The PerfectDraft Pro Black looks smart, chills fast and turns a kitchen corner into something that feels much closer to a home bar.
The PerfectDraft Pro Black arrived just in time for the bank holiday weekend, and my husband was properly impressed before we’d even plugged it in. The Corona Extra Starter Bundle is currently down to £299.99 from £350, and it immediately felt more like opening a new bit of home entertainment kit than unpacking another kitchen appliance.
The all-black finish on the PerfectDraft Pro looks really sleek and modern. It doesn’t have that bulky appliance feel. It actually fits in nicely in the kitchen and almost feels like a mini home bar setup rather than a beer machine.
Setting it up was much easier than I expected. Everything is quite self-explanatory, and the instructions are clear enough that we didn’t have to keep stopping and double-checking things, which meant we were up and running pretty quickly.
The first keg went in smoothly and, within a short amount of time, it was already chilling down. The fast cooling is no joke either. It gets to temperature quickly and keeps it stable, even when the kitchen warmed up over the weekend with people coming in and out.
The Corona Extra keg has been perfect for this time of year. There are so many others to choose from such as BrewDog, Stella Artois - or if you’re not a fan of beer you can also try the Kopperberg. It pours really nicely too, with that proper bar-style head when you get it right, which makes it feel a bit more special than just opening bottles or cans.
My husband has especially enjoyed the app connectivity. At first I thought it might be a bit of a gimmick, but it’s actually a quite handy way to check temperature and settings from your phone and tweak things without going over to the machine. It’s one of those features that makes it feel more “smart” and modern, and he’s had fun playing around with it.
Cleaning the PerfectDraft Pro black has also been surprisingly simple, which I was a bit worried about beforehand. It doesn’t feel like a chore, and that makes a big difference because it means we’re more likely to keep using it regularly rather than it becoming something that sits unused after the initial excitement.
It’s already become the centrepiece for weekends at home. With summer coming up and big events like the World Cup 2026, I can easily see it getting a lot of use for match days, BBQs, and evenings with friends. It’s one of those rare gifts that genuinely feels like it will keep getting better the more we use it.
