Bev by Black + Decker – A couple of month ago I reported on the Hamilton Beach automatic bartender. At CES 2022 found a different auto drink maker from Black + Decker called Bev. Bev lets you use your own bottles of liquor (750 ml bottles) by inserting a straw from the machine into each liquor bottle. Then you need one more thing, a Bartesian capsule., but the capsule (like a kind of K-cup) adds juices, bitters and and whatever else your mixed drink requires. Before you make your drink you pick the cocktail strength, from mocktail to strong. And they there are the LED lights! It uplights your bottles as it removes liquor from them, or in ‘Party Mode’ where the bottles light up in sequence. No mirrored ball needed. Bartesian makes the pods and the company has dozens of varieties. They average about $3 when bought in packs. Black + Decker Bev is expected out in May. MSRP: $299
