesn't have great sensitivity when you try to press the set-up wheel, you end up turning the display to sleep. Who on earth designed that user interface?I even tried with a pen stylus pressing exactly over the set-up icon, at angles, slightly off screen, and all did not work, massively infuriating.Unfortunately it's a great concept but in respect to my experience, this was not a premium product.1) The touch screen should be of much better quality for the price.2) The graphical User interface needs revising - just fixing that would stop this kind of problem if you continued to use cheap touch screens.3) I'm happy to accept this was a one of defective unit, in that case, you need to improve your quality control.There is nothing on the market like this and I so wanted this to work, but sadly it didn't for me.I hope they can continue developing it and they improve on the concept.
