Terrible product with terrible quality, breaks easily, leaks all the time and has useless C02 dispenser. Beer is supposed to sit in a yeast cake when you drink it!!! If you want a good craft beer do it the right way not with stupid product like this.

Let us begin with the plus side. The assembly was very easy, and no leaks occured while pressure testing the unit. Well written manual with a lot of pictures needed for people unintelligent enough to purchase this kit, including myself. Ok, moving on to the bad stuff. I am actually quite sure that this machine could produce semi-decent beer if the beer mixes (along with yeast) were any good. Unfortunately, none of the mixes provided by this company are even close to good. In fact, they are completely horrible. I tried several different batches, all of which were closely monitored with regards to pressure and temperature, and all of it went down the drain upon completion. And yes, I did clean and sterilize the unit before each start. I followed the instructions to the letter, and for one batch, I even used boiled water to positively ensure a completely microbe free setting. No difference at all. The device itself is probably ok, but the company has no clue what so ever on how to make/pick decent beer mixes. They really should send my taste buds an "I'm sorry"-card, as they are deeply insulted by this disgusting junk. This is not beer, this is much closer to another four letter word. If you do go ahead and buy this product, make absolutely sure that you do not use their own beer mixes, though I strongly advice you to seek other means of brewing your beloved beer. Buy proper equipment and do it the old fashioned way instead. Final verdict: It's a good thing I had the money to spare and went into this knowing full well that this was probably not going to work very well, otherwise I would have been really, really angry. As a matter of fact, I work at a place that carry this particular machine, and I will now do everything in my power to make sure that we discontinue this product immediately. PS: I saw a live test (after the purchase) on their Youtube channel, in which test subjects got to pick the best beer out of a line-up of brand names. The beer from The Beer Machine won 8 out of 10 times I think. Hilarious. DS.

I wanted so much to love my beer machine it looks great and it was simple to start producing what turned out to be a disgusting pond coloured brown water with an odd beer like taste. The beer just wont clear I would suggest 4 can bought from the Tesco own brand range would taste better and be cheaper per pint

No, this is a waste of your hard-earned cash. The beer doesn't taste all that great and it's just some kind of mixture that you pour in instead of real hops and malt. It's embarrassing to meet people who know what real beer tastes like and offer them a glass of this junk. They laugh and think you have been had. Which you have!!!! Don't buy it!!!!! Please don't buy this piece of garbage!!!!!

The Beer Machine is a complete and utter waste of time, effort and money. There are no good points. It is impossible to seal, it leaks, the pressure relief valve doesn't work, the beer won't clear
