Title: Bartesian, After 11 Months, Still Works Great, Cleaning, Ice Machine
Review: 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 âvery mildâ 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 âoverkillâ 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 âcocktail glass riserâ. There is one that is made for Keurig machines and it worked well in reducing splatters from the dispenser.Tip 2:The âLong Island Iced Teaâ 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 âAs a Doubleâ or âStrongâ. The Bartesian can make âsinglesâ and âdoublesâ of every cocktail and some cocktails when made âdoubleâ 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.

Title: WOW!
Review: This machine could be sold as a medical assistance device if youâre old like me! Let me explainâ¦we host a lot of functions and our full bar is in the basement. But we all know that when you have a gathering, everyone hangs out in the kitchen or outside. So as the hostess I was spending the entire time in the basement making drinks and running up and down 2 flights of stairs delivering said drinks. By the end of the night my back, feet, ankles were killing me (not to mention that I always missed half of the party) so I got this machine to put in the kitchen when we host. Used it for the first time this weekend! Holy cowâ¦I learned so much being able to hang out with my guests for a change! Lucyâs husband got laid off, Joeys son got arrested, etc. This machine is so easy to use and fun! So many pod choices! Just make a choice, pop in the pod and voila! Drink made, guest happy, my back, feet and ankles happy! The clean-up of the machine takes a while afterwards but it is worth it! Get one and go back to enjoying your own party!

Title: I have tried most pods
Review: 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).FYI - Some of these drinks are not yet available on Amazon, but can be purchased on Bartesians's website (Price is the same as Amazon, but shipping is not as fast as Amazon Prime - takes between 5- 7 days).UPDATE November 2021 - Holiday Collection 2021Bartesian hit it out of the park with this one (much better than last year). From best to least...Mistletoe Margarita - this is Christmas in a cup. It tastes like cranberry with hints of spice - nutmeg and cinnamon. It tastes more like a delicious spiced wine than a marg, but I'm not mad about that. This is what the rhubarb spiced shrub SHOULD taste like. Needs to be a year-round drink. Made on strong..always.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!Espresso martini - I'm surprised I like this as much as I do, even more than the spiced coffee. It tastes like the best coffee you've ever had - with hints of vanilla. This is made with vodka, rather than tequila like the spiced coffee. It's absolutely delicious. I would not order this on the reg, but it's a perfect seasonal drink (like egg nog).Spiced Old Fashioned - this was in last years collection - disappointed it was included. It's not bad, but you really have to like drinks that are basically just whiskey. Like last year, I add a good bit of apple cider, which makes it taste similar to the apple pie, so I don't waste the pods. Wouldn't want it again, but it's in the collection again..whomp whomp.UPDATE October 2021: Blackberry Margarita: Delicious! This margarita tastes like you muddled fresh blackberries for the drink. It's not overly sweet (not as sweet as the passion fruit), but fruity and refreshing. I like this one on regular. I tried on strong and it wasn't sweet enough.Apple Pie: I love that Bartesian made this a year round drink instead of seasonal. This drink is incredibly balanced and not overly sweet like most apple-cider type cocktails. It's perfectly sweet, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and touch of lemon. I use Wordford Reserve Whiskey which compliments the drink nicely with hints of orange. Delish!UPDATE August 2021:Passion Fruit Margarita: Another great drink from Bart - very similar to the Mango, but I actually like the Passion Fruit even more. The Passion Fruit has a more complex flavor - sweet, tart and tangy, while the Mango is mostly sweet notes, but has more hints of a classic lime margarita. I prefer this one on strong (way too sweet on regular). Already reordered the 32 pod count - it goes fast!UPDATE: May 2021 Releases:Rum Runner: The vodka seems unnecessary in this drink - even on the light it's too overpowering. I make it on 'mocktail' and then add coconut rum myself to make it edible. Defeats the purpose of the machine, but it's the only way this drink doesn't take like medicine. This drink was a hug disappointment for me, and I will not be purchasing again.Mango Margarita - the mango is a bit overpowering, so I like this one on strong and wow is it good. You still get hints of a classic margarita taste from the lime, but be prepared to give Bartesian all of your money because this is delicious! Medium drink output and I've already put in an order for 32 pods because this one goes fast!UPDATE: February 2021 Releases:Amaretto Sour - Sweet, and delicious but emphasis on the SWEET (and where's the sour??). If you love Disaronno (or amaretto), then you will love this drink, but the level of sweetness is not for everyone. I wish it was a bit more balanced like the Whiskey Sour. I use Woodford reserve whiskey instead of vodka and add a big squeeze of fresh lime juice and its still insanely sweet. I would likely not order again.Screwdriver - Very sour. I wish this one was a bit more balanced as well, and had a tad but more sweetness. Go grab some OJ and make this yourself, but it is nice to have on hand for guests. I would not buy again.UPDATE: Holiday 2020 Collection. I was looking forward to new flavors (the Apple Pie is incredible), but disappointed to see the rest of the collection is basically recycled drinks that I don't really care for.Apple Pie - This a showstopper and Bartesian needs to sell this pod individually and all year round. This drink is incredibly balanced and not overly sweet like most apple-cider type cocktails. It's perfectly sweet, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and touch of lemon. I use Wordford Reserve Whiskey which compliments the drink nicely with hints of orange. Delish!Spiced Old Fashioned - I like the spices in this beverage, but I find Old Fashions to be too strong. I added apple cider and lots of ice, and it actually made this taste similar to the Apple Pie cocktail. Winning!!Clausmopolitain - A regular cosmo with glitter. Yawn.... (but the color is stunning!)Spiced Coffee - Disappointed this was in the collection instead of bringing something new to table. I do not like the Spiced Coffee, so I saved them for a friend that likes this drink with a splash of Bailey'sUPDATE Oct 2020: Witch's Heart - Great for Halloween, but I will be drinking all year round. Such a delicious and complex tasting drink. You get sweetness from the white grape and berries, and a bit of tart from the apple and lemon. I've never had edible glitter before, but it makes this drink magical. You're friends will be impressed. Only negative there is an odd 'cough-syrupy' after taste. It doesn't bother me, but this drink is not for everyone. It makes a small drink output.UPDATE: July 2020 New Releases1. Mai Thai - "Bermuda, Jamaica, Ooooo I wanna take ya...". Tropical, pineapp-ly, coconut and almond goodness. This tastes exactly like a drink you would get at the beach. Delicious and my absolute favorite of the new releases but the drink output is absolutely pitiful - a few sips and it's gone. You would need to make 2-3 pods for a full drink.2. Ginger Peach Iced Tea - Summery and refreshing. I do find the ginger to be a bit overpowering, so I add a dash of Peach Schnapps to provide more of that peach flavor I'm looking for. This is a substantial drink! It fills my 16 ounce glass on regular. This drink sneaks up on you since you can't taste the alcohol.3. Lemon Drop - Taste exactly like the first legal drink you had on your 21st birthday. Super sweet and tart, so I prefer to make this as a shot. The strong setting makes 4-5 shots. A real crowd pleaser - 'Who wants a lemon drop?'...and the crowd goes wild!3. Aviation - Tastes like pomegranate and maraschino cherries. The drink is a gorgeous purple color - you would think that doesn't matter but the color is mesmerizing. I switch bottles and use vodka because I am not a fan of gin. Produces a small - medium drink output.4. Northside - A surprising favorite. Lemon and lime flavored drink without being overly sweet. Super refreshing summer vodka drink. Produces a small - medium drink output.5. Rhubarb Spice Shrub - Overpowering vinegary taste. At first, this drink reminded me of a delicious spiced wine I have during the holidays with such a great depth of flavor. The aftertaste is straight vinegar...why?! This drink was definitely designed by a hipster. $14 in the trash for what could have been an amazing cocktail.UPDATE: After a few family gatherings, the unanimous favorites are Rum Breeze, Sex on the Beach, Margarita, Long Island, and Whiskey Sour.1.) Rum Breeze - My absolute favorite!! Fruity, refreshing, but dangerous. It doesn't taste 'strong' (even on the strong setting), but this sure does sneak up on you!). This drink has a strong coconut flavor, with hints of strawberry. I go through these pods like water. YUM!! This pod makes a substantial drink.2.) 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.3.) 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).4.) 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.5.) Margarita - This drink is perfect. Not overly sweet or generic tasting like alot of the grocery store mixers. Decent drink output.6.) Cosmopolotan - Lime and Cranberry flavors. A bit tart for me, but pretty good. Decent drink output.7.) Paper plane - It reminds me of a whiskey sour I had at a restaurant. Tastes of citrus, sour, herbal and bitter. Unusual but pretty good. It's like a sour patch kid for adults. This drink is not for everyone. All of my guest have said it tastes like medicine, but I like it (but the herbal notes can be a bit overpowering). Decent drink output.8.) Uptown Rocks - Strong Peach taste - good, but I wish there were other prominent flavors. I actually prefer this with vodka than gin (I just switch the bottles). Makes a decent sized drink.9.) Old Fashioned - All I can taste is whiskey, but a hint of citrus does make it smoother. Not my favorite, but I'm not a fan of this drink anyway. Makes a tiny drink, but sounds about right for this one.10.) 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.11.) 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.12.) Mint Julip - Tastes like toothpaste. If you're a fan of mint, or Mojito-like drinks then this one is for you. Decent drink output, but threw it away.13.) Negroni - And finally, my least favorite pod, and one I will definitely never buy again, the Negroni! This drink has a strong herbal flavor. I don't know how it's possible, but it tastes like eating a pine tree. Also very bitter. Definitely not for me. Small drink output, but it's for the best - nasty!

Title: Keurig for Booze!
Review: Every year is a challenge for me to find a gift for my son for Christmas. I usually find the perfect gift on Amazon. This machine makes 6 different drinks using pods. It comes with two glass bottles to hold the alcohol. You just put in a pod, push a button and voila! You have espresso martinis, margaritas, cosmos, etc. Although we haven't opened it yet and tried it out, I have no doubt that this will be a big hit. The pods are a bit pricey, and the extra bottles are also, but they are glass and of good quality. If you have someone on your list who enjoys a cocktail and who is a challenge to buy for, this is the perfect gift.
