Follow a recipe manually
Find a recipe, interpret each measurement, measure every ingredient and keep track of the sequence yourself.
Choose the kind of help you actually want.
You can follow recipes and measure alone, use Bartifier for step-by-step guidance, or buy a cocktail machine. The right choice depends on how hands-on you want to be.
Bartifier sits between doing everything unaided and buying a machine. The app guides the recipe and quantities; you still provide the ingredients, pour and mix.
Three approaches to the same goal
All three can lead to a finished drink. The difference is where the instructions come from and how much of the process you handle.
Follow Bartifier’s guidance
Enter your ingredients, choose a drink, strength and number of glasses, then use the app and caddy to follow each pour.
Use a cocktail machine
Features vary by model. Check what the machine automates, which ingredients or consumables it accepts, and what cleaning or setup it requires.
Compare more than the headline price
The best value is the option you will understand, use and maintain comfortably.
Guidance
Ask whether you want a written recipe, visual instructions or a machine-led process.
Your role
Decide whether you enjoy pouring and mixing or want equipment to handle more of the process.
Ingredients and supplies
Check whether you can use ingredients you already own and whether the option requires brand-specific consumables.
Setup, storage and cleaning
Consider where the equipment will live and what you need to prepare or clean after each use.
Control
Look at how each option handles strength, serving quantity and low or no-alcohol choices.
Bartifier guides. You make the drink.
It is a measuring system with required app guidance, not an automatic cocktail machine.
The app helps you choose and follow the drink. Bartifier shows the quantities through its divided sections. You supply the ingredients, fill the indicated sections, pour, mix and finish as instructed.

Bartifier or manual recipes?
Both keep you involved. Bartifier adds visual guidance when finding, measuring and following a recipe feels like the difficult part.
See where the steps differ, what Bartifier handles and when a recipe with ordinary measuring tools may already be enough.

Bartifier or a cocktail machine?
Choose Bartifier if you want clear measuring guidance and do not mind pouring and mixing the drink yourself.
Machine features differ, so the detailed comparison shows what to verify before purchase rather than treating every model as identical.

Want guidance without handing over the whole process?
Bartifier keeps you involved in making the drink while removing the need to memorise recipes or guess at quantities.
See what comes with Bartifier, what you provide and how the required app fits into every pour.
