Nothing beats filling bottles with this thing. It's compact, reliable, extemely easy to clean and can fill the most carbonated saison without over-foaming. Beats the Blichmann in every way.

What is missing from the product description is that the unit requires a minimum of 12" from the bottom of the tap to get a bottle (even a 12 oz size) inserted under and up into the Tapcooler. The problem is that most kegerator towers are 12" high and the distance from the bottom of the tap to the top of the kegerator is only 9" -- that's 3+ inches too short. The only way I can use the Tapcooler is disconnect the keg then use a tap wrench to loosen and turn the tap to a 45° angle retighten the tap fitting then reconnect the keg and then finally I can fill a bottle. Not an ideal situation.

Makes filling standard bottles easy.

As others have pointed out there is a learning curve to getting this to work as advertised. I found a use for the bar scale on my regulator's pressure gauge- .5 bar of pressure is perfect for filling. Having a kegerator with a tower I needed to purchase the extension tube in order to fill bottles. Much better than using a piece of tubing to fill bottles and growlers and getting nothing but foam!

Although I think this device will work well if you have a kegerator you cannot fit it onto a bottle without the extender {$17.88) -- there just isn't enough room between the tap and the kegerator base to fit both the device and the bottle. So order both together or risk paying extra shipping.

At first it was a bit disappointing but after a bit of research and video watching I figured it out. Still working on the finesse of it but all in all a great addition to my setup. Instructions could be a tiny bit more detailed. Would like a fitting that worked with cheeper taps but the hookup for direct keg setup works well too. Definitely worth the price.

This thing is great. I used to use a faucet adapter and hose to fill bottles. This is compact and comes in its own storage case. Because it's a counter pressure filler there is very little head allowing for a controlled full fill. Love it!

I love the device I would rather be able to buy the replacement parts through you instead of your supplier.

I actually like this product its compactness and ease of use pretty slick but have had one problem: the pressure relief valve on my unit leaks pressure most of the time. I can still use it by keeping a finger over the valve outlet restricting the pressure manually but you want that extra hand free sometimes; sometimes when you least expect to. I remove and sanitize the innards of the valve between infrequent uses and have tried keg lube on the rubber so it does occasionally and inexplicably hold the pressure but on those occasions it tends to get temporarily stuck closed. I didn't get a helpful resolution from the company when I inquired.

Having moved to kegging long ago it is nice to be able to bottle off your beer from your existing taps.

I think this tool is fantastic but plan on a couple practice bottles to get started due to the foam. Once you get the rhythm down you are home free. The small profile quick use and easy cleaning are paramount. I would not go in any other direction for filling growlers or bottles at home.

This Tapcooler is by far the best and easiest way to fill bottles or growlers. It took me a couple tries to dial it in. I've used other counter pressure filters and this is the easiest

I haven't used any other counter-pressure fillers but based on a few reviews I elected to get this one specifically for a project to bottle a couple hundred beers. I did my first test bottlings last night and it worked great! I think the easiest way to set the pressure relief knob is by sealing an empty bottle on triggering the gas purge and turning the knob until gas just starts to leak through. Then you can open the tap handle and adjust the knob to go faster if needed. I would like to find out how to keep the small amount of foam on top of the liquid from spraying out the pressure relief valve when the bottle reaches full. And bottling is never a perfectly clean process so I laid down a towel and put a bucket under the filler to catch the drips which made clean up super easy.

Definitely recommend practicing with some star san or water in a keg before beer to get the hang of it. After some very simple troubleshooting with the PRV (took it apart and cleaned it) it works like a charm. The ball lock adapter is a must have.
