Heineken Keg/Krups Coffee Machine Mashup
Posted on 01 09, 2008 under Libations, Mantivities by reviewdad | Comments 
Check out this beauty! A mash-up between a Krups coffee machine and a Heineken Draught Keg (you’ve seen the fembots commercial)…it will keep a 5-liter Heineken keg cold and tasting bar-fresh for up to 30 days and the top of the line version (not pictured) sports an LCD command center. This in my Man Cave would be enough to make me a Heineken guy 24/7/365 (does that constitute alcoholism?!).
Already on sale in Europe, Krups and Heineken debuted it in the US this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It goes on sale in April and will set you back about $400. You can read more at Engaget.
We’ve seen Heineken kegs for ~$18-22 and they will give you ~10 pints. Do the easy math – that’s about $2 per pint. Can’t beat that!
CES coverage has really opened my eyes to counter top keggerators and it only took a Google search to find other options. We like options…especially if they save us some cash!
Hammacher-Schlemmer’s Countertop Beer Cooler and Tap is slick looking and goes for $299 and the Wunderbar Cooler Professional (which looks a lot like the Krups model) retails for $238. Both accept the Heineken Keg.
Cheers Noodads!
