£360 for a tap... really?

[AnimatedGIF]

Nothing much to add to be honest. I am in shock
https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/lukr-baroko-freedom-tap-silver/What on earth justifies this price? I thought I was being extravagant getting 5 nukataps...

Decimal point in the wrong place, surely!

Did you ever take apart a nukatap?

The misprint must be elsewhere. Perhaps they have said Stainless Steel instead of 24k Gold!

Obviously some novelty value built into the price, but at least you can be sure it's not manufactured with using child labour. A side pull version on my list for the new year, I'll keep you updated.

I clocked these on Malt Miller the other day. They are absolutely beautiful looking things tbf, and I suppose the more money than sense market has to be catered for too.

I have a Lukr sidepour in gold colour (it probably should be real gold given the price). The quality is extraordinary, and for a proper Czech pour it's a great thing.

Could someone explain what the expensive one on the left does that the much cheaper one from our sponsor Dark Farm on the right doesn't.

it alleviates you of £300 more

The Dark Farm one is just a tap. The Lindr one is an authentic Czech sidepour tap that allows you to do the specialist Czech Pilsner pours like these:

There’s also a couple of videos in the Maltmiller link in the OP that go through the Czech side pour.

Worth looking at the exploded drawings to understand how much difference there is in normal taps and something like the Lukr.

Also they are made in Czech so you'd hope by someone earning a decent wage.

This tap would not be under my Christmas tree this year even if I had listed on my list.
I just cant see these flying off the shelves
