How it works
Stop when it says stop. That’s it.
Set a recipe, start pouring, and the LED ring guides you as the coaster weighs each ingredient down to the gram.
Place your glass
Set any glass on the coaster and connect over Bluetooth — pairing takes seconds.
Pick a cocktail
Choose from 124 built-in recipes — classics and 16 South African drinks — or freestyle your own.
Pour to the light
The coaster weighs your pour live. The ring tells you when to slow down and when to stop.
Enjoy
A perfectly balanced drink — the first time and every time.
Inside the coaster
Precision engineering, drink-side
A lab-grade load cell under a machined bezel, driven by a modern Bluetooth microcontroller. The emerald ring isn’t decoration — it’s the instrument.

Buying with confidence
You’re early. Here’s your safety net.
PourPilot has only just gone on sale, so you won’t find a wall of five-star reviews below — we’re not going to invent any. Instead, here is everything about this purchase you can verify for yourself before you spend a rand.

South African application ZA 2026/07338, lodged 17 July 2026. A number you can look up at CIPC — not a badge we drew ourselves.
7 days to change your mind
Cancel within 7 days of delivery for a full refund, no reason needed — your right under section 44 of the ECT Act. Return it in original condition; you cover the return postage.
12-month warranty
Twice the 6 months the CPA requires. If it fails under normal use we repair, replace or refund — your choice. Local address, local courier, no international RMA.
Free delivery, priced up front
Courier to your door anywhere in South Africa, included. If a remote address costs the courier more, you see the exact difference at checkout before you pay.
A real workshop, not a dropshipper
Designed, assembled and supported in South Africa — hand-built in a first production run. Email support reaches the person who built it.
The honest version
You’d be among the first people to own one. That is a real risk, and the answer isn’t a testimonial we wrote ourselves — it’s that backing out is cheap. Try the free app first. If the coaster arrives and it isn’t what you hoped, send it back inside 7 days and get every rand of the purchase price returned.

The recipe library

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The coaster talks to your phone directly over Bluetooth, and the app works fully offline — recipes, pouring and your bar all work with zero connectivity. An optional free account is only needed if you want to sync your bar list across devices.
How is it powered?
Over USB-C. Plug it into any USB power source (a wall adapter, power bank or laptop) and it’s ready — there’s no battery to charge mid-party.
Which phones does it work with?
Any modern iPhone or Android phone with Bluetooth. The PourPilot app is available for iOS and Android.
How accurate is it?
The coaster uses a lab-grade load cell with a 24-bit amplifier and measures your pour live to the gram — more precise than a jigger, and you see it happening in real time.
Do you ship outside South Africa?
We currently ship within South Africa. International shipping is on the roadmap — get in touch if you’d like to be notified.
What does delivery cost?
Delivery is free on almost every order — we cover the first R200 of courier cost per coaster. If the courier quotes more than that for your address (usually a remote area), the difference is added to your order and shown at checkout before you pay.
What if I change my mind?
You have a 7-day cooling-off period from delivery under the Consumer Protection Act — return the coaster in its original condition for a full refund. Every coaster also carries a 12-month warranty. See our terms for details.
