Tapcooler Counter Pressure Bottle Filler — they run like $80. Are they worth it?

I have the Tapcooler. It is fine, but I think the Nukatap version seems more versatile since it works with Duotight fittings.

I have the TapCooler with ball lock adapter. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a counter pressure bottle filler.

I’ve never tried the Nukatap.

I absolutely love my TapCooler! It couldn't be easier to use and is far more compact and easy to store when compared to a beer gun. Plus with an add-on you can use it for canning. Definitely worth every penny.
