I'm using the Fass Frisch party star deluxe, and it's as solid as the day I bought it (around 3 years ago). Good quality german engineering

Re: Recomendations for a mini keg tap?
Do any of you dispense Lagers or Cider from the mini kegs or lower carbonated beers? Do you find the gas bulbs keep the fizz in the beer?
Has anyone tried a NO2 creamer cartridge in one if these? I was looking to try one. I've just joined the forum and got my buzz back for the mini kegs.
I managed to pick up a cooler/dispenser from eBay, that accepts both pressured and I pressured kegs. It has a slot for a gas canister. Haven't really experimented with it yet. http://www.chambrer.com/beerdispenser.html Nice bit of kit, but a bit bulky to keep in the house, so the missus says.
I've also got the profi tap, but it seems quite flimsy. I reckon I should have gone for the beer king one.
The German company who make the Fass Frisch party star deluxe tap emailed me to say they would post to the Uk as long as I pay the postage or said to go to Leyland Homebrew, who they deal with in the Uk. Cheaper apparently , postage wise.
