For those of us not content with simply going down the pub and having a Jagermeister out the fridge – there’s help (if “help” can be construed to mean “assistance in attaining extreme inebriation”) at hand. That’s right – the infamous Jagermeister machine (there are several variants, actually, but they all do pretty much the same thing) is available – kind of – for public consumption. Want to buy jagermeister machine bits, or the machine itself? Read on.
First thing you’ll need to know is this: unless you try to buy Jagermeister cooler machines on the world’s most famous auction site, you could well end up entering into some kind of trade agreement. That’s because Jagermeister machines are generally designed for public use – i.e., feeding the most popular combinations of the stuff into the masses at a rate of knots. You don’t really need one at home – not that that ought to stop you if you want one, of course. A Jager machine basically makes up Jager Bombs, which makes the life of the bartender a whole lot easier than it used to be – you just pop in a bottle and the requisite mixer and the evil little cocktails spit out into branded glasses. A person looking to buy Jagermeister machine bits, like the glasses and the mixer capsules, will have to go to the companies that make them – they’re all linked officially with Jagermeister and they have their own rules about how much you can buy as a minimum, and so on.
You can also buy Jagermeister cooler machines as straight shot makers – which, again, are designed to aid the busy barkeep. Come 9pm on a Friday night, the whole world wants Jager, chilled (as recommended by the company) – so instead of repeatedly hefting one of those bottles (which are way too small to meet demand), a pub can buy Jagermeister machine kits that hold multiple bottles in a chilled “tap” arrangement – effectively making the drink a draught product. That would certainly do well on the home bar of a Jager addict – like everything well-branded, Jagermeister has a loyal following all its own – but, again, unless you get lucky with the aforementioned auction site, you’re going to have to go trade: and that means buying thousands of shot glasses and a specific quantity of bottles. Not that that should stop you, of course – heck, that’s the kind of product that can keep a party going for a whole weekend.
That said, there is one company that has spotted the gap in the Jager market. You can buy Jagermeister machine kits from a couple of their online sources, without auction and without having to tie yourself in to a trade deal, that are specifically designed for home use. Buy Jagermeister cooler kits from these sources and you’re home free. Though, even then, one wonders whether it might not be easier just to keep your bottles in the fridge?
