Editorial Reviews

Krups, the world wide leader of small appliances and Heineken, the leader in European Premium Imported Beer have partnered together to create the ultimate beer drinking experience at home. The BeerTender system is compatible with the Heineken DraughtKeg system which utilizes an internal carbonator pressure unit. The Heineken DraughtKeg unit releases Co2 every time the tap is opened, ensuring the beer remains fresh for up to 30 days and allows for a crisp quality beer with Heinekens' signature head of foam and trademark "bite". The BeerTender silent cooling system provides constant and consistent cooling of the 5L Heineken DraughtKeg and will keep it at the ideal temperature of 41 degrees F. Easy to operate, just run the keg's plastic tube to the BeerTender tap and you're done. It's that simple. Inserting a keg takes less than 15-seconds. The Krups BeerTender has an LCD display panel featuring a volume indicator and temperature indicator. It features a detachable pour handle, detachable draw spout, a removable tray. Beautifully designed, the BeerTender is compatible with the Heineken DraughtKeg and Heineken Premium Light DraughtKeg.

Beer tender

Beer tender, works great, but it came with missing parts, specially the button part. So the beer tender it self, but if you going to get it make sure whoever is selling it has all the parts.

I was skeptical...

Okay, I was skeptical that this unit would work as advertised, but after having it for a while and enjoying a cool brew after work each evening it is a real pleasure own. The unit is whisper quiet and keeps the keg at the selected temperature. The LCD screen is clear and crisp and doesn't look cheap but rather looks like a quality machine. The unit knows how much beer is left by "weighing" the keg and is fairly accurate. The calendar which displays the number of days left is a nice touch as well. I only gave this 4 stars because there are a limited number (3) of beers to choose from. I would recommend this product to anyone who has been considering it but can't decide.

Awesome machine!!!

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. It keeps the beer chilled at the perfect temperature and I'm told it tastes much better than bottled beer. It takes up some space on the countertop, but is well worth it. Be sure to leave plenty of space around the back of the machine...it can overheat and get ruined if there's not enough ventilation around the motor. I highly recommend that you buy tall beer glasses to go with it, makes the beer taste better than if you serve the beer in small glasses.

Avg Product, Poor Service

I have had luck previously on Krups product and this is the only reason gave this a try but I would not recommend it to anyone. foaming is excessive at times. The display stopped functioning 4 month after the purchase and when I called the manufacture and waited over 30 minutes to get to a representative, they ask for the ref id of the product and old me is not under warranty. So, I had to search for my receipt and they gave me a service center to take it and their service center was worse than their support on the phone. The lady was very rude and thought I owe her something. Purchasing this product is nothing but headache.

Cool but, small and how about replacement tubes!!!!!!

Because they finally dropped the price on this I asked for it for Christmas. Only because Newcastle kegs work in it.
Unfortunately the Newcastle kegs have been a little hard to come by and much worse, the tubes that connect the keg to the spout are completely out of stock and it is impossible to find out when they will have more.
One last complaint, the kegs hold 14 beers and cost $20.00. Replacement tubes are 6 for $10.00. It is more expensive to go this route.

All that said it is awesome to have Newcastle on tap at home.
If you are a fan of Newcastle you know it isn't the same out of the bottle.
