The Barsys Smart Coaster 2.0 is a battery-powered scale and light ring that sits under your mixing glass and connects to a free phone app. Pick a recipe from the app library, start pouring, and the LED ring tracks the weight of what lands in the glass, changing color as you approach the target amount for each ingredient. It replaces the jigger step entirely, which is where most home drinks go wrong. The coaster is about the size of a drink coaster, charges over USB, and cleans with a wipe. No subscription is required to use the recipe library. Best fit: home bar setups, people who own spirits but never learned ratios, and anyone who wants a cocktail routine without measuring tools crowding the counter.
Pros
- Removes the jigger from the process entirely, so you pour straight into the glass
- App recipe library is free with no subscription attached
- Compact enough to leave out on a bar cart instead of stashing in a drawer
- Works with any glass you already own rather than a proprietary vessel
Cons
- It measures and guides but does not pour, so you still do all the work by hand
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a subscription to use the app?
No. The Barsys app and its recipe library are free to use with the coaster.
Does it actually pour the drink for me?
No. It is a smart scale with a light ring that tells you when to stop pouring each ingredient. You do the pouring and stirring yourself.
Can I use my own glassware with it?
Yes. The coaster measures by weight, so any mixing glass or shaker tin that fits on the pad works.
How does it get power?
It has an internal rechargeable battery that tops up over USB, so there is no cord in the way while you are mixing.
Will it work for mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks?
Yes. The measuring is just weight-based, so any recipe you can enter or find in the app works the same way.
