The Lindr Kontakt 40 is a portable dry cooler with 2 taps and 40 l/h continuous output, designed to serve beer and other cold beverages with a compact format, 3/8 quick connection and a performance level suitable for demanding home use, events and small professional applications.

What this product offers
The Lindr Kontakt 40 occupies a very interesting space between compact domestic units and portable coolers clearly intended for professional use. The manufacturer itself explains that this range combines the compactness of the Pygmy series with the performance and technologies of professional equipment for restaurants and pubs, which makes it a very well-balanced solution for those who need more flow without moving up to a bulkier unit.
Its great value lies in being able to work with two taps and two cold drinks, with a continuous output of 40 l/h and a maximum of 50 l/h. That allows it to fit both in advanced home setups and in events, tastings, garden parties, drink corners, temporary bars and small restaurants or bars, as long as the planned service matches its real capacity.
In addition, Install Beer presents it as a high‑performance unit in a compact size, ready to pour cold beer in 5–8 minutes and including 4 metres of beer tubing and John Guest connectors. All this makes it especially interesting for anyone looking for a serious portable dispenser with two outlets, a good balance between flow rate, size and cost, and quick assembly with a sound technical approach.

Compatibility and use cases
The Kontakt 40 uses a 3/8" beverage outlet and is designed to serve two independent cold drinks. Since it does not include a built‑in air compressor, pressure must be provided externally. Install Beer provides connection diagrams for 1 keg or 2 kegs, using either an external air compressor or CO₂, which makes this platform quite flexible if the rest of the components are compatible.
In practice, this means the system is usually made up of unit + 3/8 tubing + compatible coupler or couplers + external pressure system + keg or kegs. If you are going to use it with two references, the normal setup is two independent circuits and carefully checking which coupler corresponds to each keg.
Its natural scenarios are demanding homes, events, parties, garden parties, caterings, fairs, tasting corners, temporary bars and small restaurants or bars. The manufacturer describes it as a unit capable of serving smaller hospitality operations while at the same time meeting high demands for domestic and light professional service.
Installation and considerations before buying
-
Confirm whether you’ll be working with 1 or 2 kegs: the installation layout changes, and it’s important to be clear whether you’ll use a single drink or two independent products.
-
Check the coupler type: you need the correct coupler according to the keg and the beverage. If you use two kegs, you must check both.
-
Remember that it does not have an integrated compressor: you must decide whether you will work with CO₂ or with a compatible external air compressor.
-
Check the beverage line: the outlet is 3/8", so it is advisable to check tube, fitting and adapter sizes before installation.
-
Quick connectors: the Install Beer usage diagram shows an approximate insertion of 20 mm of tubing into the quick connector for a proper fit.
-
Space and actual footprint: although still portable, it is a larger unit than a Pygmy. Carefully check usable depth, hose routing and stable surface area.
-
Power supply: it requires a 220–240 V 50 Hz~1 electrical outlet and a safe installation.
-
Type of use: for temporary bars and events it is very competitive; for more intensive work or long fixed installations, it is worth considering a higher range or a specific configuration.
Recommended maintenance and use
As in any dispense system, actual performance depends on line cleanliness, condition of the coupler, correct pressure, temperature and condition of connectors and taps. In a two-line unit this is even more important, because any imbalance between circuits can affect service and flow rate.
It is also advisable to keep the ventilation areas clean and to use the unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s manual, especially because it works with R290 refrigerant. If the system is going to be used frequently at events or in professional service, it is recommended to establish a clear routine for cleaning, checking seals and inspecting quick connections.
