Richard Bergendi Home Beer Tap 5 Litre Cooling Draught Beer Pump Dispenser with Free Plastic Keg Growler

Product Information

That made it super easy to use, but it felt a bit pointless. Fizzics says it uses sonic wave technology so you get a draft taste from any can or bottle of beer.

Anyone who’s poured beer knows that spills can and do happen. Integrated drip trays are thus a practical feature. They catch any accidental overflows or drips, preventing messy puddles and potential damage to the flooring. For ease of maintenance, look for removable trays that can be cleaned separately. Adjustable Shelving Value for money: we assessed whether the performance, ease of use and additional functionality justified the price. We also tested beer dispensers at a variety of prices to see if it was necessary to spend more money. As with all good things in life, it’s about finding the right balance. Whether you’re a lager loyalist or an ale adventurer, there’s a kegerator configuration awaiting to pour you the perfect pint. Temperature Control: The Heart of Freshness They loved the strong “man cave vibes” but, frankly, we were more concerned about how heavy it was to lug around. Since we tested it, the Pinter has upgraded to a new Active Pour Tap which 'serves quality pints, just like in the pub'.We would recommend turning the pressure control valve up to increase the flow rate to the desired speed. It was also quite difficult to pour a decent beer from this one, with a lot of froth in the finished pint. The only downside is that the two-litre kegs make it a bit more difficult to share, which we guess isn't too much of a problem!

The instructions were the most confusing of the ones we tested though, as some of the diagrams were a bit difficult to understand. It claims to enhance the aroma and give you a smooth mouthfeel. But we tasted the same beer straight from the can and it didn’t taste noticeably different. However, if you're someone with a bar or dedicated man cave (or just a really big kitchen) then this would be a nice luxury to treat yourself. Beer and Gas Lines: Tubes or hoses that carry the beer from the keg to the faucet and the CO2 from the tank to the keg.Balanced CO2: An ideal CO2 level prevents both over-carbonation (resulting in excessively foamy beer) and under-carbonation (leading to flat beer). The most important part of getting a beer dispenser is the beer! But kegs can't be bought from just anywhere, sadly. Larger kegerators can be a challenge to move around. If you’re short on space or wish to transport your unit between locations (for instance, between a house and a holiday cabin), a smaller, more portable model might be more practical. Aesthetics and Design Ease of use: we judged the products on the clarity of their set-up instructions and how easy it was to carry them out. We were also looking for products that were going to require minimum effort on an ongoing basis. But, if you want a machine that pours full pints from a keg, you can expect to pay a bit more. How to clean a beer dispenser

Complete with a removable drip dray to help prevent spills; this home draught machine is perfect for drinks any social occasion. Your drinking habits can guide the best keg size for you. If you only have an occasional pint, a smaller keg might be ideal to ensure you’re always drinking fresh beer. Larger kegs are more suitable for regular drinkers or those who host frequent gatherings. Expansion Potential However, the machine didn't feel as high quality to use - the tap felt quite flimsy and the drip tray was quite cheap looking. Materials: Stainless steel is a popular choice for many premium beer keg dispensers. Not only does it provide a sleek, modern appearance, but it is also resistant to corrosion, ensuring the unit remains free from rust and maintains its polished look over the years. Some models may use other metals or even high-grade plastics, but the key is to ensure the materials are durable and suitable for prolonged exposure to moisture, given the kegerator’s refrigeration function.Build quality is a critical aspect that can determine the longevity, performance, and aesthetic appeal of the kegerator. High-quality materials and excellent craftsmanship are often evident at first glance and touch.

We also liked the easy-to-read temperature display on the front and the indicator that tells you how full your keg is.Temperature doesn’t just affect the coldness of your beer; it’s central to its overall quality and taste profile. Regulation: A good regulator is essential. It controls the pressure from the CO2 tank, ensuring the beer is dispensed at the correct carbonation level. Once you open the keg, you have 30 days to consume - but you’ll have to keep the machine plugged in.
