By seamlessly integrating with home automation systems such as SmartThings via WiFi, Zigbee, Z-Wave or Bluetooth, Monsieur harnesses intelligence to become your very own personal butler. We've also built in features to encourage responsible drinking by monitoring consumption, estimating blood alcohol levels and even helping users order a cab."The Monsieur mobile app puts a personal bartender right in the palm of your hand no matter where you are. "The goal of Monsieur is to redefine the social drinking experience by using smart technology to create a personal bartender, assistant and mixologist for everyone – providing an unmatched cocktail experience, anywhere you might be.

Feeling thirsty yet? Well, you can head on over to the Kickstarter page to find out more about the founders, the technology and how you can help get the party started. There's even an on-board cleaning mode, which runs hot water through the machine to force out unpleasantries, such as OJ pulp. If you're in New York, Miami, Los Angeles or San Francisco, there's a feature that can automatically send a restock order to select vendors - refills appear at your doorstep so you can swap them right in. There's also a "surprise me" mode if making a decision just isn't your thing.Īs for keeping ingredients topped up, the app will track stock levels and alert you when you're running low on supplies. Party goers can also browse the drink list while waiting to use the tablet interface, cutting down on wait time for the perennially undecided. An Event feature lets multiple users send in their drink orders, which go into a queue to be dispensed in the order that they arrived. The partner app for iOS and Android lets you connect directly to any Monsieur machine to place drink orders remotely, as long as you have the machine ID. It'll even call you a cab via integrated apps like Uber.Īnd the fun doesn't stop there. And for those wild nights, the app can also estimate your blood alcohol content based on the drink count. If you have an extra long day, the robotic bartender can automatically make you a double as you walk through the door, based on your late arrival. There are even more smart features baked in, including one that lets you schedule a cocktail to appear just as your favorite TV show begins. Dispensing can also be timed for specific ingredients, for instance, letting you float grenadine on top for a Tequila Sunrise. (The four-bottle version excludes a tablet, but a smartphone app duplicates all functionality.) It's pre-loaded with drink profiles like Tiki Bar, Mardi Gras and Irish Pub (each can make between 10 and 25 drinks, depending on the number of bottles installed), and lets you adjust the mix of ingredients on the fly or in your profile settings. The dispenser compartment sits along the bottom of the front panel, with cup sensors off to the left side of the tray so you don't accidentally pour one out for the homies.įront and center you'll find a cutout that holds a Nexus 10 tablet and serves as the main interface running the Monsieur app. A removable power cord attaches to the rear of the machine, but there's also a rechargeable battery, which we're told should last about six hours, so wire-free mobility is a bonus. Refrigeration doesn't come standard here, but it's an available option if you want to keep your OJ and other perishables fresh. The attachments can accommodate 750ml store-bought bottles, too, if that's your preference. Ingredients are stowed in 1.5-liter bottles behind a removable panel at the rear of the machine and quick-connect hoses link up to the pump mechanism inside. We checked out the eight-container model, which retails for $2,699, but you'll soon be able to nab a four-container consumer version for $1,499.
