New Product Bartesian Professional Cocktail Maker

The scoop

If you’ve been eyeing those trendy cocktail makers but weren’t sure about taking the plunge, Costco’s got the Bartesian Professional with a high-capacity design that might just seal the deal.

This countertop cocktail system works similarly to a Keurig, but for mixed drinks. Pop in a Bartesian capsule (sold separately), add your spirit of choice, and it mixes restaurant-quality cocktails in seconds. The “high capacity” design means it can handle back-to-back drinks without constant refilling – perfect if you’re entertaining.

Here’s the real talk: Yes, you’re locked into buying Bartesian’s proprietary capsules, which adds to the ongoing cost. But if you’re someone who loves craft cocktails and hates the hassle of buying multiple mixers, bitters, and syrups that go bad before you use them, this system actually makes sense. The machine takes the guesswork out of ratios and gives you consistent results every time.

Bottom Line: If you entertain regularly or just want bar-quality drinks without the fuss, this is a solid investment. Just factor in the ongoing capsule costs—but honestly, it’s still cheaper than hitting up a cocktail bar every weekend.
