This is a GREAT family gift that can be enjoyed all year long!

The Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System is a counter top unit that has the ability to dispense a large variety of your favorite hot and cold beverages. Esio’s drop’ndrink™ technology allows users to instantly switch from cold lemonade to freshly-brewed hot coffee with no taste crossover.

Heats & Chills Water

Once you have filled your Esio Countertop with water, you have a steady supply of hot and cold drinks at your fingertips all the time. That’s because Esio doesn’t just have a heating element to create hot water, it has a compressor to refrigerate cold water (just like your refrigerator). Your Esio comes equipped with a ½ gallon hot water tank and a ½ gallon cold water tank, as well as an almost-gallon-sized reservoir to refill the tanks as you make drinks. Compare that to other limited-capacity single-serve brewers that require you to constantly add water, wait for your hot beverage to brew, and, when you want an “iced” drink, make you brew a hot beverage “over ice”, which really just waters it down.

 

 

 

Drop’n Drink Technology

The magic of the Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System is the pump at the end of every Esio beverage E-Pak. Simply drop in your favorite E-Pak, set the Strength Selector for the strength you want, and press and hold the blue/cold button or the red/hot button  Esio E-Paks are MultiServe, so you can use them over and over again until they are empty. to pour as large or as small a drink as you’d like. The E-Pak automatically dispenses your beverage and mixes it in mid-air with refrigerated water or piping-hot water to make “Your Drink. Your Way. Right Away.” Every Esio E-Pak delivers up to 14 8-oz. servings of your favorite name brand hot or cold beverage. Then put your E-Pak away and reuse it until it is empty – it automatically self-seals, so it lasts for up to a year, no refrigeration required.

All the beverages your Esio makes are low calorie and low sugar, as well as delicious.

The BEST part is that the Esio E-Paks are .36-.46 cents per 8oz serving.

Our favorite drinks have become the Apple and Eve Apple Juice and the V8 Splash Tropical juice.

 

Strength Selector

Patented 15-Setting Strength Selector

Your Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System has a patented 15-setting Strength Selector that lets you dial in the strength of beverage you want. Why settle for a beverage maker that only gives you 1, 2 or 3 strength options.

I LOVE the fact that you have a strength Selector… I like my drinks with a light flavor and the kids like it a little stronger, so with the Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System everyone is happy with their flavor strength.

 

Safety Feature

To activate the hot water on your Esio, just tap the Strength Selector dial in the middle and then press the red/hot button to pour yourself a hot beverage. This 2-step process helps ensure no one dispenses hot water by mistake.

This is the GREATEST feature.  Especially with a 5yr old boy in the house that likes to press buttons and do things on his own

 

Nearly 2-Gallon Capacity

Your Esio holds up to 1.85 gallons of water when completely full. That’s more than enough capacity to make sure that no matter how thirsty your family and friends are, your Esio is always hot, always cold, always on, always ready.

We love that there is no need for refilling all the time.

Refill Indicator Light

Simply put more water in your Esio whenever you see the orange Refill Indicator Light come on, and you will always have piping-hot or refreshingly-cold drinks at the touch of a button.

Let me recap the AWESOME sides of the Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System:

  • It makes HOT and COLD drinks- enough said!
  • It make the perfect strength for everyone’s taste, I tend to go light while the kids like more flavor.
  • There is a 2 step safety feature so that no one can accidentally get burned by hitting the wrong button.
  • The Esio E-Paks low calorie and low sugar,  can use up to a year later and only .36-.46 cents per 8oz serving.
  • Last but NOT least…. you don’t have to refill it all the time! : )

 

There are a few down sides to the Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System:

  • It takes up a lot of counter space, but it’s a good reason to put other small appliances away so that it can “shine”  on it’s own.
  • When dispensing it splatters when using a smaller cup- easy fix.. use a taller cup.

 

I can’t wait to share the Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System the whole family when they come for Christmas. Everyone has their own taste and we will now have a simple easy tasteful way to make everyone happy.

 

Make sure that the Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System is on your Christmas list for your family.

Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System is now available in 2,400 Walmart stores across the U.S.!

Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System, which retails at Walmart for $199.

I received this product from MomSelect and Esio Hot & Cold Beverage System.
