How taps, faucets, coils, and dispensers work: Complete guide and best options
What is a beer tap and how does it work?
A beer tap is a device used to dispense beer directly from a keg or tank. But how does a beer tap work? Let’s take a look:
- Counter-pressure mechanism: Uses CO2, mixed gas or nitrogen to push the beer out of the keg.
- Cooling System: Keeps the beer at the perfect temperature.
- Controlled Flow: Allows you to adjust speed and pressure, preventing excessive foam.
With a tap, the beer keeps its fresh flavor and texture, just like you’d enjoy it at your favorite bar.

A beer dispenser is a device that allows you to serve beer directly from a keg, but with greater portability and a user-oriented design.
- Keg Connection: Connect the coupler directly to the beer keg.
- Cooling System: Like the tap, it needs to keep the beer cold throughout the entire circuit.
- Lever Mechanism: Allows beer to be served with a simple manual open-and-close action.

- Integration with Taps and Draft Towers: Works in conjunction with other dispensing devices, from the keg to the tap.
