With the launch of BEEZER®, a sleek new beverage cooler, renowned German kitchen appliance brand ritterwerk brings its century-long tradition of purposeful design and precision engineering into a fresh and unexpected category, once again proving why it remains at the forefront of culinary innovation.
From Bread Slicers to Beverage Coolers
Founded in 1905 near Munich, ritterwerk has long been celebrated for its high-quality, Bauhaus-inspired appliances — from deli slicers to hand blenders. Still proudly manufacturing in Gröbenzell, Bavaria, the family-run company is synonymous with German engineering and reliability. Over the past decade, it has maintained its dominance in Germany’s slicer market while expanding into built-in appliances and now, with the BEEZER®, into fast-cooling technology.
The shift from slicing bread to chilling bottles might seem like a leap — but for ritterwerk, it’s a logical extension of its mission to simplify culinary routines without compromising on form or function.
The Beezer®: Cold Drinks in Minutes
Designed to meet the demands of modern living, the BEEZER® is not your average bottle cooler. It’s a compact tabletop appliance capable of cooling a 0.75-litre bottle from room temperature to around 9°C in just 3 to 6 minutes — at least 10 times faster than a conventional freezer. No water. No ice. No pre-planning.
Whether you’re hosting unexpected guests, arranging a last-minute dinner party, or just craving a cold soda on a hot day, the BEEZER® is designed to deliver perfectly chilled drinks on demand. With options for different bottle sizes and adjustable cooling levels, it caters to everything from small cans to full-bodied wine bottles.
How It Works: Patented Simplicity
The BEEZER®’s impressive performance is powered by a patent-pending air-circulation system and high-efficiency compressor technology. Once pre-cooled — a process that takes about 10 minutes — the unit uses air below -30°C to rapidly extract heat from your drink through forced convection.
The bottle rotates during the process, ensuring uniform cooling from neck to base. For fragile or oddly shaped bottles, users can disable the rotation function. And for even more control, the accompanying mobile app, BEEZER® Connect, offers remote operation, customisable cooling presets, and a timer, plus insights on ideal drink temperatures.
Elegant Design Meets Intuitive Use
Beyond function, the BEEZER® is a nod to ritterwerk’s design roots. The LED ring on the cooling chamber door communicates operating status through a minimalist color system — blue for cooling, turquoise for pre-cooling, and so on. The interface features four simple buttons for start, rotation, bottle size, and cooling level.
Available in black or white, its clean lines and neutral palette make it a seamless fit in both modern and traditional kitchens.
A Wine Lover’s Dream
While the BEEZER® is perfectly suited for casual users, it’s also a game-changer for wine enthusiasts. Serving wine at the ideal temperature — whether a chilled Riesling or a lightly cooled Pinot Noir — can elevate the entire tasting experience. The BEEZER® provides even, gentle cooling that preserves flavour integrity and aromatic complexity, something ice buckets and freezers simply can’t guarantee.
Recommended by sommeliers and praised for its precision, the BEEZER® allows spontaneous tastings without compromising the wine’s character.
Efficiency, Sustainability, and German Quality
Unlike thermoelectric or Peltier-based coolers, which mostly maintain existing temperatures, the BEEZER® is purpose-built for rapid cooling. It’s dry, clean, energy-efficient, and avoids the waste associated with single-use ice or excess fridge space.
Like all ritterwerk appliances, the BEEZER® is manufactured to German quality standards and backed by a two-year warranty. The brand’s in-house expertise also means service and support are always close at hand.
In a world where convenience often clashes with quality, the BEEZER® proves that you don’t have to choose. You can have your drink—and chill it too.
