🤖Bartesian Duet Serves Cocktails With a Push of a Button

This $300 machine serves cocktails with capsules

TL;DR

Introducing the Bartesian Duet, a cocktail-making machine that uses capsules to serve drinks. It costs $300 and can make multiple types of cocktails without needing a full bar setup.

The Bartesian Duet is a new cocktail-making machine that serves different cocktails with just a push of a button. This $300 device adds spirits of your choice (1-4 types) to hyper-concentrated mixes in capsules, scanning the barcode for specific drink recipes. Users can adjust strength and dilution levels, but drinks need chilling before serving. Capsules cost around $2.50 each. While it's not ideal for cocktail purists or those with limited counter space, the Duet could be useful for parties, older couples in beach houses, retirement homes, and coworking spaces' happy hours. However, its high price might discourage frequent use.
