Tabletop Drink Dispenser F.A.Q.
1. What is The Boozooka?
It is a patented drinks serving device which allows parties to fill their own glasses at their table or at the bar. In the shape of a vertical transparent tube with a tap it attracts attention, is portable, allows self-service and is fun to use. In business terms it increases drinks turnover and reduces staff requirements in any venue where drinks are served.
2. Does it go on the table?
Yes. Or you can put the Boozooka on a shelf or bar surface. Anywhere, in fact, where drinkers can congregate, either standing or sitting down.
3. How is it used in a bar?
The Boozooka comes in two parts that fit together: A tube with an attached tap and a portable base. The bartender or user fills the tube from a bar tap or from bottles. The tube full of drink and the base are then taken to the drinking location (bar, table, shelf) where a group of drinkers can fill their own glasses. The tap swivels horizontally at the touch of a finger for round-thetable serving. All the bar staff or user has to do afterwards is retrieve the empty Boozooka for washing and re-use.
4. What's the advantage over a jug?
First, it looks a lot more impressive and attracts a lot of attention. Second, it empties faster: Everyone wants to have a go at pulling the tap and watching that level go down! And unlike a jug, the Boozooka can be kept cool with the ice tube.
5. What drinks can I put in the Boozooka?
Beer, wine, shots, spirits, mixers, juices, soft drinks, water, cocktails... the list is endless.
6. Won't it tip over?
No. Our specially designed weighted base keeps even the Large tube rock-solid and vertical. Beware of cheap versions with hollow bases.
7. How many models are there?
There are three sizes of The Boozooka, Small, Medium and Large, and several accessories for cooling, cleaning and carrying. (See Sizes)
8. Does the drink remain cold?
The polycarbonate tube is a good thermal insulator but if ambient temperature is high or if you wish to keep the drink cold for a long period we recommend our tried and tested cooling accessories. (See Cooling and Cleaning)
9. Don't fizzy drinks loose their gas?
Not noticeably if the drink is kept cold.
10. You offer two cooling systems, which is best?
The internal Ice Tube looks great and if used properly (with ice and water) it will keep the drink continually cold. If capacity is a concern the external Ice Sleeves are also a good solution, and a flexible one too - you can use several Ice Sleeves on one tube.
11. Doesn't melting ice dilute the drink?
No. The ice is in a separate tube from the drink therefoe there is no contact the ice and the drink.
12. Won't it foam if I fill it with beer?
Not if you follow these simple instructions: (1) Give the tube a quick rinse with cold water. (2) Fill at the beer tap whilst holding the tube at an angle, like you would a long glass. Allow the nozzle of the beer tap to gently come into contact with the inside of the tube. The beer will slide down the inner surface without breaking into foam. (3) Add an optional head of foam for effect. If filling from bottles the same method applies.
13. Isn't the tube tricky to carry when full?
No. Carry the tube at an angle by placing one hand beneath the tap and the other around the top of the tube. Like that you will be able to carry even the largest Boozooka with ease and safety.
14. How do you clean The Boozooka?
After use, rinse well and make water flow through the tap. Then wash the inside of the tube with warm water and mild washing-up liquid. We offer a cleaning brush to make the job even simpler. If necessary The Boozooka can be dismantled for thorough washing. The Boozooka's are dishwasher safe up to 60 ºC / 140 ºF. Ensure that The Boozooka is rinsed thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
15. Is it hygienic?
Yes, very. No part is ever in contact with the user's mouth. All components are easy to clean or rinse through. All materials comply with international food-safety regulations.
16. What do I do if a component breaks?
The Boozooka is designed for prolonged use in busy bars and is made out of durable components, including impact-resistant polycarbonate tubes. However, if any component accidentally breaks or fails due to wear, it can be purchased as a spare.
17. What is the Boozooka made out of?
Mainly impact-resistant plastics which are fully compliant with both American FDA and European Union food-safety regulations (certifications available). See [Technical] for specifications.
