Because what we notice first is the beauty of the machine. Indeed it is a very beautiful object with a perfect finish! It has nothing to do with the beer pumps that we had already seen. It is made to be shown / displayed.
Anyway it was a sensation at a party we organized recently.
She stood out right away!
*** *** Refills
Refills will therefore require Torps and they were a capacity of 2 liters. Not being too big, they slip easily in the refrigerator before use.
They are commercially available or on the website "The Sub". They are more expensive than beer in bottles or drums of 5 liters. For example Torp Heineken is about 7.90.
I could see that there was little choice in supermarkets. We especially found the classic beers in our stores nearby (Heineken, Desperados ...)
If the site there are more choices (Heineken, Desperados, Affligem, Bira Morreti baffo d'oro, Pelforth blonde, Weizen Brand, Brand up, Tiger and Wieckse). By cons are quite out of stock. Prices range from 7.90 to 9.25 the Torp.
There are also 4-pack Torps 32.50 (a little cheaper).
Note that shipping fees are offered for the purchase of recharge. We must order two minimum and maximum eight.
Namely that Torp Heineken will be offered when registering on their site with the serial number of the Sub (I received about 1 month after).
*** Installation ***
The device is quite heavy, a little bulky and very stable thanks to a suction system.
The installation of the machine and a Torp is easy and fast.
There is a manual and a user guide with color diagrams that explain all the steps correctly.
By cons must follow the installation and removal of Torp for optimal use (pre-cooling 6 hours, put the tube correctly, wait until the green LED lights up, empty completely Torp, etc ' )
Once connected and installed Torp, it takes 30-35 minutes for the green LED lights up and finally you can taste his first beer!
In summary, the installation is done quickly and without complications.
*** *** Tasting
If you never use beer tap, it will take a good look at the instructions for how to properly serve a good beer without too much foam (as rinse the glass with cold water before pouring for example).
Then we tested the pump with Torp Heineken and frankly it is worthy of a coffee press. The beer is fresh and light. My husband and our guests were conquered.
Its use *** ***
It is easy to use. Just pull on the wrist quickly enough to bring out beer and avoid foaming.
The machine is silent. One does not hear when not in use and pumping is also discreet.
It is clean, because it may lose liquid in the receptacle provided (just a few drops).
She can stay on continuously. A Torp is valid 15 days. This is ideal if you want a cold beer in summer home from work!
*** Cleaning ***
This one is easy and quick. There is little to do (move the container with water, clean the spout ...).
Short no complexity at this level.
*** My husband has only complaint about it is missing an indicator, because we do not know the amount of remaining beer. ***
In conclusion, this Krups pump is a beautiful object that caused a sensation in me and around me.
She convinced us on all levels. Easy to install, use, clean and the beer is just perfect to taste. In short the qualities!
After, I think it is not necessarily intended for large receptions but for family use, indeed it is a pump installed permanently in the kitchen next to the coffee machine, for example. For the Torps still have a fairly limited capacity (8 glasses of 25 cl) and a big reception this may seem just and uneconomical especially!
So if you love beer and you have enough room in your kitchen, I recommend the Sub of krups !!!
