Overview

The Jägermeister Tap Machine® Model JEM is a unique display, refrigeration, and delivery system designed to chill and dispense Jägermeister Herbal Liqueur at temperatures well below freezing, specifically 0°F (-18°C). It is marketed as "The Quickest, Easiest Way To Pour Colder-Than-Ice® Shots" and boasts "Over 16 Years of Pouring Perfection." This machine is intended for both commercial (corner bar) and home bar use, providing consistently cold Jägermeister shots.

Function Description:

The JEM Tap Machine operates by chilling Jägermeister within its internal cooling system and dispensing it through a standard draft beer-type faucet. It does not use motors or pumps for dispensing, relying on a gravity-fed system once the bottles are inverted and inserted. The machine features an internal display lighting that changes from a standard black and white Jägermeister logo to a dramatic "Jägermeister Orange" logo when the power switch is turned "On." A digital indicator in the upper right corner of the machine provides an indication of the Jägermeister level in the cooling system. An "L" indicates less than 420 ml, disabling the refrigeration system as a safety feature. An "F" indicates a level above 420 ml, allowing the refrigeration system to operate. The machine is designed to hold only 750 ml or 1.0 L Jägermeister bottles, with a total capacity of approximately 1.5 liters (53 ounces) of Jägermeister.
