How to Pour the Perfect Pint from Your PerfectDraft Machine

You’ve got the beer. You’ve got the machine. Now it’s time for the pour. Getting it just right makes all the difference - ensuring every pint is smooth, balanced, and pub-quality. Whether you’re pouring your first pint or fine-tuning your technique, here’s how to master the PerfectDraft pour.

Step 1: Start with a Clean Glass
A clean glass is the foundation of a perfect pour. Wash your glass with warm, soapy water, then rinse it with cold water to remove any residue. This helps the beer settle properly and gives you that beautiful foamy head.
Pro tip: Use a chilled glass if you can as it helps maintain the perfect temperature and reduces excess foam.

 

Step 2: The Right Angle
Hold your glass at a 45° angle under the tap, making sure not to touch the tap itself (we don’t want to affect the flow or hygiene). This angle helps the beer flow smoothly down the side of the glass, creating a perfect base without too much foam.

Step 3: Open the Tap Fully — and Quickly
When you’re ready to pour, open the tap in one smooth motion — fully and confidently. Don’t be shy! Opening it halfway will cause turbulence and create too much foam. A full, steady pour keeps the beer flowing evenly.

Step 4: Straighten as You Fill
As your glass fills, slowly level it out, moving it to a vertical position. Stop pouring just before it reaches the rim — this should leave a perfectly balanced 2–3cm of foam on top.
And there it is - your PerfectDraft perfect pint!
