NEW YORK, JULY 20 — Barsys today began shipping the first batch of the Shaker Pro, its $45 smart cocktail shaker, after the launch allocation sold out. Batch two opened the same day. What follows is the state of the program: the timeline as it happened, the price as it moved, and the work ahead by horizon.

The timeline On record

FIG. 1 — Stage to doorstep in six months. Unveiled at CES in January; the free Barsys AI companion app reached the App Store and Google Play in May; orders opened July 16 and the launch batch was gone in four days.

The price, as it moved Actuals

FIG. 2 — No strikethrough theater. Launch buyers paid $39.99. From July 20 the walk-up price is $45; a one-time signup code takes any order to $35. Every number on this chart is a price someone actually pays.

In certification In certification

BatteryCertified capacity, pours-per-charge, and charge time. We print measured numbers, not estimates — they publish on the spec sheet the moment certification completes.
PrecisionThe full pour-tolerance table and its measurement method — the receipts behind the <1 mL claim — publish alongside.

In build In build

FirmwareSmarter sensing thresholds for light vessels, resume-after-drop so an interrupted pour picks up where it stopped, and a gift mode for first-pour setup straight out of the box.
App marketsAdditional countries beyond the US + India launch pair, rolling out region by region.

Exploring Exploring

CreatorsA creator marketplace — curator profiles and recipes from the bartenders and bars you follow, craftable on your own hardware.
SpeakeasyAn AI concoction engine for original drinks — Barbot's laboratory, with community sharing.
SocialMixlist sharing and referrals — build a menu, send it to the group chat, everyone's device knows the pour.
LocalLocal culture feeds — what your city is drinking, events, and bars worth the trip.

One promise underneath all of it: the Shaker Pro you buy this week is the platform, not a stepping stone. Firmware and app updates land on the hardware already on your counter — the instrument gets smarter without asking you to buy it twice.
