The Kombi Cool Tap is a [portable kegerator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverage-dispensing-system) created with ease of use, zero waste and a premium drinking experience in mind to work well for a wide range of [beer, cocktail and kombucha drinkers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-draught-cocktails) alike. The unit works by having your choice of five-gallon keg loaded in and connected before being topped with ice, which will start the cooling process for the keg as well as the internal lines for perfectly chilled pours. The unit will thus deliver 55 pours of your choice of libation or other beverage with no waste by eliminating the need for conventionally canned or bottled beers.

The Kombi Cool Tap can also be used with your choice of DIY recipe by simply filling a 2.5-gallon or 5.2-gallon keg with the drink, which will then be carbonated thanks to the [built-in CO₂ system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerflo-for-hydro-flask).
