With the weather feeling increasingly grim outside, you might not fancy leaving your warm and cosy house to go to the pub. But what if you’re really hankering for a perfectly poured pint?
Right now, you can bring that luxury home with the Philips PerfectDraft Beer Keg Machine for £264.78, down from £374.99 at Amazon (price correct at the time of writing). Promising fresh, cold draught beer every time, the PerfectDraft is an at-home beer dispenser specially-designed to give you pub-quality pulls without fail. An LCD display keeps you abreast of your current keg’s temperature, volume and freshness, and all the parts that make contact with each keg are replaced each time to ensure sanitary and high-calibre beer.
Featuring a real tap handle and six-litre kegs, this is both the ideal way to elevate your hosting capabilities and live like a king after a long day at the office. It’s compatible with a broad range of kegs, although for best results you’re better off hunting down PerfectDraft versions of your favourite beers.

This little luxury has been worth the outlay for most Amazon customers, with an average review score of 4.6 out of 5 stars from 318 write-ups. “Low noise. Looks great. Highly recommended,” said one simple but effective five-star review.
“I love this!” raved another. “Really pours an excellent beer – nice and cold. Great choice of beers available and a massive crowd pleaser at any party.”
Another added: “Unreal for anyone that wants to level up their home bar experience. If you didn’t know you needed this for your kitchen, you do now!”
Some have noted the occasional issue, however. “Tastes great, works fine but probably loses a pint a week,” said one three-star review. “Yes, that’s how much it continues to drip after use.” Another said: “We find it difficult to source the beer kegs that we like – and they don’t last as long as we were expecting, but maybe that’s our fault for having too high expectations!”
If Guinness is your preferred poison, splitting the G at home is all the more satisfying if it’s been poured using a Nitrosurge device, available for £30 at Tesco. Another alternative is the Draft Wizard Beer Dispenser for £70 at Boots.
That said, for truly impressive results, it’s well worth checking out the Philips PerfectDraft.
