The Coaster you unbox is the least capable Coaster you will ever own. That is the whole point of building the intelligence in software: the hardware is a beautifully finished floor, and everything above it arrives over the air. The original Coaster got measurably better for years after it shipped. The 2.0 was designed with even more headroom — and here is what's already landed, and what's next.
None of this costs anything. There is no "pro tier," no subscription, no update you have to pay to unlock. You bought the stage once; the shows keep coming.
The hardware you buy is the floor, not the ceiling.
What's already shipped
Every one of these arrived as a free over-the-air update to devices already on people's bars — no new hardware, no re-purchase.
At launch1,965 crafted recipes, guided-pour light choreography, and the free Barsys AI app pairing over Bluetooth 5.1.
UpdateBarbot, the AI bartender — describe any drink in plain language and it composes a pourable recipe on demand. No ceiling on the library.
UpdateFull zero-proof collection — the same precision applied to session drinks and alcohol-free builds, with ABV shown per recipe.
UpdatePersonalization — the app learns your taste and tunes each recipe toward it, from sweetness to strength.
UpdateRefined sensing logic — better tolerance for real-world pours, heavy hands, and unusual glassware.
What's next on the bench
The honest version: these are the directions, not dated promises. What ships depends on what proves out — but the mechanism to deliver it (free, over the air) is already in your hands.
NextWeekly recipe drops — a curated set every week, tied to the season, the occasion, and what the world is actually drinking.
ExploringBrand and mixologist signature serves — the exact builds from the bars and makers you already love.
ExploringThe house pour — save your own composition and make it the default the moment you set a glass down.
ExploringBeyond cocktails — the same "pour to the light" precision applied to coffee, kitchen measurement, and everyday tasks.
The Coaster is a scale, a light, and a promise: that the thing on your bar in five years will do more than the thing you unboxed tonight — and that you'll never get an invoice for the difference.
