Anyone seen the electric bar tap in Aldi claims to make cans taste like draft?
Gimmick or worth a punt?

Is this like the Guinness Nitrogen thing?
This explains it well. Can't really see the point myself. Ymmd
Looks ok for getting a decent head on stout for example?

Sorry. Can't comment, died while watching the video....
I'm glad you recovered from your death to be able to post on here.

Solution to a problem that never existed!
I picked one up on a punt last night but disappointed only fits can 500ml pet bottles do not fit or most of my glasses.
Does as says but restricted to cans only

Its all about the Fizzics 
He did say that in the video review. About 10 minutes in, just before I fell asleep.
As you see my reaction to the video was not as severe as @MashBag
Why do people make such long an boring videos?
Didn't even have an excessive length warning at the start
Why do people buy the thing in the first place
More money than sense?
YouTube certainly was more likely to monetise your video if it was longer than 10 minutes.
Whether that’s still the case I don’t know. Either way it still needs people to stay watching it, so you couldn’t launch a 10 minute video with only 1 useful minute.
Well I tried tonight with my homebrew stout back to back one from the bottle one from the tap.
Ok hands up I may have over carbonated the stout slightly but from the tap was good head and much smoother like the real thing in case it was in my head poured from a bottle not as smooth and head dies away quicker.
Bit of faffing but I enjoyed the one from the tap

It's £25, not exactly an extravagant purchase
at that price I can see why people would buy it for the novelty factor. A lot of us have dedicated fridges and probably wouldn't give it a second glance but I can certainly see the novelty of it from someone that hasn't got a beer tap at home
Do you can your homebrew, or does it work with bottles?
Well if you could stay longer than Rod, he tells you the cheap Aldi one only works with cans.
So not much use to most home brewers.
Unless you keep an old can so you can pour your bottle into it & leave the sediment behind.
