Bartesian is cocktails, liberated. Create delicious cocktails at home without fancy recipes or multiple ingredients. Everything you need is inside the capsule – just add the basic spirits (vodka, rum, gin, and tequila).
Insert your capsule, select the strength, and Bartesian will mix the perfect cocktail every time. One cocktail, one capsule, as simple as that!
We are launching with six favorites to start, three classics and three signatures, and will be rapidly expanding into the future. A la carte selections, themed packs, and seasonal varieties are just some of the options that will become available.
You Choose the Next Drinks: As a Kickstarter backer, you will have the exclusive opportunity to choose the next drinks we release. The cocktails listed below are just some of the options available, but the options are endless. We can’t wait for you to become a Bartesian bartender and to help shape the future of our cocktails.
Our team of cocktail experts have painstakingly developed each drink to taste truly authentic, exactly how your local mixologist would make them.
Each Bartesian Capsule is made with real, premium ingredients. Fresh juice concentrates, non-alcoholic liqueurs, and bitters, all in liquid form. There are no artificial powders or high-glucose corn syrup in these capsules. This allows for quality taste and drinkability cocktail after cocktail.
Bartesian has been designed and developed with the care and intricacy of a craft cocktail. From the welded steel enclosure, to the simple geometric form, we have designed every feature with style and ease of use in mind to create the ultimate user experience. Bartesian has a simple, analog interface: no need for each guest to download and fumble through an app.
Shake It, Baby
We’ve even incorporated the iconic cocktail shaker into the Bartesian experience, a visceral part of cocktail culture. So now you can make amazing cocktails, AND look like a pro while doing it!
Bartesian capsules are recyclable. You heard right, recyclable! Unlike some other single-serve “cup” systems out there, we love the environment! We better not see one Bartesian capsule in the garbage…
Additional Capsules: Be prepared for another round. You don’t want to be “that” host and let your guests’ go thirsty. Add $20 to your pledge for each additional pack of 12 capsules. 12, 24, even 144 capsules. This is a special Kickstarter price, so make sure to get’em while its hot!
Simply multiply $20 by the number of packs you want, and add this to your base pledge. For example, if you snagged an early bird and wanted 24 extra capsules, pledge 249 + 40 = $289. We will contact you before shipping to arrange your flavours. Don’t hold back, the shipping is on us.
In the future, capsules will be sold for between $20-$25 for a pack of 12. Since we haven’t started production, we don’t know the exact costs yet, but we will make sure to keep the price as low as possible!
Each of the four glass reservoirs contains one of the basic spirits: vodka, rum, tequila, and gin. No need for cleaning and putting in different liquids or flavours, the capsules take care of all of that.
Bartesian is equipped with an intelligent barcode system which automatically reads the recipe for each cocktail and custom prepares each one to its unique method.
Bartesian has an ultra-simple, three button interface. There’s something so rewarding about the push of a button, and watching the machine do all the work.
Cleaning: It couldn’t be easier! Simply pull out the capsule tray, rinse under warm water and pop it back into the machine, how easy is that? The reservoirs bottles themselves are dishwasher safe making it quick and easy to get your machine clean and back in action. But because the reservoirs store only alcohol, they don’t have to be continually cleaned and changed.
To us, cocktails have always been something special. There are some great bars out there, but sometimes you just want to have cocktails at home with friends, at a dinner party, on your patio, or after work. That’s why we wanted to make a super simple way for everyone to enjoy an authentic cocktail experience in their home.
We spent the first couple months of development speaking to as many people as possible to discover what they really wanted in a home cocktail machine. We modified a coffee machine to learn as quickly as possible how different setups worked and what people liked and didn’t like about the machine. Once we saw the excitement in people’s eyes, we knew it was time to leave our jobs and develop this amazing idea full-time.
Our first prototype was pretty rough, but it proved our concept and we were accepted into HAX, the world’s premier hardware accelerator. As part of this, we moved to Shenzen China, the hardware capital of the world to design the machine and set up our supply chain. This experience taught us so much, and after four months, and four more prototypes, we walked away with a beautiful and fully-functional model.
