Due to COVID19, I have been botteling allot more recently. The homebrew clubs I am in all have their own beer exchange drop off locations. Not enough to need a bench capper, but enough to want one (typically I only bottle for competitions, or belgians which use corks).
I guess I just want something to motivate me to bottle. I realize this may be overkill for my needs but I like good quality stuff.
I'm trying to decide between this one (*made in Italy):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q8XGY74/
and this one (*also made in Italy):
https://www.morebeer.com/products/queen-lux-professional-bench-bottle-capper.html
I don't care about the price difference, just which one will give a better experience and last a long time (My wing capper is already 8 years old without issues so pretty much anything is overkill lol).
The first one is all metal, you adjust the base so the lever stays in the same position. There are slots on the back to move the bottle up and down.
Second one just looks like a more traditional but higher quality capper. I can't find any reviews on it
Also considering the professional one but honestly it seems like it offers little advantage over the other two, and this one is around $200-$250. The $130-$150 version Deluxe Bench Bottle Capper | MoreBeer looks like it's more difficult to adjust when using different height bottles?
Anyways I'm open to suggestions, right now I'm leaning towards the cheaper one due to it's all metal construction, but the queen lux looks to be decent quality too?
