Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson shows you different cocktail makers
CyberGuy shows machines that can mix your cocktails at home and how they work.
Why shell out hard-earned cash at the local bar when you can make your own cocktails at home with the touch of a button? That's the idea behind the Bartesian Cocktail Maker.
Think Keurig K-cup meets bartender. It lets you create delicious cocktails in seconds. You become a mixologist or bartender right in the comfort or your own abode. Sounds pretty easy, right?

How does an automatic cocktail maker work?
The Bartesian Cocktail Maker is an automatic cocktail-making machine that you can use to make pretty much any alcoholic or mocktail drink you want. The machine comes with capsules that contain flavors and mixers for 40 different cocktails, such as margarita, cosmopolitan, old fashioned and more. Or you can create your own concoction by mixing and matching the capsules.
It works very much like a Keurig coffee machine, but instead of filling a water tank, you pour your booze into a glass container. Next, you insert the capsule of your choice into the machine and select the strength of your drink, from mocktail to strong, depending on your mood and preference.

Then press mix. The device will then mix the ingredients and within 30 seconds, you will have a perfectly made cocktail ready to drink or serve. Plus, it uses smart technology with touchscreen control and a self-cleaner for in-between cocktails. During our test, I invited a few friends over without saying much about how it works. Within a minute, it was the talk of the evening and cocktails were flowing with ease.
