Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

I think I can give you one thing most people like and one thing most people hate.  Beer and waiting (in that order of course!).  There are been novelty gadgets for beer ever since novelty gadgets have been invented, but this is something new, innovative and something you could see in bars and stadiums before long.  I give you, the TRUfil from Scotsman Beverages Systems: the gadget to provide beer without the waiting.
Let me give you important information first: this machine can give you 10 pints in 10 seconds.  That’s right, a pint in one second. 

This is not only great for bars and clubs where you will no longer have to wait for a slow waitress, but also for stadiums where getting something quick is quite important.  This is, in fact, where it has been aimed at, but don’t think that it would look out of place in a trendy bars.
It comes in a very modern Pac-Man-esque shape, with a small circular control panel, a larger one for the cup, and holed grating around for collecting spilled beer. It is very sleek, with a metallic finish complemented by blue lights encircling the panel and dispenser.  And guess what?  They move when it is filling up!  How cool will that look when you’ve had a few!
Another reason that it looks cool is because it is fairly flat and although that may sound stupid at first, consider how the beer gets in the glass.  What it actually does is fill the glass from the bottom, eliminating foam and allowing for the amazingly rapid filling times.  Obviously, you need specially designed glasses, but that is a small side effect of this innovative gadget, especially considering that it can even add ice from the top.
Presumably, they will be coin operated so that you can self serve: increasing the speed of your pint even more.  Yes, it may detract from some of the tradition of a bar, but who cares if it has flashing blue lights!  It was first shown in the Brau Beviale exhibition and I think that it could soon be available throughout the country.

It really is an innovation in the drinks market and I think you may also find soft drinks manufacturers catching on to the idea.  I would too and I hope they will make it for the domestic world so I can get one at home.  I just hope that they will serve more than one type of drink.

Vedict: Incredibly cool, although you may find yourself buying more just to see it in action!
