Product Information

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. Excessive cold can dull the flavours of certain beers, while overly warm temperatures can accelerate the beer’s ageing process, leading to off-flavours. The machine was heavy, and we couldn’t lift the box on our own. It’s quite plain looking but we liked that you could customise the beer pump with a selection of badges. Beer kegs come in a plethora of sizes to cater to different needs, but the following are the most common: Plus, you can get your hands on kegs from Corona, Jupiler, Leffes, Stella Artois, Thornbridge and more with your machine as part of a starter bundle.

Your beer preference, be it a singular dedication or a passion for variety, is integral to your kegerator choice. The interplay between the beer type and the number of taps accentuates the drinking experience.

This is the priciest pint of the machines we tested - but it was the best. Overall, this was our winner. It poured really nicely and was like a pint that you'd get in the pub, plus we liked the display features. It was also quite difficult to pour a decent beer from this one, with a lot of froth in the finished pint.Let the beer settle.

Always ensure you’re using food-grade CO2. Impurities can not only harm your health but can also introduce off-flavours into the beer.

The unit is supplied with easy fit adaptors for kegs that are already gas charged, and also comes with a beer tube assembly that links to the internal gas supply for kegs that are not gas charged.Unlike setting up a full-blown pump that you'd get in a pub with gas cylinders and miles of piping, setting up one of these pumps at home is a doddle.

The universe of beer is expansive, with each variety presenting its unique profile in terms of flavour, aroma, and mouthfeel. In parallel, the world of kegerators or beer dispensers is equally diverse. Let’s explore how the type of beer you prefer intertwines with the number of taps on a kegerator.
