Fizzics DraftPour Beer Dispenser
Best for: Best as a gift for someone who genuinely cares about beer and drinks a lot of cans or bottles at home — less worth it if taste differences this subtle might not register for the person using it.

Our review
At $118 and up, Fizzics' DraftPour is a serious investment for a single-purpose gadget, but at 4.4 stars from over 2,200 ratings, the people who notice a difference notice it strongly. Rather than injecting CO2, it uses sound waves to convert a beer's own natural carbonation into a dense, uniform Micro-Foam — the same technique behind nitro-style draft beer — and works with any can or bottle up to 750ml, including bomber cans.
The taste difference reviewers describe is consistent: smoother mouthfeel, more pronounced aroma, IPAs reading more citrusy, stouts creamier, lagers crisper, and less of the metallic or bitter edge some get from cans. It runs off USB power or two AA batteries, making it genuinely portable for camping or tailgating, and the zinc-reinforced build looks good enough that several reviewers specifically bought it as a gift for the bar setup rather than just the function.
It is not universal though, and worth knowing before spending the money: at least one detailed reviewer describes a recipient who tried several different beer brands through it and genuinely could not taste much difference, leaving the unit unused on the counter afterwards — a real counterpoint to the otherwise strong consensus. Two practical quirks: pouring from a bottle leaves the intake tube short of the very bottom, so a small amount is always left undrinkable through the device, and switching between different beers means rinsing it with warm water between pours to avoid mixing flavours.
If you or the person you are buying it for genuinely cares about beer and drinks a lot of canned or bottled beer at home, most reviewers say it is worth the price. If taste differences this subtle are unlikely to register, it may end up as an expensive novelty.

FAQ
Does it use CO2 cartridges?
No — it uses sound waves to work the beer's own natural carbonation into a dense foam, so there is nothing to refill or replace.
Will it work on any beer?
Reviewers report it working on lagers, IPAs, stouts, sours and more, though the size of the difference varies — at least one reviewer's recipient barely noticed a change.
Do I need batteries?
It runs on 2 AA batteries (not included) or USB power — not AAA.
Does it need cleaning between every use?
Only if you switch beer styles — rinsing with warm water between different beers prevents flavours mixing; using the same beer repeatedly needs less frequent cleaning.
