    All that time and it still manages to spill a load and put a 4 inch head on the rest.

    Those 4 inches of head are a Japanese custom. Try telling them you only want about a centimetre of head on your beer and they look at you as if you're mad :lol: It's true !

    Great Robot though.

    Indeed, although according to a barman it's because most of the flavour is in the head.

    No kidding. It shouldn't take the best part of 4 minutes, 4 button presses, and that much chatter to get a can clumsily into a glass. One look at the amount of head on it... ugh, that stuff always makes me feel like puking. The Japanese actually go out of their way to put head on their lager? I've heard some strange shit about Japan but that's in a league of its own.

    This is great if you're too drunk to serve yourself another beer.

    I also like it how it TILTS the mug! That is the right way to serve beer.

    1/ I'm never too drunk to drink out of the can, especially if that's the alternative.

    2/ It may tilt the mug, but it throws the beer down there. What that robot does to that lager is not the right way to serve any fizzy drink.

    Forget the crap pouring and the annoying voice, I think the scrolling LED messages and its "facial expressions" are great!

    Yep, they sure do ! I always tell them that I want a FULL glass of beer/larger not a 3/4 filled glass with a few inches of head :rolleyes: Drinking in a Japanese pub (if you find one) is pretty cool mind you because they chill all the glasses so when you get your pint it's got a lovely frost all around the glass. Fantastic in summer time :thumbsup:

    I bet the company that made this is into money-laundring.. i can't explain a decision to manufacture shit like this to a proper board of directors.

    If you can drink it using your mits, you might as well open the can! :p

    It must have been designed by an American. Look at the way it pours that beer! He would have got a head butt in Scotland for that kind of behaviour :lol:

    I counted 2:30mins before that little twat finished pouring that beer (badly as it happens - more head than entirely necessary). Much easier to just rip the bloody thing out of the plastic lift as it's talking away in Japanese and run back to the TV.

    GLASWEIGAN BUYS ASAHI BEER ROBOT (Act #1)

    "Look guys, I bought this wee f**king gizmo doon the Barra's aff a bas*ards I ken for a fiver.... tells me it pours yer beers fer ya! What a stupit idea.... so I bought it anyhow"

    <Later that evening whilst watching football on TV>

    "Darlin, nah need to even f**king move noo, I hiv the beers for the lads covered right here (whips cover off gleeming Asahi Beer Robot) - voila!"

    "Whit in the name of all tis holy iz that?"

    "Ma new best pal - it geez yiz aw beers without goin in tae the fridge fer f**k sake!"

    <Presses first wee button and up chimes some comic japanese voice>

    "Listen tae that we moose singing" <laughter>

    "Noo, watch as it pours oot all these beers fer the lad <asks mates on sofa> Who wants a beer? Alec, Tam, Rab?"

    <30seconds into the process>

    "Fer gawd sake, this is taking FER EVER!!!! HURRY UP YEAH WEE GOB SHITE!"

    <Machine stops>

    "See, ya daft bas*ard yer shoutin' broke it - say sorry!" <laughs!>

    "Nah, serious like, what noo" <prods randon buttons then hits START by accident>

    "Ah, see there ya go, jist needed a wee wake up call"

    <1:30sec into process>

    "Christ am I parched! Dry as a nuns..... <lift ascends> WOAH HOOO BOYS HERE IT COMES!"

    <2 seconds later>

    "Jist rip the fe**king cans out that we mini fridge fer gawd sake"

    <Kicks Asahi Beer Robot out window sans cans of brew>

    THE END
