Supplies

Keeping your bar supplied

Small consumables are easy to overlook, but planning for them helps keep your equipment ready when you want to make a drink.

Begin with the requirements of the equipment you already own. A replacement supply should match the exact product and specification listed by its manufacturer, rather than simply looking similar.

Check the information on the packaging before ordering. Compatibility, quantity and storage instructions are useful details to know before making space for a refill or replacement.

Buy what your setup needs

Keep a simple note of the supplies you use regularly and check what remains before buying more. A modest, organised reserve is often more useful than a collection of unfamiliar extras.

Store supplies as instructed and retain the product information where you can find it. When choosing replacements, return to the equipment maker's guidance rather than relying on appearance alone.
