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 carbonation into a dense, uniform Micro-Foam — the nitro-style draft technique — and works with any can or bottle up to 750ml.
The taste difference is consistent across reviews: smoother mouthfeel, more aroma, IPAs more citrusy, stouts creamier, less metallic edge from cans. It runs off USB or two AA batteries, so it's genuinely portable for camping or tailgating, and the build looks good enough that several bought it as a bar-setup gift. It's not universal though: at least one detailed reviewer's recipient tried several beers and couldn't taste much difference, leaving it unused — a real counterpoint. Two quirks: pouring from a bottle leaves a small amount undrinkable (the intake tube doesn't reach the very bottom), and switching beers means rinsing with warm water between pours. If you or your giftee genuinely cares about beer and drinks a lot of canned or bottled beer at home, most say it's worth the price; if taste differences this subtle won't register, it may end up 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.
