Barsys pours the proper proportions within roughly 10 percent. You can also use the app to make a customized cocktail from scratch or alter the recipe of an existing cocktail if you want to make it stronger or weaker. The Barsys app will specify the required extras, so you'll have some help, if not automation. If your drink calls for any extras, like a dash of bitters, a cube of sugar or a garnish, you'll need to add them to the glass yourself. Spring for liquor from a higher shelf, and the results will shine through as you'd expect. Don't expect Barsys to transform your budget vodka into something delicious. The taste of the drink itself will vary wildly based on the ingredients you supply. Barsys doesn't chill your drink or offer temperature control, so I'd recommend having ice handy at the very least. Tap "make" on your cocktail of choice and set your drink on the tray, and Barsys will spray the proper amounts of each ingredient into your glass. Once you get everything properly in place, Barsys can pour your drink pretty quickly. Both are welcome updates, and I'm glad Barsys isn't leaving existing customers behind, but it needs many more improvements before I'd recommend it. ![]() These updated parts are apparently being sent to existing customers free of charge. Update, February 19, 2019: According to a Barsys spokesperson, the company says it now has mixer canisters that don't leak, and a mounting for liquor bottles to prevent spilling when you remove them. Tyler Lizenby/CNETīarsys looks like a work in progress, which is good given the flaws, but it also means you should wait to make a purchase if the machine still sounds appealing despite the price and the limitations. These mixer containers could use an upgrade. While the customized glass looks cool, it wouldn't solve any of my main issues with Barsys. Apparently the mixer is further behind in manufacturing than the machine and other customers are getting it on a delay as well. Mine didn't come with the wireless mixer - which is a glass with blending blades at the bottom. Note that as of now, orders will ship at the end of February, so it looks like manufacturing is somewhat backed up. You can find it in the US and the UK, but not Australia for now. If you're fine dealing with a messy bartender and an app that still needs work, you can buy Barsys now via the company's site for $1,050. The weight sensor on the drink stand was reliable at this task. You can order multiple drinks at once and the app will cue them up and pour one at a time - waiting for you to replace the first glass before it starts making the next drink. When it works, the app is nicely organized. I also had to pair my phone with Barsys every time I unlocked my phone, even if I hadn't closed the app. It crashed on me with regularity, and lost track of how much liquor was where on occasion. You can then see both the full list of ingredients for those drinks and the most frequently used common denominators so you can prioritize what to buy on your next shopping trip. If not, the app will let you select different drinks you might like from its library. The app will then show you the recipes you can make with your ingredients. If you already have a couple of bottles of liquor and some mixers, you can put them in place and use the app to assign each bottle to a station. You control Barsys using the company's iOS or Android app. Once your drink is ready, Barsys turns green to let you know. If you remove your drink too early, they'll shine red and the machine will automatically stop pouring. Plug it in and different colored lights illuminate the drink tray. Then again, for what it is, the style works. It's a hefty 55-pound machine that isn't exactly going to blend into your typical countertop. “We think Barney can be a fun attraction, that can bring people to a bar because he’s constantly moving and is so different.Finding a spot for Barsys might be your first setup challenge. ![]() “We are getting quite a bit of interest,” Gery Colombo, Chief Sales Officer, revealed to Reuters.
