Krups BeerTender will bring a smile to all the thirsty draft beer connoisseurs. Designed to work exclusively with Heineken and Heineken Premium Light DraftKegs, the Beertender will serve the beverage at your desired temperature (ie. cold). The Heineken DraftKegs are a great and easy way to serve draft beer on their own but they take up a considerable amount of fridge real estate. Having the pleasure of draft beer in your own home served at the touch of a button will turn your home into a guaranteed party zone.
The Beerfinder will keep beer fresh for up to 30 days. The LCD screen displays important information such as quantity levels and when to change the keg. At a starting price of $380, the Beerfinder is not for everyone but the slick looking device will look comfortable on any home bar. The BeerTender should be available in March 08.

[...] Pois a Krups apresentou na CES 2008 o BeerTender, a maneira perfeita de consumir o chopp dos tipos Heineken ou Heineken Premium Light Draft. Segundo a empresa, ele mantém um barril de 5 litros de chopp por até 30 dias, mas será que precisava tanto? Na minha casa ele certamente acabaria antes disto. A tela LCD mostra informações vitais como a temperatura do chopp, e se está na hora de trocar o barril. Ele deve custar US$ 380, lá fora. Leia também: Sanyo Beer Cooler, Alegria da Festas.

[...] Para los amantes de la cerveza, la marca Krups que algunos considera “de lujo” ha sacado el Beertender y se supone que sólo trabaja con dos cercezas: Heineken y Heineken Premium Light DraftKegs.¿Qué hace este gadget? te sirve a la temperatura adecuada y darte”status”. Eso si, no puedes dejar tu cerveza más de 30 porque ya no estarÃa fresca y te indicarÃa la pantalla lcd que ya es hora de cambiarla pero siendo realista ¿se quedarÃa una cerceca sin tomar por tanto tiempo? y también indica la cantidad de cerveza que queda y cúando hay que recargarla. El precio es de $380 y se venderá a partir de marzo.VÃa [...]

Great for FOAM PARTIES, otherwise don’t waste your time!
Found out there is going to be a recall on these things, so don’t buy one until Krups puts out their version 2.0!
My Uncle-in-law is the beer distributor here in the city I live in and I called and asked him why these things foam up so bad. He said he talked to the Heineken vendor and he said they gave a bunch of those BeerTender’s away to distributor’s (including my Uncle) when they first came out and every one of them ended up in the trash.
So Heineken is jumping down Krup’s throat to fix the “FOAM” problem. I guess Heineken poured millions into the technology and they are pissed because their reputation is going in the toilet over a product they thought was going to put them back on top in the US.
Prior to finding out how bad this product is, when Linens & Things went out of business last month (12-08) I picked up a couple of “BeerTender’s” on closeout for 83 bucks each. I bought a 5L Heini mini-keg for 20 bucks and was ready to try it. I followed the video directions at Krups’ website on how to use it. I rinsed a glass out with cool tap water, angled it perfectly and pulled down the tap… Nothing but Foam! This happened with every glass I poured.
I bought a Heineken Light keg and had the same problem. Plus, the LED gauge on both of my BeerTender’s don’t tell you when your keg is empty like they are supposed to. It shows a green “full” light from the beginning of the keg until it’s empty.
Krups definitely needs to go back to the drawing board and re-tool this product. Maybe they can call the Windows Vista guys and see how they did it.
Until then I’ll just go to my buddy’s house and enjoy his EdgeStar Mini Kegerator and some Warsteiner.
Oh and P.S. everyone’s asking if you can use other 5L mini kegs in the BeerTender. The answer is NO. Only Heineken products work in this beer-tap system. Maybe they will address that in the recall too.
