We’ve had our Bartesian for just over a year now and we LOVE it - yes, it’s not inexpensive and it’s very “first-world,” but if you like cocktails (or mocktails!), but don’t like buying, storing, and then throwing away 20+ ‘random’ ingredients, mixers, etc. every year, you can actually break even wit
h this machine and the fabulously-easy-to-use pods. So, as far as the pods go, this is definitely in our top three drink options in terms of number consumed per week/month (along with Manhattan and Old Fashioned). The flavors are perfectly balanced, the juice tastes fresh (and natural - not like cheap mixers from the store), and it’s not overly sweet. (Note: we almost always use the “strong” setting, which puts a bit more than a standard shot in each drink.) Assuming you have a Prime membership, the price for these is actually a bit less than ordering them from Bartesian directly (even better if you have a Prime credit card!) - plus, they get to you a lot faster. Overall, we love our Bartesian and we love this flavor - and most of them!
