Heineken BeerTender Disposable Taps
If you love beer as much as I do, then you won't be disappointed in the new Heineken Mini Draft Machine for the home bar. I really think that Heineken hit a home run with this machine. I would prefer that they create a beer tube that was "washable and reusable", but the cost is no issue here and the ease of use makes it a mute point.

Reusable If You're Careful
The BeerTender recommends using a new tube for each mini-keg, and at about a dollar each that's not a big deal. However, if you have run out of tubes, or just want to be thrify, they can easily be reused at least a couple times. Here's how:

o Put the empty mini-keg in a sink.
o With the tube's spout pointing toward the drain, push the two white barrel fittings together. This manually operates the tap to relieve pressure in the mini-keg.
o Wait a few seconds for all the foam to drain out.
o Use a screwdriver or butter knife to remove the top part of the tap. There are three tabs on this gray cover piece; pry back one or two to lift it off.
o Remove the part still attached to the mini-keg by pushing back the tabs holding it to the top of the keg. Use a screwdriver or butter knife on the inside part of the tap - accessible with the cover removed - to release these tabs.
o Thoroughly rinse the tap, tube, and spout. With the barrel connectors still pushed together, run a stream of water into the spout and it should drain through the tube and out the small holes in the tap.
o Snap the cover piece back onto the tap with the larger hose cut-out aligned with the tube.
o Pull the barrel connectors apart to manually close the tap to make it ready it for the next mini-keg. Be sure the whole thing is very clean, especially if not using immediately.

I've used one tap three or four times, and it still works fine (no leaks, similar pour). I suspect they recommend using a new one every time because it can be messy removing it from the mini-key and the potential for it to get moldy if not cleaned.

Don't forget the part about relieving the residual pressure, or you will probably have a beer geyser when the gray cover is removed.

As advertised
Not much to say here. They do what they are supposed to. They are hard to find locally.
