| 1172510 | 2011-01-25 07:23:00 | www.stuff.co.nz Great idea, or just a gimmick? Seems good sense, and less likely to produce a crazy head on the beer - might be a must have for those pubs selling Guinness. |

| 1172511 | 2011-01-25 07:30:00 | Cool! Just think what a difference it would make at a stadium!! Get rid of those bottles - hoons won't throw plastic glasses... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1172512 | 2011-01-25 08:06:00 | Very impressive how they've managed to implement it without it either costing heaps to make a cup or having it all leak out once it's filled. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1172513 | 2011-01-25 08:27:00 | Amazing machine. At first I thought that an Irishman must have invented it. We all know that beer is poured into the top of the glass not through the bottom. Watching the clip I see the law of gravity being defied. It is amazing that no beer flows out the bottom. The hole at the bottom must be filled up super quick. | Bobh (5192) | ||

| 1172515 | 2011-01-25 10:09:00 | Only problem I can see there is that the bartender has a few difficulties getting the cups ON the machine, it also looks awkward and slow when he takes the full ones off. A fully autonomous solution perhaps? or maybe a better system for loading and unloading, perhaps the customer should just take his cup when done? |

| 1172516 | 2011-01-25 18:34:00 | Yeah, I hadn't thought about how the cup base has to get sealed against the dispenser nozzle, otherwise there's a lot of waste. It presumably must be clipped in somehow, otherwise the cup would float off the dispenser. I suppose wasted beer is not much of a concern when the aim of the thing is to maximise the flow of cash going across the bar. |

| 1172517 | 2011-01-25 18:51:00 | www.stuff.co.nz might be a must have for those pubs selling Guinness. I think you will find it will probably only work on those fizzy alcopops like Speights or CD not on real beer that require a slow regular pull from a hand pump |

| 1172519 | 2011-01-25 23:20:00 | I think you'll find that the 'glasses' are not (supposed to be) reusable. Here's a similar invention (but poured without the need for a seal in the bottom of the glass): http://turbotap.com/ |
