If manual recipes feel like work but a pod-based cocktail machine feels like more than you need, Bartifier offers a simpler middle ground. The app guides each step, and the measuring caddy shows you how much to pour.

Bartifier is not automatic. You provide the ingredients, fill the indicated sections, pour and mix. The guidance is built in without requiring a countertop machine to make the drink for you.

Bartifier shows you the pour. You still make the drink.

That keeps the process approachable without hiding what is involved.

The app helps you find suitable cocktails, choose strength and servings, and follow the ingredients in order. The Bartifier caddy gives you a visual way to measure the quantities shown.

You still add your own ingredients, pour them into a shaker or container, mix or finish the drink as instructed, and serve it responsibly.

02

You provide

Spirits or alcohol, mixers, juices or soda, ice and any garnishes or finishing ingredients.

03

You do

The filling, pouring, mixing, finishing and serving. Bartifier does not dispense or automatically complete the cocktail.

Walk Through Every Step

Start with your ingredients—not a recipe you have to decode.

The required app turns your choices into a clear sequence of pours.

Enter the ingredients you already have and see suitable cocktail options from the app’s collection of 3,000+ cocktails. Choose your preferred strength and number of glasses before following one step at a time.

The complete guided recipe remains in the app. The website previews how the process works without turning the experience into another recipe catalogue.

A clearer ratio makes a more repeatable drink.

Bartifier helps remove measuring guesswork while leaving ingredient choice in your hands.

Bartifier cannot control the quality or freshness of the ingredients you choose, but it can help you avoid accidental ratio changes by showing the quantities and order to follow.

After use, a quick rinse is usually enough and cleanup usually takes under a minute. Some parts are dishwasher-safe; the care instructions identify the approved parts.

Your preferred ingredients

Choose the spirits, mixers and brands you want rather than relying on a fixed ingredient pod.

Quick routine cleanup

Rinse after use and follow the care guide for the parts approved for dishwasher cleaning.

Here is what to know before choosing between guided pouring and a pod-based machine.

Is Bartifier an automatic cocktail machine?

No. Bartifier is an app-guided measuring system. The app shows what to add and how much, while you fill the indicated sections, pour, mix and finish the drink.

Does Bartifier use cocktail pods?

No recipe pods are required. You provide your own spirits or alcohol, mixers, juices, soda, ice and finishing ingredients.

How is Bartifier different from using a recipe app alone?

Bartifier pairs app instructions with a divided physical measuring caddy. The screen shows which sections to fill, giving beginners a visual way to follow quantities instead of interpreting measurements unaided.

Is Bartifier less expensive than a pod cocktail machine?

Bartifier’s launch offer is one unit for $39.98 or two for $59.99. Pod-machine equipment, pod and refill costs vary, so compare Bartifier with each manufacturer’s current prices and requirements.

Will every drink taste exactly the same?

Bartifier’s visual quantities help reduce accidental ratio changes, supporting more consistent preparation. Taste still depends on ingredients, substitutions, ice, finishing steps and personal preferences.

Is there an ongoing fee for the Bartifier app?

No. The required app is included with no ongoing app fee.

Can I choose my own ingredients?

Yes. You supply and choose the spirits or alcohol, mixers, juices, soda, ice and other ingredients used in your drink. Alcohol is not included or sold.
