If you’re looking for a way to keep your beer cool, especially since no one likes tepid beer, then perhaps the eCool beer cooler could be worth your consideration. We should point out that as you can see in the picture above, the eCool beer cooler is not your typically cooler. It does not use any electricity, but rather relies on a very old concept, which is keeping your beer underground.
Basically what it does is that it requires you to dig a hole in the ground, deep enough to fit the cooler, and from there you just place the device in and let nature do the work. The eCool cooler will fit 24 cans and is meant to be a one time installation, so you can keep it there all year round if that’s what you want.
But wait, how do I get my beer or put in new ones? Well that’s where the hand crank comes in. The crank will allow users to either pull up a new can of beer, or lower a new can into the ground. Now we should point out that it probably won’t provide you with icy cold beer, but it should keep your beers somewhat cool, cool enough to drink.
The temperature of the beers will depend on your surroundings, so if you live in a cold country, then chances are you will get nice, cold beers. If you’re living in a country where there are extremely hot summers, then there is a good chance you won’t achieve the same temperatures. In any case if this sounds like a good idea, you will be able to pick up an eCool beer cooler for yourself for $300.
It’s a tad expensive for a cooler, but if you’re trying to cut back on electricity, or if you’re going to a place where you know that there won’t be any fridges, then perhaps the eCool beer cooler could be worth that money.
