The kitchen equipment brand Zephyr recently expanded its collection of wine and beverage coolers with the introduction of the Presrv Kegerator & Beverage Cooler, which it’s calling an “industry-first hybrid.”. This kegerator and beverage cooler features five distinct configurations with single, double and triple tap options, and it easily converts to a beverage cooler when a keg is not installed. The kegerator supports one half barrel keg with a single tap, two sixth barrel kegs with a double tap and up to three sixth barrel kegs with a triple tap.
According to this article in Craft Brewing Business, what sets this cooler above the rest is the ability to convert the unit into a beverage cooler with adjustable glass shelves. While in the hybrid configuration, the kegerator and beverage cooler can accommodate one sixth or one slim quarter barrel keg with a single tap and two adjustable glass shelves that stores up to 53 cans of alternative beverages such as hard seltzers, soda, and sparkling water — all from the at-home bar.
Kegerator options are hardly the last call on this hybrid party pleaser. The unit transforms into a single zone beverage cooler — sans tap or keg — with four glass shelves to chill up to 107 cans of soda, seltzers, water or juice.
“What truly makes the kegerator and beverage cooler unique is its versatility,” said Luke Siow, Zephyr president. “You can customize the unit to meet your needs — whether hosting a big party, game night with friends, or just simply having all of the family’s favorite beverages available. And the Kegerator & Beverage Cooler features our signature, superior craftsmanship, combining high-quality performance with attainable luxury.”
Single, double, and triple tap kits are sold separately and include the tap tower, tap(s), CO2 tank, regulator(s) and D-style keg coupler(s). Optional accessories include a drink guardrail, casters, beverage cooler conversion kit, and a beer line cleaning kit. Additional features include: Three-color LED lighting settings (cloud white, deep blue, and amber), an easy-to-clean stainless steel drip tray, and electronic capacitive touch controls.
The Presrv Kegerator & Beverage Cooler features PreciseTemp with multiple internal sensors to maintain accurate temperatures. The ENERGY STAR certified unit offers a cooling range from a crisp 32 degrees — one of the coldest units on the market — to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The indoor model includes a display window with three-layer, Low-e Argon-filled glass door further maintains optimal chill, while Active Cooling Technology offers even cooling via on-board computer-controlled fans. The unit also features a Beer Line Cooling system, which blows cool air onto the beer line for a lasting chill and foam-reduced finish to bring out the fresh taste and distinct flavors.
