This WIRED article, by Gear team writer Matthew Korfhage, is a shopping guide to current discounts on the Bartesian, an automatic capsule-based cocktail machine likened to a "Keurig of cocktails". It matters chiefly as consumer advice, explaining that shoppers can currently save up to 35% off through various offers rather than paying full price for the device or its pods.

The piece describes how the machine works — you add your own spirits, water and a cocktail capsule (typically $2-3), then select strength and press "mix" — and gives an honest verdict that the drinks are strong, sweet and fun rather than sophisticated. It then lists the main ways to save: a free-to-enter contest to win a Lemon Drop Bundle (closing 1 August); a pod subscription offering tiered discounts up to 35%; cocktail bundles that add glassware for roughly the price of the machine alone; a Mother's Day deal offering $100 off certain machines (as of April 2026); a free rewards loyalty scheme; and a friend-referral programme giving $25 to both parties.
