The Rise (and Limits) of Pod-Based Cocktail Machines
- Oct 28, 2025
Pod cocktail machines had their moment in the spotlight. They seemed futuristic: no mess, no measuring, just plug, press, and pour.
But here's the thing - the moment didn’t last.
The pods were expensive. The flavors? Often artificial. And the cocktail selection was limited to whatever came in your latest shipment.
Want to tweak a classic? Create your own mix? Use real ingredients? Too bad. That’s when smart hosts started looking for something better.
Not just more “automated,” but more intelligent. A truly smart cocktail machine should work like an extension of you - not a replacement. Here’s what that looks like:
You don’t need gimmicks. You need a cocktail maker that knows how you drink - and lets you own the experience.What Makes a Cocktail Maker Smart?
Barsys 360: A Smarter Cocktail Machine for Modern Hosts
The Barsys 360 cocktail maker was designed for people who care about what’s in their glass - and want the freedom to make drinks their way.
Instead of limiting you to factory-packed pods, Barsys lets you:
- Add your own spirits, mixers, or juices into refillable containers
- Log what you’ve added in the Barsys App
- Instantly view a list of cocktails and mocktails that are actually possible
- Tap Craft to pour your drink with exact measurements - hands-free
It’s not a gimmick. It’s your bar, automated.
