Over the years, most automatic cocktail mixers we’ve come across have been suited for kitchen counters, home bars, or full-scale commercial operations. The original Barsys cocktail machine, for instance, had a design that made it seem exclusive to bars and restaurants.
However, with the introduction of the all-new Barsys 360, it’s apparent that the paradigm is shifting. The Barsys 360 embodies a high-tech aesthetic that comfortably blends into various spaces, whether it’s the living room or the kitchen, and it brings the expertise of both traditional and innovative bartenders right into your home, all without the need for tipping.
This innovative device is not just a means to streamline your Saturday night cocktail-making; it’s also a piece of art that envelops your glass in a captivating display of lights and precisely measured pours. With the Barsys app, you can connect to a vast library of cocktail recipes, opening up a world of mixology possibilities.
Getting started with the Barsys 360 is a breeze. Simply pour up to six different liquors and mixers into the individual 30-ounce (900-milliliter) canisters. Then, using the app, input these ingredients, and you’ll be presented with a curated menu of cocktail options based on your chosen spirits. As your palate evolves, you can easily tweak the recipes, adjusting individual measurements to suit your taste. Over time, the Barsys 360 learns your preferences and offers personalized recommendations.
In contrast, the Barsys 2.0, while visually impressive with its automated glass sliding and bottle-pod system, looks out of place in any setting other than a professional bar or a college fraternity basement. It’s undoubtedly a great fit for a home bar but might seem out of context next to your everyday appliances.
The Barsys 360 may lack some of the capacity and flair of the older 2.0 design, but it successfully brings a taste of that advanced capability in a discreet package that seamlessly blends into the background when not in use. Additionally, the Barsys 360 is significantly more affordable, with a price tag that’s just under a third of the Barsys 2.0’s $1,500 cost.
Weighing in at 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) before filling, the Barsys 360 stands at 17 inches (43 centimetres) in height and width.
Priced at $475 from https://thebarsys.com/products/barsys-360, it is available for preorder with a 10% deposit, and Barsys aims to commence deliveries in October.
